The Esports World Cup (EWC) x Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Mid Season Cup (MSC) 2025 (EWC x MSC 2025) is set to make history as the largest MLBB tournament ever, with a record-breaking 16 competing regions.
MOONTON Games has officially announced the slot allocation for this grand event, scheduled to return in July 2025.
This year, the tournament expands even further, welcoming Japan and Vietnam to the Wild Card stage, reinforcing MLBB’s growing global presence and competitive reach.
Japan and Vietnam Secure Wild Card Slots
For the first time since the M2 World Championship in 2020, Japan is returning to the international MLBB esports scene, proving the game’s increasing popularity in the region.
Meanwhile, Vietnam makes its debut in the Wild Card stage—its first appearance since the format was introduced in international MLBB tournaments last year.
The Wild Card stage will feature eight additional teams, increasing the competition level and allowing more regions to make their mark in this prestigious tournament.
The previous edition, EWC x MSC 2024, reached an incredible 373,543 Peak Concurrent Viewers (PCV) during the Wild Card stage, making it one of the most-watched MLBB international tournaments.
The EWC x MSC 2025 Main Stage: A Global Battle for Glory
The Main Stage of the tournament will host 16 elite teams, including the Wild Card winner, battling for the coveted championship title.
With the inclusion of new regions, this year’s competition is set to be the most intense and globally diverse in MLBB’s history.
In 2024, MSC underwent a major rebranding, transforming from the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup into a fully international competition. The tournament expanded beyond Southeast Asia, with Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as its host city.
The move proved to be a massive success, with the EWC x MSC 2024 achieving 2.38 million PCV and over 29 million Hours Watched (HW), as reported by Esports Charts.

MOONTON Games remains dedicated to making MLBB esports an inclusive and competitive global platform. Mike Chu, Head of Regional Esports at MOONTON Games, expressed his enthusiasm for the tournament’s expansion:
“The addition of new regions in EWC x MSC 2025 highlights our commitment to fostering an inclusive MLBB esports ecosystem. By enhancing the tournament’s global reach, we are providing a platform for esports talent from around the world to compete at the highest level.
This expansion not only increases the competitive level on display, it also celebrates the diverse passion that drives the MLBB esports community. We’re excited to team up with the EWC for its second edition—to showcase how two esports giants celebrate spirited competition together.”
