Mark your calendars! Action-packed, in-person MLBB esports is returning to Malaysia with the Snapdragon Pro Series Mobile Challenge Finals.
Malaysia will host the Snapdragon Mobile Challenge Finals – Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) for the Season 6 finale from February 14 and 16, 2025.
The LAN event will bring the region’s best teams to Johor Bahru, where they will compete not only for the trophy and bragging rights but also for the lion’s share of the USD $150,000 prize pool. However, the journey to this top step is a formidable one.
The region’s proceedings for Season 6 began with the Mobile Open Qualifiers in early September. Successful teams advanced to the next stage, the Mobile Open Finals, where they battled top-ranking competitors for coveted slots in the Mobile Challenge Season.

In this crucial phase, 16 teams will compete in early January 2025, with only six advancing to the Mobile Challenge Finals. These qualifiers will join six invited teams: Falcons AP.Bren, Falcon Esports, Fnatic ONIC, NIP Flash, See You Soon, and Selangor Red Giants.
The Mobile Challenge Finals will unfold in two phases: the Group Stage and the Playoffs. During the Group Stage, the 12 participating teams will be divided into two groups of six. They will compete in round-robin, best-of-three matches, with the top three teams from each group advancing to the Playoffs.
In the Playoffs, the remaining six teams will face off in a hybrid elimination bracket. Matches will follow a best-of-three format, except for the Grand Final, which will be a best-of-seven. The last team standing will be crowned regional champions for Season 6.
All eyes will be on Falcons AP.Bren as they aim to defend their title after a miraculous tournament-winning run in Season 5. Meanwhile, homegrown talent, Selangor Red Giants, will look to ride the momentum of their historic triumph in MPL Malaysia Season 14 to overcome the Philippines-based outfit.
This event marks the return of the Snapdragon Pro Series, the world’s largest multi-title mobile esports ecosystem, to Malaysia after a momentous Season 5 for MLBB, which saw the Asia-Pacific Mobile Challenge Finals in Kuala Lumpur attract over 65,000 in-person visitors and 888,710 peak concurrent viewers online.
Tickets for the Challenge Finals Playoffs at Persada Johor International Convention Centre will go on sale on December 10. Prices start at just RM5 for a one-day ticket, while an all-inclusive three-day ticket costs RM50. You can purchase your tickets from the event store.
The action will also be streamed live on the ESL MLBB, ESL Mobile, ESL Asia, ESL Indonesia, or ESL Malaysia channels
