More excitement is building up in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) scene as they expand to other regions for this year’s Mid-Season Cup (MSC).

Formerly known as the Mobile Legends: Southeast Asia Cup, MSC 2024 was rebranded into the Mid-Season Cup as the competition will now feature teams from regions outside of Southeast Asia.

The MSC will run from 28 June to 14 July 2024 and will be set in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Among the plans unveiled are the introduction of a Wild Card stage and a whopping US$3,000,000 prize pool, wherein the tournament winner will be taking home US$1,000,000, one-third of the entire prize pool.
