Get free betting picks and expert insights for all four upper-bracket quarterfinals in the 2025 Mid-Season Cup this Thursday.

After a turbulent Day 1 at the Mid‑Season Cup (MSC) saw Group A heavyweights Team Liquid PH and ONIC ID flex their muscle, Thursday shifts the spotlight to Group B.
Four best‑of‑three upper‑bracket quarterfinals will run back‑to‑back on the secondary stage at the 2025 Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, beginning at noon local time.
It should be a cracking day of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang action, and below are ESB’s top betting picks for July 24, 2025.
Best Odds: HomeBois -107.53 at BetOnline | Team Flash -120.48 at SportsBetting
When: July 24, 2025 | 12:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch
MPL‑MY runners‑up HomeBois love snowball drafts built around Arlott or Lu Bu, posting a +2.8k average gold lead at 15 minutes in domestic play. Singaporean outfit Team Flash lean on veteran roamer Akihiro “JPL” Furusawa to create early picks for assassin jungler Jaymark “Hadess” Lazaro, but they surrendered first turtle in 54% of their qualifier maps.
Flash’s best route is a double‑mage poke draft (Yve–Valentina) to stall until Beatrix comes online; if they give HomeBois comfort side‑lane fighters, the Malaysians should close fast at a nice price with top esports betting sites.
Best Odds: RRQ -1666.67 at BetOnline | Area77 +700 at BetOnline
When: July 24, 2025 | 14:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch
Indonesian giants RRQ finished second in MPL‑ID S15 and still boast the event’s fastest average lord take (12 : 29) behind Muhammad “Toyy” Rizky. North‑American hopefuls Area 77 ride mid‑laner “HUNTER” and his burst mages but arrive with a ‑1.1 k average gold deficit at 10 minutes.
Unless A77 land early Chou and Khufra engages to break RRQ’s Yve‑Claude macro, expect the Indonesians to strangle objectives.
Best Odds: ONIC PH -5000 at SportsBetting | Aurora +1070 at BetOnline
When: July 23, 2025 | 12:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch
ONIC PH retained the 2024 world‑title core and still tops global MLBB rankings thanks to gold‑laner Frince “Super Frince” Miguel Ramirez’s late‑game carry play. Turkish champions Aurora rely on mid‑laner Ahmet “Roa” Batir’s playmaking Kadita and Valentina, but they yielded first lord in 68 % of qualifier games.
If Aurora land early Franco hooks, they can pinch a map; otherwise, ONIC’s pristine rotation should convert.
Best Odds: Team Spirit -434.78 at BetOnline | DFYG +302 at BetOnline
When: July 23, 2025 | 14:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch
Russian roster Team Spirit swept three CIS invitationals with roam‑centric Khufra and Minotaur engages, averaging +1.5k gold at 10 minutes. Chinese side DFYG crushed their regional qualifier behind double‑fighter drafts and gold‑laner Tang “Loong” Zelong’s 6.2 KDA Wanwan.
Draft priority on Zhuxin and Wanwan will decide this coin flip; expect this clash to go the distance.
