On June 30, the three-day Esports World Cup Victory Peak (MLBB) and Victory Peak Global Mid-Season Cup (MSC) Wild Card Tournament came to an end in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Group B toppers Malaysia's HomeBois defeated Group A toppers Entity7 3-1 to earn the final spot in the group stage, where they will next compete with 15 other teams for the MSC title and a $3 million prize pool.

In the wild card stage, the Chinese team KBG got off to a good start in the first round, defeating the Turkish team S2G and winning the first match of the first Esports World Cup. In the confrontation with the Vietnamese and Peruvian teams, KBG lost to their opponents and finally regretted to stop the wild card.

According to the statistics of Esports Charts, an authoritative e-sports data website of the three parties, this year's MSC Wild Card Tournament broke the record of 270,000 viewers of last year's M5 World Wild Card Tournament with a peak number of viewers of 370,000. HomeBois accounted for four of the top five games in the Wild Card Ratings, and the Malaysian team was declared the most popular team in the Wild Card Tournament in terms of average viewership.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-Founder and CEO of Esports Charts, shared: "This year's MSC Wild Card Ratings have surpassed the M5 World Wild Card stage, which shows that MSC is not just playing catch-up, but also challenging for the highest profile global events. The acceleration of globalization and the attraction of new audiences outside of traditional Southeast Asia undoubtedly played a key role in viewership. We expect the MSC Race to continue this trend and set a higher rating record! ”

"One of the main reasons why we are rebuilding MSC this year and bringing it out of Southeast Asia is for our team and audience to be able to live up to the slogan of the tournament – 'SeeTheWorld', which also reflects the global and diverse nature of the Winning Peak event ecosystem," said Ray Ng, Head of Ecosystem at Mutong Esports. We are excited to have more teams from emerging regions participate in MSC for the first time and be part of the Saudi Esports World Cup. ”

From July 3rd to 7th, the group stage of the MSC main draw will officially begin, and the Chinese team XYG will play the opening match against the M5 world champion Philippine team Falcons APBren. The knockout rounds will take place from July 10 to 14.
