MLBB Southeast Asia Cup 2019 (MSC 2019) was the third season of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang annual SEA tournament MSC. It was held at Smart Araneta Coliseum with a total prize pool of US$120,000 from June 19–23, 2019.[1] The event was hosted by Eruption,[2] Faraz Shababi, Fiera Fendi, and Serahline.

Background

Previous MSC events were hosted at Jakarta, Indonesia with total prize pools of US$100,000. Philippines was the venue after two Filipino teams won 1st and 2nd place at MSC 2018.[3] 12 teams were invited from 9 Southeast Asian countries namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Format

A total of 12 teams were invited, 2 teams each from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional Leagues (MPL) from Indonesia, Malaysia/Singapore, Myanmar, and the Philippines. One team each for Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam were invited through local qualifiers. The tournaments start with a group stage where teams are selected through best of 3 round round robin. Teams winning the best of 3 get to the upper bracket. The other two teams compete on play-ins where the winning team gets to the lower bracket and the losing team is eliminated. After the group stage is the tournament proper. Losing teams from the upper bracket are demoted to the lower bracket while losing teams from the lower bracket are eliminated. One finalist will come from each bracket and compete in the Grand Finals.[4][5][6]
