MLBB World Championship returns to Indonesia

Indonesia hosted the M4 Championship in January 2023, which was the first time an MLBB world championship was held in the country. After two years, it is set to return to the country.

Six world championships of Mobile Legends Bang Bang have been held since its inception in 2016. The inaugural edition was won by Indonesia's Evos Legends in 2017. The Philippines have continued to dominate the next five editions.

Video game publisher Moonton has announced the MSC and MWI will be part of the prestigious Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh, which features many popular games like League of Legends, DOTA 2, and Counter-Strike 2. However, it has not revealed the prize pool for both its international tournaments of 2025.

The 2024 season of MLBB Esports was a massive success, featuring many grand events, including MSC and M6. Teams from across the world will now prepare for the 2025 season during which the publisher will host several regional events. MSC 2025 will be played sometime in the mid-year, while the M7 Championship will be held towards the end of 2025.

Fnatic ONIC from the Philippines dominated the M6 World Championship and earned $320,000 in prize money. Indonesian club Team Liquid, too, had a decent run, finishing runners-up. The club lost to Fnatic ONIC in the Grand Finals via a 1-4 scoreline. The organization will be eyeing the trophy in the next edition.

Selangor Red Giants from Malaysia, who won the MSC 2024 Riyadh, were the third-best performers of the M6 World Championship. Fan favorites RRQ Hoshi from Indonesia were brilliant in their initial matches but were challenged during the Knockout. The squad will look to win the next edition in the home country.
