Esports World Cup news & tips
Mobile Legends Mid-Season Cup EWC betting
Outside of the Esports World Cup, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has become a fixture of year-round esports betting. With regional pro leagues (such as MPL ID, MPL PH, MPL MY) and international events (MSC, M-Series World Championship), bettors are spoilt for choice.
Here are the key competitions bettors should track:
Major MLBB tournaments:
- Mid-Season Cup (MSC) – Part of the EWC 2025; mid-year showdown featuring top regional teams.
- M World Championship (M6) – Year-end global final that crowns the best MLBB team in the world.
- Mobile Legends Professional Leagues (MPL) – Domestic leagues across Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, and more.
MLBB betting markets:
- Match Winner – Who wins an entire match
- Map Winner – Who wins a map
- Totals – Whether a score (total kills, playing time, dragon kills, etc.) goes over or under a given number.
- Outrights – Who you think will win the entire MLBB event.
- First Blood – Which team or player will score first blood.
- MVP – Which player will claim the MVP award for the match.
- First Tower Destroyer – Which team will destroy the first tower.
- First Lord Kill – Which team will be the first to take down the map boss.
Because MLBB is inherently fast-paced, matches often last less than 20 minutes — leading to momentum swings and plenty of comeback potential. Bettors who closely follow hero meta changes, patch updates, and player performance trends are best positioned to profit.
For instance, betting lines may shift drastically based on draft picks, particularly for clutch heroes like Ling, Lancelot, or Valentina — often game-changers in pro play.
