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, several game publishers have announced their return for the 2025 edition. Moonton's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is the latest to confirm its participation.

The 2024 Esports World Cup featured two MLBB events: the MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) and the MLBB Women's Invitational. Teams from around the globe competed in Riyadh. Selangor Red Giants secured victory in the MSC, while Smart Omega Empress defeated Team Vitality (holders of a 25-game winning streak since 2021) in the Women's Invitational.

A Significant, Yet Secondary, Event?

Most games from the 2024 Esports World Cup appear to be returning. However, many of the featured competitions are not their respective titles' main events. The inclusion of MLBB's mid-season cup, for instance, suggests the Esports World Cup might be considered a secondary event by some. This is a double-edged sword; it avoids overshadowing established leagues but could also be perceived as less prestigious than the primary championships.

Regardless, fans will be delighted by the return of so many popular titles to this high-profile tournament.
