From casual matches with friends to intense professional tournaments, MLBB has carved out a significant space in our country’s gaming landscape. Today, we’re going to dive into the exciting world of MLBB esports in Bangladesh – how it started, where it is now, and the amazing opportunities it holds for everyone involved.

The Beginning: How MLBB Esports Took Root
MLBB first gained popularity in Bangladesh as a fun, accessible mobile game. Its quick 5v5 matches and diverse hero roster made it perfect for playing with friends. As more players joined, the natural competitive spirit led to local gatherings and informal tournaments.
Soon, this casual fun started evolving into something more organized. Players saw international MLBB tournaments and dreamed of representing Bangladesh on a bigger stage. This passion laid the foundation for a formal esports scene.
Major Local Tournaments: The Battlegrounds of Bangladeshi Glory
Over the past few years, Bangladesh has seen a significant increase in well-organized MLBB tournaments, providing platforms for our talented players to shine.
- Mobile Legends Bangladesh Championship (MBC): This is perhaps the most recognized and official national-level tournament for MLBB in Bangladesh. Organized directly by Moonton (the creators of MLBB) or with their strong support, MBC serves as a crucial pathway for Bangladeshi teams to reach international stages like the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) or even the M World Championship. The MBC Fall 2023saw Oriental Phoenix emerge as champions, showcasing incredible skill and teamwork.
- D1 Mobile Mania & D1 Cup: Organized by Discovery One, these have become some of the “country’s biggest” mobile esports tournaments. Events like D1 Mobile Mania 2024 and D1 Cup Season 2 featured large prize pools and attracted thousands of players and hundreds of teams across multiple mobile game titles, including MLBB. Kral’s Council notably won the MLBB section of D1 Cup Season 2, and Team SGC Kingsmen topped MLBB in Mobile Mania 2024. These tournaments provide vital competitive experience and exposure.
- MLBB Champion Battles: Another series of tournaments like MLBB Champion Battles Season 3 – Bangladesh Qualifier also provides competitive platforms, demonstrating ongoing engagement from organizers and players.
These tournaments are not just about winning; they’re about building a robust competitive ecosystem and showcasing the immense talent present in Bangladesh.
