Exploring MSC 2024

MSC 2024 serves as the mid-season gaming championship for the highly popular Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, organized by Moonton Games. As a prominent event within the Esports World Cup, it runs alongside other significant esports contests worldwide.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang showcases user-friendly heroes such as Saber, Change, and Silvanna, captured in the ONE Esports guide.

This current tournament stands out with its unprecedented prize pool of US$3,000,000. Furthermore, it hosts 16 elite MLBB teams from around the world, all competing for the prestigious title.

In the previous edition, MSC 2023, ONIC Esports claimed victory, defeating Filipino team Blacklist International in the grand final with a 4-2 score.

MSC 2024 Format

The Wild Card stage of MSC 2024 consists of eight teams contending in a best-of-one, single-round-robin format. The leading team of this stage graduates to the second phase, where they engage in a best-of-five (BO5) match. The victor of this phase secures their position in the MSC 2024 Group Stage, while the seven remaining teams exit the competition.

Within the Group Stage, the strongest 16 teams, accompanied by the Wild Card winner, are divided into four groups. These groups battle in a single round-robin, best-of-two match format. Consequently, the top two teams from each group proceed to the Knockout Stage, while the other two teams from each group are eliminated.

During the Knockout Stage, the foremost team from each group faces off against the top two teams from all other groups. This single-elimination stage features a best-of-five format. Ultimately, the grand final culminates in a best-of-seven series, determining the MSC 2024 champion.
