The anticipation for the Asia Pacific Snapdragon Mobile Challenge Finals – Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) continues to grow the closer we get to the LAN event in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

Taking place between February 14 and February 16, 2025, fans are gearing up for a weekend primed with intense competition. The group draw results were recently announced, and they have set the stage for some incredible matchups.

A Stacked Lineup Full of the Region’s Best MLBB Teams

The Snapdragon Mobile Challenge Finals will feature 12 of the region’s biggest names in MLBB esports. Among the six invited teams is ONIC ID, an Indonesian squad that has been a dominant force since 2018 after they claimed multiple Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) titles from Season 10 to Season 13. They’ll be hoping to reclaim their form after a lackluster performance at the 2024 Mid-Season Cup at the Esports World Cup.

Falcon Esports is another heavy hitter present. This formidable Burmese team has made a name for themselves since their debut in 2021 after consistently outperforming their competitors in the Myanmar qualifiers. In the last season of the Snapdragon Pro Series, they were eliminated in the Challenge Season.

Also present is Falcons (previously Falcons AP.Bren), a decorated team from the Philippines that made history as the first organization to win two world titles and the first team to win the world championship on home soil after their winning run at the M5 World Championship in 2023.

Other elite squads invited to the competition are the local favorites Selangor Red Giants, Flash Singapore, and Cambodia’s See You Soon. Six other teams have qualified for the Snapdragon Mobile Challenge Finals via the previous stages. This includes Aurora, Bigetron Alpha, EVOS Holy, ONIC PH, RRQ Hoshi, and Team Liquid ID.

Team Liquid ID, in particular, made waves recently when they secured the MPL Indonesia title despite running the competition with a lineup of young players from the Tier-2 league of the MLBB Development League. They’ll certainly be a team to keep an eye out on.

Group Draw Sets the Stage for High-Stakes Clashes

With the tournament structure now set, the opening Group Stage of the Snapdragon Mobile Challenge Finals promises to deliver thrilling matchups. The 12 teams will be divided into two groups of six teams.

Here is an overview of each group:

Tickets Selling Fast as Fans Flock to Johor Bahru

MLBB fans are wasting no time in securing their spots at the Snapdragon Mobile Challenge Finals. The demand has been overwhelming, with Tier 1 tickets already sold out.

The Tier 2 three-day packages have also been quickly snapped up, leaving only a limited number of packages in the second wave remaining. With the venue expected to be packed, the atmosphere will no doubt feel electric. Tickets can be purchased from the event’s website.

Beyond the matches, fans attending the event will have plenty of ways to immerse themselves in the action, thanks to the various on-site activities. Attendees can get airbrush tattoos featuring their favorite MLBB characters, purchase exclusive event and team merchandise at the ESL Shop, and leave supportive messages for their favorite teams on the event’s message wall.

For those looking to test their reflexes and strength, arcade machines such as "Chivalry Fist" and "Fist Crack" will provide entertainment between matches.
