It’s the Mid Season Cup’s first foray into Europe and it’s a tournament you won’t want to miss.
The stage is set in Paris, France, as MSC 2026 brings 16 of the greatest MLBB teams from around the world to battle for pride and glory. Starting July 22, the Lenovo Legion Gauntlet Arena will host some of the most intense MLBB competition of the year where only one team will walk away as Europe’s first MSC champion.
Starting with the Group Stage, the 16 teams will be split into two groups. There they will play in a best-of-three, double elimination bracket where only four teams from each group will move on.
Things will heat up in the Knockout Stage as it’ll be played in a single elimination bracket. Teams that went 2-0 in the Group Stage get to pick their opponents, but that’s the only advantage they get.
It’s best-of-five matches all the way until the grand finals where it’s a best-of-seven. There can be no room for mistakes as teams only have one shot for the MSC 2026 trophy.
