As the excitement of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’s M7 World Championship unfolds, MOONTON has introduced a new competitive element for the media. The MLBB Media Championship (MMC) is designed specifically for on-site media teams, adding a unique layer to the event. This initiative seeks to highlight not only the game itself but also the vital role of media in esports.
Exciting New Media Competitions Unveiled
In a move to recognize the contributions of the media, MOONTON has also announced the M7 Awards for Best Media. The awards are categorized into the Trendspotter Award, the Best in Esports Business Journalism Award, and the Outstanding Feature Award. All these initiatives, including the MMC, have garnered support from realme. The realme 15 Pro has been designated as the official device of the M7, showcasing the brand’s commitment to enhancing the esports experience.
“Hosting the MMC alongside the M7 gives us a chance to showcase the ecosystem behind MLBB Esports,” stated Adrian Cher, Global Head of Partnerships for MLBB Esports at MOONTON Games. “Esports is more than just the game and our players. What many don’t get to see is how technology powers gameplay and how our valued media partners bring these moments to life for audiences around the world.”
The MMC will involve up to eight media teams competing through elimination rounds leading to a grand finale. The winning team will be rewarded with five realme smartphones and a prize pool of 270,000 Diamonds. Meanwhile, the M7 Awards winners will also receive a realme smartphone, 50,000 Diamonds, and a certificate of recognition.
