2024 MSC Schedule: Format, Teams, Groups and How to Watch
One of the biggest competitions in the world for the competitive scene of the game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, apart from EWC 2024, namely the MSC or Mid Season Cup 2024 will soon be held with a fantastic prize pool.
Those who win this competition have the right to take home US$3 million. Initially, MSC had the name MLBB South East Asia Cup, however, with the joining of other regions, Moonton decided to change its name.
Interestingly, MSC 2024 will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the same stage used by the EWC or Esports World Cup 2024.
Not without reason, this is because these two competitions are integrated, because MLBB is one of the sports being contested at EWC 2024. Therefore, many people are looking for the MSC 2024 schedule, along with the competition format.
