As one of the most popular mobile gaming and eSports titles in Southeast Asia and in various international markets, Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) has recently reached one billion downloads on iOS and Android mobile devices as of November 2020. In the said month, MOONTON also announced that more than 9.77 billion matches have been played and 9.8 million players have reached the rank of Mythic. The growth of the game has been exponential in the past year and it is expected that the M2 World Championship is slated to reach 400 million views through various broadcast channels.
All participating players must abide by the Singaporean government's requirements on COVID-19 prevention and control as well as prevailing public health and safety regulations. MOONTON has worked with industry experts to design operational plans that adhere to the Safety Management Standards (SMM) required by the local authorities. A safety protocol handbook will also be distributed digitally during pre-arrival and in hard copy upon arrival to the participating players detailing what needs to be done from leaving their home countries, arriving in Singapore and eventually landing back home.
For millions of MLBB fans around the world anticipating for the tournament, MOONTON is dedicating the entire month of January 2021 as a celebration of MLBB eSports. Fans can participate in the M2 experience throughout the said month with an M2-themed game client and a series of promotional activities on the horizon, including an M2-themed skin.
