Team Liquid Win The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup at the 2025 Esports World Cup in a Thrilling Best-of-Seven Domination

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (August 2, 2025) Team Liquid have won the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup at 2025 Esports World Cup title with a dominant 4-1 victory. They took down SELANGOR RED GIANTS OG ESPORTS in a thrilling best-of-seven.

Team Liquid will take home $1,000,000 for their victory, claiming the lion’s share of the $3,000,000 prize pool. The Filipino team went unbeaten in the tournament, dropping just two games prior to the grand final.

The grand final started with some difficulty for Team Liquid as it was a one-sided match in favour of SELANGOR RED GIANTS OG ESPORTS. However, it proved to be just a minor setback for Team Liquid, as the Filipino squad struck back even harder in the following games, steadily gaining momentum, and winning four matches in a row. With so much to play for in the final game, Team Liquid could have folded under the pressure of it all, but instead, they doubled down and dominated.

SELANGOR RED GIANTS OG ESPORTS had a solid run during the tournament, having to battle through the lower bracket semifinals in the group stage. Two 3-2 victories in the knockout stage set them up for the grand final. The defending Mid Season Cup champions were unable to keep their great run going, however, as Team Liquid were too strong for them in the grand final.

“I honestly can’t fathom how I feel right now,” said Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno. “I am insanely happy, the feeling is so much different from other tournaments I have won.”

Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya was named the SONY MVP following the impressive comeback win in the final. He will receive an additional $10,000 and the MVP medal to recognise his achievements.

“I owe it to my teammates,” said Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya. “I have grown into a strong fighter, so thank you so much.”

Team Liquid earn 1000 Club Championship points for their victory, which secures their spot at the top of the Club Championship standings. With the Club’s second Championship win in two days, they now sit on 3200 Club Championship points, with second-place Team Falcons on 2700. Having had 12 unique title winners in the first 12 events of the EWC 25, Team Liquid managed to claim a second title in back-to-back days to end that incredible streak.
