Concurrent viewership records were broken at the MLBB finals at the 31st SEA Games

Esports was added to the Southeast Asian Games on the 30th SEA Games held in Manila, Philippines. At that time also, Team Philippines brought the gold medal and the finals had a peak viewership of 200K+.

But with the rising popularity of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang in the region, this year’s finals broke all past records. According to Esports Charts, the gold medal match between SIBOL MLBB and Team Indonesia reached 2.2 million peak concurrent views. It is 10 times the peak concurrent views of the 30th SEA Games. The average viewership of the entire tournament was around 600K+.

This goes on to showcase the high popularity of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang in the Southeast Asian region. Although League of Legends: Wild Rift has started its Wild Rift Champions SEA (WCS) regional league here, it is still quite behind the number one spot occupied by MLBB.
