Mobile Legends Bang Bang Midseason Cup in Esports World Cup 2024: Semifinal Day 1

The first Semifinal was among the most-awaited matches in the MLBB Esports community. Liquid ECHO crushed the seemingly unstoppable winning streak of Falcons AP.Bren — winners of M5 World Championship 2023, and Games of the Future 2024 — in MPL PH Season 13. So this was somewhat of a revenge from Falcon AP.Bren.

Falcons AP.Bren managed to stay unbeaten in the Group Stage before facing See You Soon in the Quarterfinals. They beat the giant killers of the tournament to enter the Semifinals.

However, Liquid ECHO has also shown potential as the regional champions of the Philippines. They emerged as the unbeaten group toppers in Group C. From thereon, they defeated Group D second-place holder Falcon Esports to book their seats in the Semifinal.

Falcons AP.Bren won the first two games of the best-of-five matchup. However, in the third game, Liquid ECHO came fighting back, raising hopes for a comeback story from the regional champions of the Philippines.

However, Falcons AP.Bren refused to leave anything on the table. The team sealed the result in the fourth game and defeated Liquid ECHO within 10 minutes to complete a 3-1 victory at the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Mid Season Cup Semifinal in Esports World Cup 2024.

Mobile Legends Bang Bang Mid Season Cup in Esports World Cup 2024: Semifinal Day 2

The second Semifinal of Mobile Legends Bang Bang Mid Season Cup in Esports World Cup 2024 was also jaw-dropping as the Selangor Red Giants, regional champions of Malaysia, faced NIP Flash, champions of Singapore.

Before this match, the best performance from a Singaporean team in the international stages of MLBB was by Impunity in 2017, as the team finished fourth in the MSC 2017. On the other hand, the best performance from a Malaysian squad came from Team TODAK, who finished third in the M Series World Championship in 2019. However, any of these records could change as these teams pushed to the finals of MSC 2024.

Selangor Red Giants fans were hopeful as their team maintained its unbeaten run for over 100 days and dominated Group B and its Quarterfinal match against FireFlux Esports.

On the other hand, NIP Flash had also been a dominating force in the MLBB Esports scene, especially, after Diablo, seasoned EXP Lanera and one of the best MLBB players in the tournament joined their ranks. The table toppers from Group A managed to beat HomeBois, the MPL MY 2024 runner-up, and WildCard Entree to enter the Semifinal.

However, Selangor Red Giants did not give NIP Flash a sniff and dominated the first three games to reach the finals of the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Mid Season Cup 2024.

While NIP Flash drew first blood in all three games, Selangor Red Giants delivered a dominant display to seal the result. With this win, they enter their second consecutive final at a major MLBB tournament unbeaten.

Prediction for the final of Mobile Legends Bang Bang Mid Season Cup in Esports World Cup 2024

With Selangor Red Giants and Falcons AP.Bren marching to the finals, fans could not have asked for a better conclusion to the major MLBB tournament's first appearance at the Esports World Cup.

The defending M Series Champions will face the undefeated regional champions of Malaysia. While it is hard to predict a winner, it might be a game where the pride of the Philippines, Falcons AP.Bren, will dominate Selangor Red Giants to clinch glory.

Despite possessing similar prowess, Falcons AP.Bren's experience at the highest level of major MLBB tournaments might swing the pendulum in its favor.
