MSC 2023 will go global with the inclusion of teams from North America (NA), the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Turkey, Mobile Legends developer Moonton announced on Facebook.
According to Moonton, the addition of the three new regions to the upcoming Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) 2023 is "to enhance the tournament format and increase competitor diversity, given how mature the competition is in Southeast Asia."
MSC 2023 will now feature a total of 12 teams from the following regions: Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Mekong region (Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand), North America, the Middle East and North Africa, and Turkey.
With regard to slot allocations, both the Philippines and Indonesia will get two slots each, while other regions will have one slot apiece:
- MPL Indonesia Season 11- Champion and Runner-up
- MPL Philippines Season 11 - Champion and Runner-up
- Mekong Qualifier - Champion
- MPL Cambodia Spring 2023 - Champion
- MPL Malaysia Season 11- Champion
- MPL MENA Spring 2023 - Champion
- MPL Singapore Season 5 - Champion
- Myanmar Qualifier - Champion
- North America Challenger Tournament (NACT) - Champion
- MLBB Turkey Championship - Champion
MSC 2023 will run from June 10 to 18, with Group Stage taking place between June 10 to 13, Knockout Stage from June 15 to 17, and Grand Finals on June 18.
This is the first time that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang's largest mid-season cup will expand outside Southeast Asia since its beginning in 2017.
To recall, MSC 2022 was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. RSG Philippines beat RRQ Hoshi from Indonesia to win the tournament.
