Mobile Legends Sets 2025 Women's Esports World Cup

• The MLBB Women's Invitational makes its comeback in July 2025.
• Sixteen teams will compete between July 15th and 19th.
• Can Smart Omega Empress successfully defend their title?

After one of the most astonishing conclusions in the entire 2024 Esports World Cup, the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women's Invitational (MWI) is officially set to return to Riyadh in July 2025. Last year's event witnessed Smart Omega Empress achieve a historic upset, defeating the long-dominant Team Vitality in the Grand Final and ending their three-year, 24-tournament winning streak.

The stakes are now even higher, with 16 of the world's top all-women MLBB teams competing for glory and a record-breaking prize pool. Scheduled from July 15th to 19th, MWI 2025 will begin with a double-elimination Group Stage that includes all 16 qualified teams.

The top eight teams will then progress to a single-elimination playoff bracket, where the remaining squads will battle for a share of the $550,000 prize pool, in addition to a $10,000 MVP bonus for the tournament's most outstanding player.

This year's qualifier structure is more extensive than ever, attracting the best talent from nearly every region. To date, several strong contenders have already secured their spots, including DreamMax from the MWI 2025 LATAM Qualifiers, CFU Serendipity from Queen Legends Season 1, NAVI MY from the MYSG Qualifier, and Falcons Vega MENA from the Carry1st Africa Cup.

Additional slots will be filled through ongoing regional competitions like BOG Season 1, Athena League, and Lady MVP Season 6, with more qualifiers from China, North America, the Mekong region, Mongolia, and Türkiye concluding in the coming weeks.

The return of MWI is part of the larger Esports World Cup 2025, an event that brings together leading clubs across multiple games to compete in a unique cross-game format. Smart Omega Empress will be back as the defending champions, but with elite challengers from around the world entering the fray, their victory is far from guaranteed.
