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 edition. Moonton's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is the latest to confirm its participation, following Garena's Free Fire.
The 2024 Esports World Cup featured two Mobile Legends: Bang Bang events: the MLBB Mid Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. These events attracted teams from around the globe to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Selangor Red Giants emerged victorious in the MSC, while Smart Omega Empress defeated Team Vitality (who held a remarkable 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 notable that few are showcasing their premier tournaments. The inclusion of MLBB's mid-season cup, for instance, might suggest the Esports World Cup is considered 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.
Nevertheless, fans of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and other returning titles will undoubtedly welcome this news. For those intrigued by MLBB, check out our tier list of top-tier characters!
