In 2023, Mongolian Mobile Legends: Bang Bang players and fans had a blast with various exciting events. One standout was the “ESN National Championship 2023: MLBB”, organized by ESN – eSports Network and MOONTON Games that served as the offline qualifier to the M5 Wild Card in Malaysia with over 586 attendees witnessing the grand clash between Team LiLGun and Last Chance.
Team LiLGun won the competition and made history by representing Mongolia for the first time in the M5 Wild Сard stage in Malaysia. Despite their outstanding performance in the M5 Wild Card and emerging as the dark horses of the tournament, they still have some ways to go to accomplish their goal of becoming international champions.
“The team did very well in their first M Series, and we are expecting greater global success from Team LiLGun,” Vladislav Samokha - Senior Esports Ecosystem Lead - Eastern Europe & Central Asia, Mongolia, “We are thankful for the support of the local Mongolian fans, and we look forward to working closely with ESN once again this year.”
The ESN National Championship 2023: MLBB was one of the most comprehensive and highly organized offline esports tournaments held in Mongolia, which attracted the attention of many passionate and local fans, leading to the bar being raised for professional esports in the country.
This year, ESN and MOONTON Games are set to continue their partnership with an expanded scope. In addition to the M6 Wildcard qualifiers, they will also host the EWC-MSC qualifiers for first time in Mongolia. These tournaments are a huge contribution to the development of Mongolia's esports sector and will provide Mongolian teams an extra opportunity to compete and gain recognition once again on the global stage.
This marks a collaborative effort to enhance esports and gaming entertainment offerings for Mongolian youth, featuring content from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, the premier mobile esport in Mongolia, and Unitel Group, Mongolia's top media and mobile telecommunications company.
Which team will represent Mongolia on the global stage in the above-mentioned tournaments this year?
