A repeat victory for MLBB

A remarkable year for MLBB Esports

The award follows an impressive year for MLBB Esports, which saw the game achieve several significant milestones.

This achievement underscored MLBBโ€™s popularity and solidified it as a leading title in mobile esports.

Additionally, MLBB events dominated the mobile esports scene throughout 2023, with eight of the most popular mobile tournaments belonging to the game. The M5 World Championship, held in December 2023, drew an impressive 5.06 million peak concurrent viewers, further cementing MLBBโ€™s status as the most-watched mobile esports game of the year.
