Mobile Legends: Bang Bang MSC betting picks – Friday, July 25

Four best‑of‑three matches for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup in Riyadh this Friday, with spots in the knockout stage firmly on the line.

Win and you’re one step from the playoffs; lose and you fall straight into sudden‑death lower bracket. We’re on patch 1.9.98, so expect high priority on Arlott, Lu Bu, Zhuxin and Valentina.

With finals on the horizon, Friday’s MLBB action is must-watch. Keep reading for ESB’s free betting preview for MLBB action at the Esports World Cup on July 25.

Selangor Red Giants OG vs Mythic SEAL

Best Odds: SRG.OG -769.23 at BetOnline | Mythic SEAL +453 at SportsBetting
When: July 25, 2025 | 12:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

SRG.OG’s hallmark is turning the first turtle into immediate top-tier pressure and deep jungle vision; Mythic SEAL habitually give up early towers while playing for Pyae “Kenn” Hein Ko’s late‑game spikes.

Over three maps, that tempo gap matters; SRG.OG can snowball gold leads before SEAL’s comps hit critical items. Unless SEAL win draft outright (deny Arlott/Lu Bu and pinch SRG’s roam pool), the Malaysians should sweep.

Team Liquid PH vs ONIC

Best Odds: Team Liquid -166.67 at BetOnline | ONIC +129 at BetOnline
When: July 24, 2025 | 14:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Both sides are title contenders with distinct win cons: Liquid PH dominate neutral objectives via KarlTzy and Sanji setups, while ONIC’s macro and split‑push discipline drag games long and punish every mis-rotation.

  Fast Payouts

Drafts should seesaw—ONIC targeting Sanji’s mage pool, Liquid prioritising Arlott/Lu Bu to blunt map stretch—making a clean 2‑0 either way unlikely. Expect this clash to go the distance.

Ultra Legends vs CFU Gaming

Best Odds: Ultra Legends +301 at SportsBetting | CFU Gaming -434.78 at BetOnline
When: July 25, 2025 | 16:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Ultra Legends’ assassin‑heavy look often stalls after early turtles, leading to awkward lord setups and exposed side lanes. CFU are much more process‑driven around five‑man mid‑game timings and should punish those mid‑map resets, especially with Valentina/Yve priority.

If CFU secure stable wave clear and vision, UL’s pick comps lose bite and a straight‑sets win is firmly on the table.

Virtus.pro vs CORINTHIANS

Best Odds: Virtus.pro -270.27 at BetOnline | CORINTHIANS +200 at BetOnline
When: July 25, 2025 | 18:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Virtus.pro’s hook‑and‑pick reliance makes their engage patterns predictable over multiple drafts. CORINTHIANS excel in layered team‑fight CC and crisp lord timings, which typically break those linear entries — but the Brazilians can drop an early map to CIS aggression.
