Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is celebrating its ninth anniversary with a special event, 9th to Meet You, offering exclusive hero skins and rewards.

A dedicated hub for the event, called Anniversary Venue, will be introduced, where players will be able to find all related information.

In order to earn rewards, players simply need to play matches and complete missions to secure Anniversary Points and Energy. The hub will feature various sections offering a range of rewards, with the final one being Fanny’s brand-new Epic girl group skin.

Starting on October 17th, the next major reward up for grabs will be Lolita’s new superfan skin, which can be claimed by completing a limited-time event. As players complete the puzzle, they will also earn additional anniversary rewards.

Moonton will also add a permanent reward system called Stardust Vault, where fans will be able to exchange unclaimed progress with Stardust Crystals that they can use to purchase in-game skins. 

“As MLBB enters its next decade, it remains committed to innovation and cultural relevance, while staying true to the community of players who made nine years of unforgettable battles possible,” the publisher shared in a press release.

A Record-Breaking Year for MLBB Esports

Ever since Mobile Legends: Bang Bang was released, the game has seen tremendous growth with every passing year, particularly in Southeast Asia. In esports, specifically, the mobile MOBA title has established its dominance against giants such as League of Legends and Dota 2.

According to Esports Charts, in 2025 alone, MLBB achieved the highest peak esports viewership of 4.1m in the second quarter. League of Legends was the second most popular esports title, reaching roughly half that figure at 1.9m.

The Mid Season Cup 2025 also surpassed a peak viewership count of 3m during the Esports World Cup, accumulating over 50m watch hours worldwide.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
