Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Returns to the Esports World Cup 2025
Following the apparent success of the Esports World Cup 2024, Moonton's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has officially confirmed its return for the 2025 competition. This follows the earlier announcement of Garena's Free Fire also returning.
The 2024 World Cup showcased two Mobile Legends: Bang Bang events: the MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. Teams from around the globe competed in Riyadh, with Selangor Red Giants claiming victory in the MSC and Smart Omega Empress defeating Team Vitality (ending their 25-game win streak) in the Women's Invitational.
A Significant, Yet Secondary, Event?
While most games from the 2024 Esports World Cup are confirmed to return, a notable observation is the lack of truly major championship events featured. The inclusion of a mid-season cup as MLBB's main contribution might suggest the Esports World Cup is viewed as a supplementary event rather than the primary focus. This is a double-edged sword; it avoids overshadowing existing leagues but could also be perceived as secondary to the main championship tournaments.
Despite this, fans of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will undoubtedly welcome its return to this prestigious tournament. If this news has piqued your interest, check out our Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tier list to discover the top-tier characters!
