The much-anticipated Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC), which begins on June 7, will be powered by leading mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart).

The big competition, which was postponed last year due to the pandemic, will be the first iteration to be hosted online and will be presented in collaboration with MOONTON Games, the developer of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

Twelve teams from eight nations — the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam — will compete in the playoffs, which will culminate on June 13 in the finals. The whole prize pool is a mind-boggling $150,000.

On Smart’s official Facebook Page and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’s official social media channels, avid Filipino gamers and fans may watch the MSC Tournament live stream and cheer on their favorite teams.

Following an emphatic victory in the recently concluded MPL Season 7 Finals, Blacklist International, together with the first runner-up, Execration, will be the official representatives of our country for the stated competition.

“Our esports athletes have proven that we Filipinos have what it takes to dominate competitive esports. We are rooting for them again at the MSC, which is a huge platform to showcase their skills in the international arena and inspire more Filipinos to cultivate their passion in gaming, hone their skills, and chase their dreams with a much bigger purpose like carrying our flag,”

Jane J. Basas, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has quickly become one of the most popular mobile games in the Philippines, thanks to its intense gameplay, diverse heroes, and amazing graphics. Smart has partnered with MOONTON to provide subscribers with interesting experiences to support Filipino ML players and esports competitors. Smart also backed the Philippine National ML Team, which took gold at the 2019 SEA Games.
