as a new. Therefore, video games can no longer be seen as mere entertainment tools. As Games have become a tool to communicate, teach, and influence attitudes and behaviour, numerous studies have suggested that they have positive effects on problem solving, achievement as well as creating interest and commitment in learning.
Computer games have become one of the most important entertainment tools for children, teenagers and even adults all around the globe. Allowing access to the virtual world with unlimited possibilities, computer games compulsively attract many people. In fact, they have become an integral part of human society. In other words, by providing virtual fun and entertaining environments (Demirbileka & lema Tamer, 2010), and having characteristics such as being interesting and exciting, computer games stimulate motivation and create a sense of enjoyment of learning.

Through these games, can be won through strategic planning, selective attention, sensorimotor skills, and teamwork place considerable demands on the brain. The study revealed that the players of these games have faster information processing, allocate more cognitive power to individual visual stimuli, and allocate limited cognitive resources between successive stimuli more effectively through time.

brought excitement to students. The game like this can be used as a coping tool after exposure to stressful situations just like having a load of academic activities.
According to Tumbokon (2020), academic achievement may be negatively related to the over-all time spent playing video games. The study found out that student online game addicts argue a lot with their teachers, fight a lot with their friends, and their grade is lower than the students who play the online game less often. Some students admitted that used to skip their homework just to play the game.
Impulsivity of MOBA Gamers According to Filip Nuyens from Belgium (2015), it states that according to their experiments, using a large sample of adolescents indentified heightened trait impulsivility to act as a risk factor for developing subsequent problematic patterns of video game use. Moreover, it states that some experimental studies have demonstrated that problematic online gaming is characterized by impaired executive control, disadvantageous decision making and compromised delay discounting.
The Effect of MOBA Games on Adolescents' Psychological Health According to Anhwen He (2017), their hypothesis suggest that adolescents who mainly play MOBA games and shows a certain degree of addiction to MOBA games are more likely to have psychological problems than adolescents who mainly plays other genres of video games with proximately same level of addiction.

gender identity that the findings of her research indicate that many forms of mass media are contributing to the on-going gender imbalances in our society.
Local Studies According to Bautista (2019), Mobile Legends: Bang Bang can actually help the players to improve different skills that can be used in real life situations. Strategic thinking, critical thinking, and multitasking skills are the best examples of the skills that can be developed and nurtured while playing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Achieving the victory is the primary objective of this game. Preparing a good plan design using the ideas in your head can really be a good help to achieve it. Together with teammates connected by a server, the game also promotes teamwork and social connectivity.
According to Jana (2020), online games such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang helps the students to improve their problem-solving skills. It has a strategy that must be recognized by the player to win a game. It enables their mind to be more active and it helps them to come up with decisions in tight situations. In many cases there is a time pressure, which develops speed and decision making skill. Studies have shown that playing online game such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang can also increase the student creativity.
In addition Garcia (2020), found out that the student to who became addicted to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang may end up having a poor academic performance. When students dedicate much time to play this, they tend to forget to do their school activities. This will lead them to have a low grade and sometimes a failing grade.

worsening learning ability and concentration problems
According to Dumrique & Castillo (2019) students' learning takes place unexpectedly, but the inappropriate usage of playing online games also leads to some problems such as being distracted in school. The studies revealed that the human brain is easy to destruct. Therefore, playing this game can bring a huge impact on the student academic performance.
The studies concerning the effects of online game specifically Mobile Legends: Bang Bang to the academic performance of the students are contradictory because some of them suggest that online games may lead to negative effects while others said that it gives positive benefits. The relationship between the usage of online game and academic performance has no definitive answer to the question of whether online game disrupts academic performance. The objective of this study is to determine how Mobile Legends: Bang Bang affects the students' intellectual capacity in relation to their academic performance.
