MLBB Brings Mid Season Cup to Riyadh for 2025 Esports WC

• This year's total prize money reaches $3 million.
• The Wildcard stage runs from July 10th to 13th.
• The grand finals are scheduled for late July.

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup returns to Riyadh as part of the 2025 Esports World Cup, delivering another global showdown with an impressive $3 million prize pool. Reflecting EWC's expanding investment in mobile esports, the MSC will also be featured in the 2026 tournament lineup.

Starting with the Wildcard stage from July 10th to 13th during the EWC Festival, unqualified teams get a final opportunity to secure a place in the main event. The official MSC tournament then takes place from July 23rd to August 2nd, showcasing 16 elite MLBB teams from around the world.

This year's format remains consistent: a group stage with two double-elimination brackets of eight teams each, leading into single-elimination playoffs for the top eight. Beyond the multi-million dollar prize pool, the tournament MVP receives an additional $10,000 bonus.

Regional qualifiers are already in progress. Teams from major regions such as MPL Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and LATAM are competing for slots, while champions from Cambodia, Türkiye, and Myanmar have either confirmed their places or are nearing qualification.

The North America Challenger Tournament has concluded, with BloodThirstyKings securing their berth. The final lineup will be determined by the MSC x EWC China Qualifier and the MSC Wildcard event in July.

Last year's MSC provided a thrilling conclusion when Malaysia's Selangor Red Giants pulled off a stunning victory. Their perfect playoff run culminated in a decisive win over Falcons AP.Bren, an all-Filipino squad that had dominated the competition until the final match.
