Mobile Legends: Bang Bang to return for Esports World Cup in 2025

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 officially announced that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will also be featured.

The 2024 World Cup showcased two Mobile Legends: Bang Bang events: the MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. These tournaments brought together teams from around the globe to compete in Riyadh. Selangor Red Giants emerged victorious in the MSC, while Smart Omega Empress defeated Team Vitality (ending their impressive 25-game win streak) to claim the Women's Invitational title.

A Strong Showing, But Is It Enough?

Most games from the 2024 Esports World Cup appear to be returning. However, a noticeable trend is the absence of truly major championship events. The inclusion of the MLBB Mid-Season Cup, for instance, might suggest that some view the Esports World Cup as a supplementary event rather than the primary focus. This is a double-edged sword; it avoids overshadowing established leagues but could also be perceived as secondary to the main competitions.

Despite this, fans of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will be thrilled with its return to this prestigious tournament. If this news inspires you to try MLBB, check out our tier list of top-tier characters!
