Road to MSC and MWI at EWC 25 begins with MSC Pass

The Mid Season Cup (MSC) Pass is back! Fans can soon enjoy a host of exclusive in-game rewards while experiencing the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) tournaments at the 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC). At the heart of this year’s MSC Pass is Natan’s first-ever tournament skin, the “Archon of Knowledge”. A hero that rewards precise positioning and calculated execution, Natan embodies tournament-level play.

EWC returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this month as the world’s biggest multi-title esports event after its global debut last year. MLBB will feature via the MSC and MLBB Women’s Invitational (MWI) at EWC 25, under the banner of One Game, Two Champions.

Wield the Power of the Archon With The 2025 MSC Pass
The MSC Pass is a premium in-game feature that rewards players for consistent play and engagement. By completing daily missions, match tasks, and event milestones, players will unlock new tiers of exciting digital collectibles such as frames and emotes. They will also earn MSC coins, which can be exchanged in the Shop for exclusive in-game items.

The MSC Pass’ centerpiece, Natan’s “Archon of Knowledge” skin, will be immediately unlocked upon purchase of the pass. The pass also heralds the return of Atlas’ “Rune Sentinel” skin from MSC 2023, which can be obtained from MSC Support Chests earned via the pass. The MSC Pass also features interactive elements like Champion Guess, where players predict match winners.

The MSC Pass will be available for purchase from 18 July to 7 August for 719 in-game Diamonds (the game’s premium in-game currency). Pre-registeration for the pass began from 7 July, where players can earn two MSC Banners of Morale, which can be used to earn additional MSC coins.
