MLBB MSC 2025, explained
Previously known as the Mobile Legends Southeast Asia Cup, the Mid Season Cup (MSC) is the second-biggest international tournament of the year, right behind the MLBB World Championship. The 2025 edition marks the second time MSC is part of the Esports World Cup, further cementing the game’s status as a top-tier global esport.
Malaysia’s Selangor Red Giants come into MSC 2025 as the reigning champions after edging out the Philippines’ Falcons AP.Bren 4-3 in a nail-biting grand final last year. That win was historic, as it marked the first time a Malaysian team claimed an international title.

Only the winner from this round secures a spot in the Group Stage.
Next up is the Group Stage, where a draw is done once again to divide the 16 teams into two groups. Here’s how the teams are divided:
| Group A | Group B |
|---|---|
| Team Liquid PH Ultra Legends ONIC ID CFU Gaming SRG.OG Virtus.pro Mythic SEAL Corinthians | HomeBois Team Flash Team Spirit DianFengYaoGuai RRQ Hoshi Area 77 ONIC PH Aurora Turkiye |
Similar to the Wildcard, the Group Stage features a double elimination format, with all matches set in best-of-three. The top four teams from each group punch their ticket to the final phase.
Finally, the Knockout Stage adopts a single elimination format. Quarterfinals, semifinals, and the third-place match are all best-of-five, leading up to a best-of-seven grand final to crown the MSC 2025 champion.
