MPL PHILIPPINES caster Chantelle “Chantelle” Hernandez has officially announced her departure from the casting desk that has been part of her life for seven years.
Known as the “Mother of All Series,” Chantelle leaves behind a legacy of giving life to some of MLBB’s most historic and unforgettable moments through her voice and energy.
“I never thought I’d be writing this. For seven years, I’ve dedicated my life to Mobile Legends. MPL became my home, my comfort, my world. This game, this community, this family... it’s been my world for so long. That’s why this is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make,” she began.
Chantelle began her MPL journey in Season 4, never imagining that her humble beginning would someday prove that women could shine on the esports stage. Now, she closes one chapter of her career to explore new horizons.
She explained that while her love for MPL remains, her personal goals and aspirations have shifted, prompting her to embark on new paths.
“What I wanted to pursue was no longer in line with the future direction of me staying in the MPL. Even though it breaks my heart, I knew I had to listen to that feeling,” she said.
A place she calls home
She expressed her deepest gratitude to her co-talents and colleagues in the league, describing them as more than just coworkers—they were her family, standing by her through every high and low.
“Hindi lang kayo naging katrabaho, naging pamilya ko kayo. Kasama ko kayo sa lahat ng saya, inis, lungkot, at hirap. I’ll always carry our memories with me, and I know that our bond goes way beyond the desk,” she expressed.
The veteran caster admitted the decision was both scary and exciting as she looks forward to a new chapter in her life.
“To everyone I’ve met along the way—you will forever have a place in my heart. Wala ako dito kung hindi dahil sa inyo. This isn’t goodbye, just me finding the courage to step out of home and open a new chapter in my life,” Chantelle said, hinting to fans that this may not be the last time they hear her voice.
“Salamat, Chantelle. Your voice and passion have brought so much life to the league. You’ve been an inspiration, a trailblazer, and one of the best casters the league ever witnessed. We will surely miss you, Ate ng lahat,” MPL Philippines wrote.
Over the past seven years, Chantelle became one of the league’s most recognizable casting voices, immortalizing legendary victories, heartbreaking defeats, and everything in between. As she turns the page, the impact she leaves behind will continue to live on in the hearts of the community.
To the Mother of All Series, you’ll always be remembered—not just for making every series longer than expected with your signature “magic,” or for making fans laugh with your jokes, but most of all, for breaking barriers and paving the way for women in esports.
