Witness the legends rise again
The Legendary Team APAC Grand Finals will bring together former MLBB professional players who will compete for a USD 52,500 prize pool. Each of the six nations will be represented by Legendary teams, formed by high-profile ex-professionals. Excitingly, old school MLBB esports fans will be able to witness the reunion of IDONOTSLEEP, the inaugural champions of the Mobile Legends: Southeast Asia Cup (since rebranded to the MLBB Mid Season Cup).
Grassroots teams rise up
Spanning six nations, the Grassroots Team APAC Grand Finals marks MLBB’s largest-ever grassroots tournament. The local qualifiers saw close to 300 grassroots teams from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, and Cambodia, compete at OPPO retail stores for a chance to emerge as local champions to represent their nations. Showcasing the prowess of grassroots gaming talent, these champion grassroots teams will battle for the title and the lion’s share of the USD 24,000 prize pool. Separate awards will be presented for both Legendary and Grassroots teams, celebrating excellence at every level!
