Mobile Legends: Main Bet Types, Top-Tier Tournaments, and Outcome Predictions

With over 70 million average monthly players, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is one of the most downloaded free multiplayer online battle area games worldwide. There are multiple reasons why Moonton's game became a cultural phenomenon, including high accessibility (the game is designed for mobile devices), fast-paced gameplay with quick 10-20 minute matches, a large roster of heroes, and appealing graphics. If you're new to this polished MOBA, we have you covered with a quick guide to get your basics straight.

MLBB: Basic Rules

Mobile Legends is pretty similar to other games in the genre. Two teams of 5 players lock horns on one of many maps, attempting to destroy the opponent's home base, called Nexus. To destroy the base, the team has to wrack at least one inhibitor turret that stands in their way. Additional objectives include defeating minions and enemies in the jungle that lies between the Top, Mid, and Bottom lanes.

Players can choose their hero from a roster of characters with unique abilities. The main six classes are tank, fighter, assassin, mage, marksman, and support. Destroying the enemy's Nexus requires coordinated attacks, cohesion, and workable strategies and tactics.

Largest Tournaments

Mobile Legends presents a wide range of incredible betting opportunities to win substantial sums. Here are the most prestigious events that attract millions of players and bettors across the globe:

• MLBB World Championship. This event is undeniably the pinnacle of competitive MLBB. The annual championship gathers top performers who qualified through regional leagues and qualifiers and offers a prize pool of over $800,000.
• Snapdragon Pro Series. Organized by ESL and sponsored by such heavyweights as Samsung, it's no wonder that Snapdragon is the crème de la crème of competitive MLBB. The tournament attracts top talent and promises a prize pool of around $150,000.

Other notable events include the Mobile Legends Professional League, the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup, and the MLBB Super League.

Main Bet Types

With so many leagues and tournaments, mobile legends betting is never dull. Here's a quick look at the biggest betting markets:

• Match Winner. Predict the team that wins the entire match.
• Map Winner. Depending on the format (best-of-five, best-of-three), MLBB matches consist of multiple maps. Bet on the team that wins a specific round (e.g., Map 2), not the entire series.
• Totals. Predict whether the playing time, number of total kills, dragon kills, etc., goes over or under a specific number set by the bookie.
• Outrights. Bet on the winner of the entire tournament.

Another specific bet may include first blood, first tower, first Lord kill, etc.

How to Make a Prediction

If you're new to the game, making a prediction is challenging. Here are a couple of tips to boost your chances of winning money:

• Understand the game's meta, also known as the best strategic and tactical ways to play a given match. Meta tends to change, so follow pro players to understand the latest approaches to MLBB.
• Choose a reliable mobile legend betting site to get the best odds and access to top tournaments.
• Analyze the team's and individual players' previous performances and stats. Keep an eye on the previous head-to-head encounters between the top teams.
