Mr. Martinus H. Manurung, Head of Esports Business Development, MOONTON Games Indonesia, said:
"Welcoming AIMS reflects the continued growth and diversification of the MPL Indonesia partnership ecosystem. It is encouraging to see brands from new industries recognising the strength of MLBB esports, the passion of our community and the value of being part of this platform."
"The confidence shown by both new and long-standing partners continues to strengthen the ecosystem around MPL Indonesia. We are pleased to welcome AIMS for Season 18 and look forward to seeing how they engage with our community in a relevant, responsible and enjoyable way."
From Grind to Pro
At the heart of the partnership is a shared belief that progress takes discipline, learning, teamwork and consistency. Whether developing as an individual or competing as part of a team, becoming better requires preparation, patience, trust in others and a willingness to continuously improve.
AIMS sees the same values in trading education and personal development, where understanding the fundamentals, making informed decisions and maintaining discipline are essential parts of long-term progress.
The strength of the wider MPL Indonesia ecosystem also played an important role in AIMS' decision to join. The continued involvement of established brands and long-standing partners demonstrates the confidence businesses place in MPL and the community built around it.
Mr. Rudy Hermanto, Marketing Manager, AIMS International, said:
"We believe in MLBB and MPL as a healthy competitive esports ecosystem that brings people together. Whether you are improving individually or competing as a team, becoming better requires discipline, patience, learning and strong fundamentals."
"Those values resonate strongly with us at AIMS. Through this partnership, we want to provide an educational platform where the community can have fun, compete and connect, while also learning about responsible trading, discipline and financial market fundamentals."
"We have also seen the commitment that many established brands and partners have shown towards MPL Indonesia over the years. That gave us further confidence that this is an ecosystem worth being part of and contributing to."
Bringing Grind to Pro to the MPL Community
Throughout MPL Indonesia Season 18, AIMS will introduce its Grind to Pro platform through selected community, digital and offline initiatives. The programme will connect community participation, educational content, social activations and creator engagement with the shared values of discipline, teamwork and continuous improvement.
The objective is to build a partnership that goes beyond visibility, giving the MPL community meaningful ways to engage with AIMS throughout the season.
