There were recent talks that Converge FiberX was supposedly forming a 'breakaway league' which would consist of the 'middle teams' from the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). These are the teams that wanted to compete against the SMC and MVP conglomerates, but found that competition in the PBA is no longer fair.

Perhaps it's safe to say that the 'speculation' on the farm teams is no longer just a theory. While the statement from Converge denied any of the accusations about the supposed formation of a breakaway league, they claim that 'it's about time we level the playing field.'
