Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) has introduced an in-game pass in support of the esports scene’s 2025 Mid-Season Cup (MSC).
The MSC 2025 Pass allows fans to earn a range of exclusive rewards, including in-game skins.
The 2025 MSC Pass contains the Archon of Knowledge skin for Natan, marking the first time the hero has received a tournament skin. Players can purchase the pass from July 18th until August 7th for 719 Diamonds, MLBB’s in-game currency.
Players who pre-purchase the pass can obtain skins in addition to two themed banners, which can be exchanged for additional MSC coins. The pass also includes items that featured in 2023. The Atlas Rune Sentinel skin from 2023’s MSC is also available.
Alongside a variety of cosmetic items, the pass features interactive elements, including Champion Guess, an initiative that allows fans to predict the winners of MSC and MLBB Women’s Invitational (MWI) matches.
The Mid-Season Cup and the Women’s Invitational take place as part of the Esports World Cup, a multi-title event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. MSC will see teams from across the world competing for a $3m (~£2.2m) prize pool. Meanwhile, MWI features 16 teams battling it out for $500,000 (~£368,877).
Mobile Legends’ Continued Growth
Mobile Legends has continued to cement itself as one of the largest mobile esports titles in the world, thanks to its popularity within Asia. In June, the title was one of the world’s most-watched esports, with MPL Indonesia Season 15 featuring in four of the five matches.
The Women’s Invitational has also attracted plenty of interest from several esports organisations. In May, MOONTON Games expanded the number of teams competing at the event to 16. As a result of the expansion, NAVI is fielding two rosters with the aim of earning points towards the Esports World Cup Club Championship.
