Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Returns to the 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. Hot on the heels of Free Fire's confirmation, Moonton has officially announced that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will also be featured.
The 2024 tournament showcased two Mobile Legends: Bang Bang events: the MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. These events brought together teams from various global regions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Selangor Red Giants emerged victorious in the MSC, while Smart Omega Empress defeated Team Vitality (ending their 25-game 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 appear set to return in 2025, a notable observation is the lack of truly major championship events. The inclusion of a mid-season cup as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang's main contribution suggests the Esports World Cup might be viewed as a secondary event rather than the primary focus. This is a double-edged sword; it avoids overshadowing existing leagues but could also be perceived as less significant than other tournaments.
Regardless, fans of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and other returning titles will undoubtedly welcome the continuation of this prestigious tournament.
