Mobile Legends renames Southeast Asia Cup Mid Season Cup
Moonton Games shakes up the eSports scene as it rebrands its Mobile Legends Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) to the MLBB Mid Season Cup.
This move aligns with the company’s initiative, “Esports for Everyone,” expanding the tournament to include teams from North America, MENA, and Turkey. The 2023 MSC marks the beginning of this inclusive approach, breaking away from its previous focus solely on Southeast Asian regions.
