Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Returns to Esports World Cup 2025

Following the apparent success of the Esports World Cup 2024, several game publishers have announced their return for the 2025 competition. Hot on the heels of Garena's Free Fire confirmation, Moonton has now confirmed that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will also feature.

The 2024 World Cup saw Mobile Legends host two events in Riyadh: the MLBB Mid Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. The MSC saw Selangor Red Giants claim victory, while the Women's Invitational was won by Smart Omega Empress, who defeated Team Vitality, ending their impressive 25-game winning streak.

A Promising, Yet Potentially Minor, Role?

While most games from the 2024 Esports World Cup are returning, it's notable that few are showcasing their premier tournaments. The inclusion of the MLBB Mid Season Cup, rather than a major championship, suggests the Esports World Cup might be viewed as a supplementary event rather than the main focus. This is a double-edged sword; it avoids overshadowing established leagues but also risks being perceived as secondary.

Despite this, fans of Mobile Legends will undoubtedly welcome its return to this high-profile tournament. Intrigued? Check out our Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tier list to discover the top-tier characters!
