Esports World Cup 2025: Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Prepares Return

Author : Jack Dec 20,2024

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 titles' return for the 2025 edition. Garena's Free Fire was an early confirmation, and now Moonton's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) has also joined the lineup.

The 2024 Esports World Cup featured two MLBB events: the MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. These events drew teams from around the globe to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Selangor Red Giants triumphed in the MSC, while Smart Omega Empress defeated Team Vitality (ending their impressive 25-game win streak) to claim victory in the Women's Invitational.

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 relatively minor scale of many of the featured competitions. The inclusion of MLBB's Mid-Season Cup, for instance, might suggest the Esports World Cup is viewed more as a supplementary event than a primary competition. This is a double-edged sword: it avoids overshadowing established leagues, but it could also diminish the EWC's overall prestige.

Nevertheless, fans of the participating games will undoubtedly welcome the return of so many familiar titles to this high-profile tournament. For those interested in trying MLBB, check out our Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tier list to discover the top-tier characters!
