The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Continental Championship (MCC) returns tomorrow, September 13, for its sixth season—ushering in what many are calling the most competitive era yet for the Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) region. With a $40,000 prize pool and direct qualification spots for the M7 World Championship in Jakarta, MCC Season 6 is shaping up to be the region’s most pivotal moment in MLBB Esports.
EECA: From Underdogs to Contenders
Over the past two years, EECA has cemented itself as one of MLBB Esports’ most promising emerging regions. The breakthrough came in 2024, when Team Spirit shocked the global stage with a top-four finish at M5 in Manila. Their success not only put EECA on the map but also inspired a wave of competitive growth across the region.
That momentum carried into 2025, with Team Spirit and Virtus.pro making waves at the Mid Season Cup (MSC) during the Esports World Cup. Virtus.pro’s Cinderella run—from MCC Season 5 Closed Qualifiers to winning the MSC Wild Card—proved that EECA teams are more than capable of taking down the world’s best.
What’s at Stake in Season 6
MCC Season 6 brings together eight of EECA’s strongest squads:
- CyberHero
- Sibe Team
- Forze Esports
- Team Spirit
- Inverto
- Verso Time
- OMBRA Esports
- Virtus.pro
At stake are more than bragging rights. The Season 6 champion will qualify directly for the M7 Main Stage, while the runner-up will fight for survival in the M7 Wild Card. For the first time, MCC representatives will head to Indonesia—considered the heartland of MLBB Esports—where M7 is set to be the biggest and most prestigious edition of the World Championship yet.
Key Innovations: Brave Draft and BO3 Format
MCC continues to lead innovation in competitive MLBB with the Brave Draft, a unique global ban system preventing teams from picking the same hero twice in a series. Introduced last season, this system has pushed players to expand their hero pools and adapt to diverse strategies, raising the competitive ceiling across EECA.
The Best-of-Three (BO3) Regular Season format also returns, ensuring that only the most consistent and adaptable teams rise to the top. According to Wesley Liu, EECA Esports Market Lead at MOONTON Games, these innovations have been critical to the region’s rapid rise:
“Virtus.pro’s MSC Wild Card victory is proof of how systems like the Brave Draft have sharpened our teams’ gameplay. MCC Season 6 will only push that bar higher as our players continue to refine their strategies.”
Season Schedule and Format
The Regular Season kicks off September 13 and will run across seven weekends. The top two teams will secure direct Playoff spots, while the other six battle through the Play-Ins on November 1–2. The season will culminate in the Playoffs from November 14–16, where the champion and runner-up will be crowned—and EECA’s representatives for M7 officially locked in.
EECA on the Road to M7 Jakarta
With M7 returning to Jakarta, Indonesia, the birthplace of MLBB Esports, MCC’s top contenders are stepping onto their biggest stage yet. For EECA, it’s not just about proving themselves—it’s about showing they belong among the MLBB elite.
As Wesley Liu put it:
“EECA has grown into one of the most competitive MLBB regions. Season 6 is a chance for our teams to showcase that strength at home and, ultimately, in Indonesia. I believe our teams have what it takes to establish themselves as title contenders on the world stage.”
With powerhouse squads like Team Spirit chasing a sixth league title and Virtus.pro riding international momentum, MCC Season 6 promises nail-biting clashes that could redefine EECA’s place in MLBB Esports history.
