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 Esports 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. 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?
While most games from the 2024 Esports World Cup are returning, it's noticeable that few, if any, are showcasing their premier tournaments. The inclusion of MLBB's mid-season cup, for instance, might suggest the Esports World Cup is viewed as a secondary event rather than the main attraction. This is a double-edged sword; it avoids overshadowing existing leagues but could also diminish the EWC's overall prestige.
Regardless, fans of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will be thrilled to see 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!
