A New Benchmark for MLBB Esports in 2025
This year’s ESL Snapdragon Pro Series: Mobile Masters has set a new standard as the most-watched esports event of 2025 so far, based on peak viewership. It also now ranks as the tenth most-viewed Mobile Legends tournament in history, following major international competitions like the M6 World Championship.
Esports Charts reported that viewership steadily climbed throughout the event, without sudden spikes—indicating that the surge was organic. This growth was partly driven by popular community streamers like R7 Tatsumaki and RRQ Skylar, who attracted 95,000 and 82,000 concurrent viewers respectively.
High Viewership Sustained Throughout the Tournament
The tournament’s second most-viewed match surpassed 1.6 million viewers, while several others approached the one million mark. These numbers underline the widespread popularity of the tournament and its top teams. RRQ Hoshi continues to be one of the most followed squads in the MLBB universe, while ONIC Philippines holds the global championship title after winning the M6 World Championship in late 2024.
Impressive Averages and a Passionate Indonesian Fan Base
Average viewership for the event exceeded 468,000, confirming the strong interest in Mobile Legends within the esports community. Particularly notable was the support from the Indonesian audience, with the official MPL Indonesia YouTube channel reaching a peak of 760,698 viewers during the finals.
Future Competitions May Surpass This Record
The record set by the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series: Mobile Masters 2025 could be tested soon, with major international events like the MLBB Mid-Season Cup scheduled for the summer. This upcoming tournament, part of the Esports World Cup, is expected to attract significant global attention and may push viewership even higher.
