The MLBB World Championship is the most prestigious Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tournament in the world.

The best MPL and non-MPL teams converge in this tournament every year to determine who’s the best MLBB team.

First held in 2019, only two regions have won the championship so far, namely, Indonesia and the Philippines. Here are three of the teams that have made their mark in Mobile Legends’ biggest tournament.
