This is the country dominating Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has become the largest mobile esports in the world — maybe even the largest esport, period. During its rapid growth, some countries have become dominant in the scene. 

Which countries have earned the most in MLBB? 

As Mobile Legends: Bang Bang continues to grow, you can bet the prize pools are growing along with it. As someone who comes from the FGC, I can sum it up in one words: WOWZA! 

However, some countries are getting a bigger piece of the pie than others. As of November 2025, here are the countries that have earned the most in MLBB: 

1. Philippines: $8,227,240.06
2. Indonesia: $4,701,304.57
3. Malaysia: $2,412,113.24
4. Singapore: $927,875.68
5. Myanmore: $755,090.60
6. Turkey: $530,704.49
7. Cambodia: $498,772.65
8. Russia: $483,123.88
9. Brazil: $479,542.34
10. United States: $300,869.70

Why the Philippines are dominating Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

One of the winningest teams in the MLBB scene right now is Team Liquid PH. This team is actually made up of players from AURA Philippines and ECHO Philippines, two teams from the country. 

Team Liquid signed the teams to essentially get it on the passion of the massive population of the Philippines and Indonesia. 

“In these regions, mobile gaming transcends typical entertainment; it's woven into the everyday lives of people and has become a part of the cultural fabric,” Free Fire Manager Bruno Santoso once said.

“This deep integration has fostered an incredibly passionate and dedicated fan base that regularly engages with mobile gaming content, not just casually but as a significant aspect of social interaction and community identity.”

Countries like the Philippines got into Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports due to how many people in that country are playing the game themselves. The accessibility of mobile games allows for a larger playerbase: if you have a phone, you can play MLBB. Unless you're me, who has no storage left. 

The mainstream esports scene caught wind of the country's obsession with MLBB and wanted to tap into that community. Then, having the support of large organizations like Team Liquid have only continued to help the Philippines remain on top in the scene. Orgs like TL have a ton of player support, including chefs, top-of-the-line training facilities, and mental health coaches. Combine that with raw skill and you're unstoppable. 

Now, the Philippines are expected to dominate at the upcoming M7 tournament as well. This will only add to the country's prize earnings in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
