The 2025 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid-Season Cup was an international tournament of the esports Multiplayer online battle arena game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang . It was the eighth iteration of the competition and the second iteration under the branding "Mid-Season Cup" since its conception in 2024. [1] [2] The tournament began with the Wild Card stage from July 10 to July 13, and ended with the Grand Finals on August 2, 2025. [3]
For the second time, the tournament is in partnership with the 2025 Esports World Cup. It occurred alongside the Mobile Legends: Bang BangWomen's Invitational and other esports titles in the said world cup. [4] [5]
Team Liquid PH won the first MSC title for the organization after winning over the defending champions of Malaysia Selangor Red Giants OG Esports 4–1 in the Grand Finals. This is the first title for the Philippines since MSC 2022 and the second-consecutive season that a Philippines vs. Malaysia Grand Finals took place. [6] Team Liquid PH's Exp Laner Sanford "Sanford" Vinuya was named Finals MVP.
MSC 2025 occurred simultaneously with the 2025 Esports World Cup held in Saudi Arabia. It is an international tournament where numerous major esports titles, such as League of Legends, Dota 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Valorant, are competed by the worlds' most renowned teams. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang was part of the inaugural games played in EWC in 2024.
Like other MOBAs, Moonton release patches for the game that would eventually culminate to forming METAs or the "most effective tactics available," alongside the usage of newly released or buffed up heroes for their tactical advantage.
Patch 1.9.91 was used for MSC 2025 and has been available for access since July 9. [7] The primary changes with the patch was the introduction of a new mage named Zetian and the significant nerfs and attribute adjustments to heroes picked for the most effective tactics available (META) in-game. The patch notes summary is live and accessible through the game itself in the Events Tab.

| Hero Name | Adjustment(s) | |
X.Borg | General Indication: BUFF Passive: BUFF – All skills now deal True Damage to enemies in the Overheated state. Previously, only Skill 1 could do this. | |
Kimmy | Kimmy is still a bit too dominant in the new patch. We've slightly turned down her mobility and the crowd control ability of her Ultimate. General Indication: NERF Attributes: NERF – Movement Speed was increased from 255 to 245. | |
Kalea | Kalea is still a bit too dominant in the new patch. We've slightly turned down her healing capability in the early to mid game.

Lapu-Lapu | After the previous enhancements, Lapu-Lapu's durability has gone beyond our expectations. We aim to change this by slightly reducing his sustained damage absorption in team fights. General Indication: NERF Skill 2: NERF – Damage reduction on hit was 30% + 8% per additional hero hit, it was decreased to 20% + 8% per additional enemy hero hit. | |

The MSC x EWC 2025 management have announced their introduction to the "Time Rewind" tool, the first of its kind to be included in the tournament. The Time Rewind Tool is the ability for marshals to restore a previous point of a gain if an incident affects the competitive integrity of the match. The tool is then used to rewind to a certain point of the game with both sides agreeing to the rewind. The management said that there were only two ways that marshals gave a fair opportunity for both teams to try and fix patches and errors such as the traditional pause where matches are paused in a specific time for five minutes in which marshals and members of the technical team would try to fix the error in game or in the venue or a rematch.
In accordance with the MSC x EWC 2025 handbook, strict provisions were imposed for both the teams and the marshals from ever abusing their rights and authority to use the Time Rewind Tool. The management has said that any tactical exposure for either teams may be experienced if the tool is used however, the management has made it clear that communications between players are prohibited during the pause and only permitted communication will be from the players and marshals only. [8]
Similarly to MSC 2024, the venue for MSC 2025 will be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Fifteen of the sixteen group-stage teams will be outright qualifying from major regions in Mobile Legends. These regions have made a name for themselves as the home of powerhouse teams including Indonesia [9] [10] and the Philippines [11] [12] alongside emerging powerhouse regions such as Malaysia [13] and Singapore. [14] Also included in the group-stage are established regions in their own right, with Moonton accredited competitions being the qualifying tournament for MSC such as Cambodia, MENA, North America, and Turkey. Meanwhile, Myanmar's inception returned following all esports competition halting in the region due to the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état [15] and China with its growing esports base was seemed fitting to be of the same caliber as pre-established teams. [16]
Eight teams from the different regions of accredited Moonton tournaments will battle for the one wildcard slot in the group stage. These eight teams will be grouped into two different groups and will follow the GSL Format—The Global StarCraft II League Format—where all teams have three chances to qualify for the knockouts. [17] The GSL Format has been used as the tournament format for several esports titles including the aforementioned StarCraft II and Dota 2 .
In the opening match, the four teams will play a Best-of-3 series. Winning teams will advance and face each other in the winner's bracket while losing teams will advance to the loser's bracket. The team who wins in the winner's bracket will qualify for the knockout stage while the losing team will wait for the winner in the losers bracket. Simultaneously, the winner of the loser's bracket will face the loser of the winner's bracket while the loser of the loser's bracket will be eliminated.
In the redemption round, whoever wins Round 3 will qualify for the knockout stage while the loser will be eliminated. All teams who won 2-0 and 2-1 series will advance, those who loss 1-2 and 0-2 will be eliminated. The four teams who qualified for the knockout stage will battle each other to advance to the wild card finals. The winner of the wild card finals will qualify for the group stage.
In the group stage, the two representatives from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, joined by the champions of Myanmar and the EECA (CIS) will be put in Seed 1 while the remaining teams will be put into Seed 2. According to the group stage format video released by MLBB esports on YouTube these teams were split into two groups prompting regional diversity as per caster Gideon Khew "GideonQ" Wei Yung. All of these teams will be drawn into two brackets and no region will be bracketed in the same group.
Each team will then play a Best-of-3 series in a double-elimination format. Similarly to the Wild Card stage, teams with a record of 2-0 and 2-1 advances and qualifies to the knockout stage while teams with a 1-2 and 0-2 record will be eliminated.
In the knockout stage, the eight qualified teams will be divided into two groups: teams who won 2-0, and teams who won 2-1. Teams with a 2-0 advantage will have the luxury to pick their 2-1 challengers. In the same video, the thought of a 2-0 team picking a weaker 2-1 team is palpable however, tides may turn regardless of their opponents. As of June 24, according to Yung, the team who will pick first will only be determined once the competition begins. For the first time since MSC 2023, a third-place match will be introduced. All matches in the knockout stage from the Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and the Third Place match will be a Best-of-5. Only the Grand Finals will be a Best-of-7.
A total of sixteen teams will be competing in the Group Stage while only eight are to advance to the knockout stage. The wild card stage returned for the third-consecutive time since its inception in 2023. [18]
For MSC 2025, Japan made its MLBB comeback. Japan last competed on a MLBB competition during the MLBB M2 World Championships and has since not competed. [19]
Majority of the qualified teams for MSC 2025 are returning teams from the previous edition and/or during the Southeast Asian Cup editions of the games. These include current champions Selangor Red Giants OG Esports (2024) and former champions ONIC Esports (2019, 2023). MSC 2025 is uniquely the first edition of the games where two sister-teams have qualified for the tournament, that being ONIC Esports and ONIC Philippines.
On June 30, 2025, Moonton announced that S8UL Esports, [20] who qualified as the North American Challenger Tournament (NACT) Spring champions, were no longer eligible to compete at MSC 2025 after two of their players, Michael "MobaZane" Cosgun and Jang "Hoon" Seong-hun, participated in a promotional event for the rival MOBA game Honor of Kings (also present at Esports World Cup) and got disqualified. As a result, NACT Spring runners-up Area 77 qualified in their place. See: S8UL Esports Disqualification

