MSC is an international eSports tournament organized for professional Mobile Legends: Bang Bang teams in Southeast Asia as well as several other additional regions. This tournament was held officially by Moonton as the developer of this game.

From its work that has been carried out over the past few years, this competition is one of the biggest eSports tournaments in the region. This saw the high popularity of Mobile Legends in the archipelago and surrounding countries.

Only the best teams from various countries can get tickets here. These countries include Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, the Mekong Peninsula, as well as other regional contestants: Turkey, North America, the Middle East and North Africa.

They are the winners and runners-up of the MPL competition in their respective regions. Indonesia for example, represented by ONIC Esports as the winner of MPL ID Season 11, and EVOS Legends as the runner-up. Together with teams from other countries, they will compete for the greatest title in the SEA region and the world.

This year's MSC system is still the same as in previous years. There are no significant changes, apart from the composition of the national representative teams that will compete later. In order to understand these details, VCGamers provides the following discussion:

Competing team

There are 12 teams that will compete for strength. Especially for Indonesia and the Philippines, each country gets two teams.

As for other countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Myanmar, Turkey, the Mekong Region (Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Brunei), MENA (Middle East and North Africa), and NACT (North America), each is only permitted to send 1 rep.

MSC Competition Format

Like most sports competitions, the tournament format will be applied to MSC. Later there will be two rounds: 'Group' as the initial phase of the team's match, and 'Playoff' which will compete against the best teams from the previous round.

Until this article was written, there was no further information regarding the standings scheme for this event. Of course, all of this cannot be separated from the fact that there are still many premier league competitions and regional matches that have not been completed and are still looking for champions.
