Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is poised to take center stage as one of the featured competitive titles at the Esports World Cup. Breaking new ground, the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women’s Invitational (MWI) are venturing beyond Southeast Asia for the first time, with Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, hosting the prestigious events.
Boasting a staggering 1.46 billion installations and a monthly active user base exceeding 110 million, this popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) title is set to showcase professional esports teams hailing from 14 international regions and spanning over 35 countries. They will compete for the largest prize pool in MLBB competitive history, a whopping USD 3,000,000.
The MSC 2024 will introduce the Wild Card format, previously showcased in the M5 World Championship last year. As teams from around the world converge on Riyadh, the anticipation is high for intense competition and groundbreaking moments.
The country allocation for the Main Stage is carefully delineated, setting the stage for a truly global esports spectacle.
