The 2020 The Nationals is the second season of The Nationals, an electronic sports (Esports) league in the Philippines. The season features three titles, Dota 2, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Tekken 7. The season will run from September 5[1] to sometime around December 2020.[2]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The start of the season was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The schedule of the league was condensed due to the delay a single tournament or conference to be held for each of the three titles unlike the previous season which featured two conferences per title.[3]

Competitors will play from their own respective locations instead of gathering in a specific venue with a studio setting as precaution against COVID-19.[3]

Teams

Conferences

Tekken 7

The Tekken 7 tournament was the first tournament to be played for the 2020 season. It was decided that Tekken 7 was to be held first due to the involvement of less players compared to team-oriented titles such as Dota 2 and Mobile Legends.[2]

Laus Playbook's AK (Alexandre Laverez) and Bren Esports' Maru (Maru Sy) contested the best of five finals with AK clinching the Tekken 7 conference title. AK won 3–1 against Maru.[4]

Dota 2

The Dota 2 tournament will be the second tournament to be played for the 2020 season.[2]

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tournament will be the last tournament to be played for the 2020 season.[2]
