MOBA Mobile
Introducing MOBA Mobile
MOBA Mobile is a fast-paced, strategic discipline. Teams are challenged to demonstrate teamwork, hero mastery, and real-time decision-making, highlighting the tactical complexity of MOBA gameplay. Built for mobile devices, it offers an intense tournament experience where strategy, coordination, and technical skill are put to the challenge.
Competition Format
There are 16 teams in the competition - split into four groups of four. The groups are decided by a draw, with teams playing in a GSL format (no fifth match).
Â
Following the first two matches in the group stage, the top team of each group goes straight through to the quarterfinals. The second and third placed teams in each group then play a third match against teams with the same ranking from the other groups. Winners of these matches fill the remaining quarterfinal places. The tournament then continues through quarterfinals, semifinals, a third-place match, and the final.
Â
During the group stage, teams play in a best-of-three format. In the final, teams play a best-of-five format.
Teams
Each team has up to six athletes. Five athletes compete in each match with the sixth available as a substitute between matches.
