MANILA--Lazy Esports is making the jump to MPL Philippines.

The entire squad that won MDL Philippines Season 4 last year will make up the "new generation" of AP Bren.

On Friday, a day after Team Falcons Philippines announced the full acquisition of the former AP Bren roster, AP Bren revealed in what seemed like a music video for a rap song that it is bringing in the Lazy squad lock stock and barrel for MPL Philippines Season 15.

Landher "Der" San Gabriel, Jerry "Chovskrt" Nicol, Jefferdson "Kkdot" Mogol, James "JamesPangkz" Mendoza, Carl "Shizou" Valdez, and Aaren "Sindel" Palomo are now switching colors from Lazy's white and blue to AP Bren's black and gold.

The de facto "promotion" marks the return of San Gabriel and Mogol to the top division.

Both players played for Onic Philippines from 2022-2023 before they were assigned to its MDL affiliate Onic Arsenals.

Meanwhile, Valdez is finally setting foot on MPL Philippines after previously playing for TODAK in MPL Malaysia Season 13 last year.

The question now is if the new AP Bren squad can continue its dominance in the developmental league to the next level.

We can only find out beginning Feb. 28.
