The 2026 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup was the ninth iteration for the multiplayer online battle arena game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and the third edition under the name "Mid Season Cup".

The ninth iteration was the third-consecutive edition to be a part of the internationally sanctioned Esports World Cup tournament as one of its main esports titles. Moreover, it is the first edition of the tournament to be held in Europe, specifically Paris, France, as the Esports World Cup moved from Riyadh due to the war in Iran.[1]

Defending champions Team Liquid PH failed to defend their title after an early group stage exit. In the Grand Finals, EECA's Team Spirit defeated Myanmar's Yangon Galacticos, 4-3 to win the title, becoming the first western team to do so in MLBB history. The team's EXP Laner, Mathaios "Kid Bomba" Chatzilakos, was named Finals MVP.[2]

Format

MSC 2026 featured 25 teams, an increase from 23 in the previous edition however, participating teams in the respective stages have largely remained the same – 16 teams participating in groups and 10 teams participating in the wild card, an increase from 8 in 2025.[3]

Wild card stage

Similarly to the previous edition, the wildcard stage occurred first before the group stage. All ten wild card teams were split into two groups of five where each played a single-round robin Best-of-1 tournament. The top seeded teams from both groups advanced directly to the Wild Card Stage Decider Bracket. Meanwhile, teams seeded two would receive a bye-round in the Cross Group Gauntlet while seeds three and four would qualify for the Cross Group Gauntlet's first round. The Cross Gauntlet is a single-elimination bracket with only two teams advancing to the decider. Only one team from the Decider Bracket advances to the group stage.[4]

If two or more teams finished with the same points, the standings are determined in accordance with the Official Rulebook's tiebreaker. The official MSC tiebreaker is as follows: [5]

  • If the ranking of the tied teams cannot be determined by ranking points, the tied teams will be ranked by head-to-head record.
  • If the ranking of the tied teams cannot be determined by head-to-head record, the tied teams will be ranked by winning time (only the time of winning games)—the less time the team used, the higher ranking the team is.
  • If the ranking of the tied teams cannot be determined by winning time (only the time of winning games), the tied teams will be ranked by the shortest single-game winning time, the less time the team used, the higher rank the team is.
  • If the shortest single-game winning time (only the time of winning games) are still the same, then the longest single-game winning time will be compared. The less time the team used, the higher rank the team is.
  • All match time data is based on the in-game results screen.[6]

Group stage

The group stage followed thereafter. Unlike MSC 2025 where teams were subdivided into four different double-elimination GSL formats for the group stage,[7] MSC 2026 featured two group stage double-elimination brackets. The group stage draw was conducted after the conclusion of the wild card stage with the main stipulation being that no two-teams from the same region is allowed to get drawn in the same match as the other, eliminating the possibility of a same-group elimination for a single region but rather the potential two-way elimination by a single region for both Groups A and B (e.g., Philippines has a team in Group A and Group B and both of them gets eliminated, hence a two-way elimination for a single region.)[8] Similarly to the rulebook, the MSC tiebreaker was followed for this tournament as announced by the reporters during the first day of the livestream.[9]

Knockout stage

The precipice of the tournament is the single-elimination knockout stage which was introduced during the 2024 edition of the tournament. All games apart from the Grand Finals are Best-of-5s while the Grand Finals was a Best-of-7. Similar to the 2025 edition, the battle-for-third also returned.[8]

Venue

Originally planned to be hosted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on May 20, it was announced that the EWC will be moving its tournament for the first time since inception from Riyadh to Paris due to the "current regional situation".[10] With this move, both MWI and MSC 2026 became the first tournament in the competitive year to be hosted in a venue outside of Asia and a major tournament sanctioned by Moonton to be hosted outside of the Asian continent. Both MWI and MSC 2026 will be hosted at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in Versailles, Paris, France.

Qualified teams

Fifteen teams qualified outright for the group stage with teams from the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional Leagues of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia having two direct qualifiers to the group stage,[11] and one qualifiers each – all of which are champions – from the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional Leagues of Cambodia, Singapore, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the MTC Championship in Turkey, the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Continental Championship (MCC) champion from the Commonwealth of Independent States or the EECA, and the inaugural tournaments of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Championship Tour for East Asia in Shanghai and the Americas, and the inaugural Moba Legends Masters Series in India.[12]

Ten teams across the newly established Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Championship Tour groups will qualify for wild cards with two representatives coming from the SEA region – primarily from Thailand and Mekong – three from the EMEA region – particularly from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Turkey, and Europe – one from the EECA region – particularly the runner-up of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Continental Championship (MCC) – three from the EA region – particularly second through fourth place of the first leg of the Shanghai Tour – and the runner-up from the AMER region.[13][14]

Several changes from the previous season includes the following:[15]

  • MCT East Asia will be given one main stage slot and three wild card slots, replacing the four combined slots held by national qualifiers in China, Japan, and Mongolia.
  • MCT Americas will be given one main stage slot and one wild card slot, replacing the three combined slots held by the North America Challenger Tournament (NACT) and MPL Latin America. This also means that the Americas region has one less slot.
  • The MLMS is given one main stage slot.
  • MSL Thailand is given one wild card slot. Thai teams can still qualify via MCC Mekong as an alternate pathway.
  • The MEC is given one wild card slot.
  • The Vietnam MLBB Championship (VMC) no longer has a slot, but remains a qualifier for MCC Mekong, retaining the pathway for Vietnamese teams.

