Mobile Legends Cup Returns for 2025 Esports World Cup in Riyadh

• This year's tournament features a $3 million prize pool.
• 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, featuring another exciting international showdown and a massive $3 million prize pool. Demonstrating the EWC's increasing focus on mobile esports, the MSC will also be included in the 2026 tournament edition.

Starting with the Wildcard stage from July 10th to 13th during the EWC Festival, unqualified teams will have a final opportunity to secure a place in the main event. The official MSC tournament then follows, taking place from July 23rd to August 2nd with 16 of the world's top MLBB teams competing.

This year’s format remains consistent and proven: a group stage with two double-elimination brackets of eight teams each, leading into a single-elimination playoff for the final eight. Besides the multi-million dollar prize pool, the tournament's Most Valuable Player will receive an extra $10,000 bonus.

Qualifying events are already happening worldwide. Teams from leading regions such as MPL Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and LATAM are battling for their slots, while champions from Cambodia, Türkiye, and Myanmar have either already qualified or are nearing confirmation.

The North America Challenger Tournament has concluded, with BloodThirstyKings securing their position. The remaining spots will be determined through the MSC x EWC China Qualifier and the MSC Wildcard event in July.

Last year's MSC ended with a thrilling victory as Malaysia’s Selangor Red Giants made a stunning playoff run to win the championship. Their flawless performance culminated in a decisive win over Falcons AP.Bren, an all-Filipino squad that had dominated the competition until the final match.
