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, Moonton's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) has officially confirmed its return for the 2025 competition. This follows the earlier announcement of Garena's Free Fire also returning.

The 2024 tournament showcased two MLBB events: the MLBB Mid Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. These events 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 (holders of a remarkable 25-championship winning 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, a notable observation is the lack of truly major championships featured. The inclusion of MLBB's mid-season cup, for instance, might suggest the Esports World Cup is viewed as a supplementary event rather than the main stage. This is a double-edged sword: it avoids overshadowing existing leagues, but could also be perceived as secondary to primary MLBB competitions.

Regardless, fans of MLBB will undoubtedly welcome its return to this prestigious tournament. If this news has piqued your interest in MLBB, be sure to check out our Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tier list to discover the top-tier characters!