Group Stage

The group stage for MSC 2026 is held from July 22 to July 26, 2026 at the Lenovo Legion Gauntlet Arena. With the conclusion of the wildcard stage, the group draws for both MWI and MSC were done after the tournament headed by casters and hosts Mohammad "Laphel" Mohammad Kamal, Rachel Melati "Aeterna" Nalapraya, and Frederick "Mirko" Handy Loho, who did the group draw for both MWI and MSC.[23]

A consolidated, two-group, double-elimination GSL format will be observed for MSC 2026 where two groups from the upper bracket and two groups from the lower bracket will qualify for the knockout stage. All matches will be played in a Best-of-3 setting. No teams from the same region can be grouped in the same bracket.[8]

The 2026 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's International (stylized and referred to as MWI 2026) was the fifth iteration of the tournament formerly known as the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's Invitational for the multiplayer online battle arena game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. It is the female edition of the world championship which was held from the 14th to the 18th of July.[24]

It was the third iteration of the tournament under the umbrella of the Esports World Cup in Paris, France. Alongside its male counterpart for MSC 2026, MWI 2026 was held first and making it the only game discipline to have two tournaments under the EWC Tournament.[25]

Defending champions Team Vitality won their title defense, defeating 2024 MWI Champions Natus Vincere PH in six games.[26]

Qualification

Defending champions Team Vitality were invited to the tournament as the dominant team from Indonesia. The team – formerly known as Bigetron Era – had won three out of the last four iterations of the tournament with the lone exemption of MWI 2024 when Smart Omega Empress defeated them 3-0.[27]

Otherwise, all other regions have direct qualifiers for the winners of their regional tournaments to the GSL Group Stage. A total of sixteen teams will qualify for the GSL Group Stage. As of June 10, 2026, each region has qualified one team to the tournament including: Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, Cambodia, the Middle East and Northern Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Europe-as-a-whole, Turkey, Mongolia, North America, Africa-as-a-whole, South America, Myanmar, and China. The Mekong region has yet to complete its tournament.[24]

Visa Issues

On June 29, 2026, Verso Time head coach Vladimir "Ospreay" Gonchar via Telegram announced that the team was withdrawing from the MSC 2026 Wildcard stage due to persistent Visa Issues with the roster and players. Gonchar initially appealed to both Moonton and the Esports World Cup body to let Verso Time play on an online setting while their passports and visas were processed, a move supported by Moonton. However, EWC organizers denied the request and had thus resulted in the withdrawal.[31]

According to the EWC, all matches will proceed as planned and all matches to the teams against Verso Time were wins by default, officially putting Verso Time in 25th place.[32]

Notes

  1. ↑ Officially known as Bigetron by Vitality, the team will compete as Team Vitality in MSC due to Esports World Cup Club Championship rules. Bigetron was bought out by the French organization in 2025.
  2. ↑ Team Falcons PH qualifies for the first time as the organization Team Falcons and not of a partnership based qualification like Falcons AP Bren in 2024. Denoting the "PH" on the suffix for the team due to its sister Team qualifying in another bracket.
  3. ↑ Aurora Turkiyë will compete as Aurora Gaming because they are the only team under the Aurora brand to qualify for the tournament.
  4. 1 2 Moonton uses the term "Eastern Europe and Central Asia" in place of "Commonwealth of Independent States" when referring to the region as a whole.
  5. ↑ Niightmare Esports qualified for MSC 2021 but lost in the play-in tournament. For technicality purposes and the implementation of stages for this tournament, this team's best performance is part of the group stage as Wild Card Stage play-ins were not implemented during this time.
  6. ↑ Verso Time withdrew prior to the start of the tournament as they failed to secure visas. All teams in their Wildcard group had their games against Verso Time converted into forfeit wins.
  7. ↑ Team Vitality also has their assistant coach "Kdot" as an Assistant coach.
  8. ↑ On July 19, 2026, Bigetron by Vitality announced that Theonael will not be coaching and accompanying the team for MSC due to health reasons. It is still unclear who will replace him.

  13. ↑ MSC 2024 Finals MVP for Selangor Red Giants
  14. ↑ The team also has an analyst named "Cryptic"
  15. ↑ Initially, Rodel "Ar Sy" Cruz was named coach for the team. However, on June 27, 2026, the team announced that it will not associate itself with Cruz due to a breach of contract agreement.
  16. ↑ Team Vitality qualified already for MWI via winning the prior year's tournament, so the Battle of Gamehers spot transferred to second place.
  17. ↑ Competed as Smart Omega Empress in MWI 2024.
  18. ↑ The roster consists of the MWI 2025 Finalists Gaimin Gladiators without Nicole "Nicholette" Huang and Jey "RYLAI" Enriquez who joined RRQ Shira.
