The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup returns to Riyadh for the 2025 Esports World Cup with international competition and a $3 million prize pool.
- This year's prize pool is $3 million
- The Wildcard stage runs from July 10th to 13th
- The finals will occur in late July
As part of EWC's growing mobile esports initiative, the MSC will also feature in the 2026 tournament edition.
The competition begins with the Wildcard stage during the EWC Festival (July 10-13), where unqualified teams get their final qualification opportunity. The main MSC tournament follows from July 23rd to August 2nd, showcasing 16 elite MLBB teams.
This year maintains the successful format: group stages with two double-elimination brackets (8 teams each), progressing to single-elimination playoffs for the final eight. Alongside the multimillion-dollar prize pool, the tournament MVP earns a $10,000 bonus.
Global qualifiers are ongoing, with top regions like MPL Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and LATAM competing for slots. Champions from Cambodia, Türkiye, and Myanmar have either secured or approach qualification.

North America's Challenger Tournament concluded with BloodThirstyKings securing qualification. The MSC x EWC China Qualifier and July's MSC Wildcard will determine remaining bracket spots.
