TopLevel MLBB
A fully custom-built game coaching platform for ex-pro player Coach Steve (Blacklist International) — featuring premium course access, video tutorials, admin dashboard, and user accounts.
Where They Started
Coach Steve, a former professional player from Blacklist International — one of the most decorated esports teams in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) history — wanted to share his pro-level knowledge with aspiring players across the Philippines.
Together with co-founder Coach Kevier, they had years of competitive experience and coaching expertise but no dedicated platform. They were relying on scattered social media posts and manual Messenger conversations to sell coaching sessions. There was no structured way for students to access course materials, track progress, or manage premium subscriptions.
What Was Needed
- Build a fully custom website from scratch — no WordPress, no Shopify — pure custom code
- Implement a premium subscription system with 1-month and 3-month course access tiers
- Create an admin dashboard for managing users, granting premium access, and monitoring analytics
- Build a user dashboard for students to track progress, access paid videos, and manage their accounts
- Design a gaming-themed UI with dark mode, hero gameplay showcases, and video tutorial integration
- Integrate Messenger ordering for payment processing and customer communication
What We Did
Custom Platform Architecture: Built the entire platform from scratch using PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and custom CSS — no templates, no page builders. The codebase includes a full authentication system, role-based access control (admin vs. user), and a secure database architecture.
Admin Dashboard: Developed a comprehensive admin panel where Coach Steve and his team can manage users, grant or revoke premium account access, view analytics, monitor sign-ups, and manage video content — all from a single, intuitive interface.
User Dashboard: Created a personalized student dashboard where users can log in, view their subscription status, access premium video tutorials (locked behind paywall), track which courses they've completed, and manage their account settings.
Premium Subscription System: Implemented a tiered subscription model with 1-month and 3-month course access options, plus a free all-skin access tier. The system includes subscription tracking, expiration handling, and automatic access gating for premium-only content.
Gaming-Themed UI Design: Designed a dark, immersive interface with purple and gold accents that captures the competitive esports atmosphere. The hero section features the bold tagline "Stop Guessing. Start Winning." — with video tutorials, hero gameplay showcases, and student testimonials prominently displayed.
Video Tutorial Platform: Built a structured video learning section with categories for roaming strategy, drafting tactics, and hero-specific gameplay. Videos are gated behind premium access, with a clean player interface optimized for both desktop and mobile viewing.
The Outcome
TopLevel MLBB launched as the #1 MLBB coaching platform in the Philippines — a fully operational custom-built web application with premium subscriptions, admin controls, and a growing library of pro-level video tutorials.
The platform empowers Coach Steve and Coach Kevier to monetize their pro gaming expertise through a structured, scalable system. Students sign up, purchase premium access, and immediately gain entry to exclusive video lessons on drafting, roaming, and hero mastery — all managed through the custom admin dashboard.
The project demonstrates full-stack web development capabilities: from database architecture and authentication to payment integration and a polished, gaming-themed frontend — all without relying on any CMS or template.