In a closed-door draw session for the wild-card stage, the eight competing teams for the MSC Wild Card stage were grouped into the following brackets. Four teams will advance to the Wild Card Crossover Knockout Stage where only one team will advance to the main Group Stage. [26]
China's Rare Atom and ARM' Virtus.pro qualified for the wildcard crossover matches in the semifinals as one of the four remaining teams to qualify for the MSC Group Stage. Rare Atom qualified to the crossover semis after defeating Vietnam's Legion Esports 2-0 and Virtus.pro qualified to the crossover semis after defeating Argentina's INFLUENCE RAGE 2-1.
Virtus.pro won the crossover wildcard match against Rare Atom, 3–1. This gives the EECA a second slot for the MSC Group Stage Brackets for the first time in MSC history. They join the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia as the only four regions to have two teams qualify for its regions.

Following the conclusion of the crossover match, MPL Casters Gideon Khew "GideonQ" Wei Yung and Dan "Leo" Cubangay oversaw the draw portion for the MSC Group Brackets. Teams were separated into two different pools and each team were drawn to the two Group Brackets. The first team was drawn for Group A and the second team was drawn for Group B and this format was followed until all sixteen teams were drawn to their group.
ONIC Philippines was drawn originally to Group A however, with Team Liquid PH being drawn earlier and both teams are from the same region, MSC rules were implemented so that ONIC Philippines and Team Liquid PH would be in different groups, thereby making Mythic SEAL, the last team to be drawn from Pool 1, to be part of Group A instead of Group B.

As stated in the format video, all teams with a 2-0 aggregate will be selecting their opponents. Teams with the 2-0 aggregate are: Team Liquid, RRQ Hoshi, Team Spirit, and Mythic SEAL also in that order. The order to pick was determined by the speed of their game finishes with Team Liquid being the only team to finish their games under 1 hour. These four teams will pick one of their opponents from the 2-1 aggregate in SRG OG Esports, ONIC Esports, ONIC Philippines, and Aurora Türkiye.
The format of this stage is a single elimination bracket, meaning teams who lose in the quarterfinals will automatically drop out of the tournament, while those who lose in the semifinals will battle for the third place.

On June 28, 2025, Facebook community members were quick to point out the recent made posts by S8UL Esports Mid Laner Jang "Hoon" Seung-hun and Michael "MobaZane" Cosgun's then remarks regarding their participation and live streaming of the Multiplayer online battle arena game Honor of Kings, a direct competitor of MLBB on the mobile esports scene. Speculations around the team's fate were further bolstered after all group stage MLBB teams' rosters were unveiled except for S8UL.
On June 30, 2025, the MSC 2025 committee has officially suspended Jang and Cosgun from the competition and with it, S8UL Esports. The committee's handbook specifically says that it must fuel at least a six-man roster with prepared substitutes being put for reserves. Since Cosgun was the team's reserve and Jang as their starting Mid-Laner, S8UL Esports did not have enough players to replace Jang's lane, thus the team being disqualified for MSC 2025 for not meeting the requirements the roster rules. Fans and community members alike criticized Moonton and MSC Management for their decision in suspending S8UL Esports, attributing to a somewhat similar situation to Vitrus.pro whose jungler was underaged to travel with the team, thus signing Omega Jungler Andoryuuu.
