Top 10 MLBB players with highest tournament earnings of all time

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is no longer just a mobile game. It has turned into a global esports phenomenon and has become a lucrative career for professional players. Over the years, some names have stood out in the competitive scene. Most of these players stood out not just for their skill in the game, but also for the staggering earnings they earned from tournaments. 

That said, let’s take a look at the top 10 highest-earning MLBB players of all time and which tournament they possibly got most of their money from. 

Surprisingly, members of Team Liquid PH swarmed the top 10 list of highest-earning MLBB players. The full five-man roster makes up half the list. We can chalk it up to their dominant 2025 run, as they won every major tournament they participated in. The MSC 2025 at EWC is arguably the biggest contributor, as the team went home with $1 million prize money as the champions. 

The Philippines is undeniably home to the strongest players in MLBB esports. The motto of the MLBB Professional League Philippines (MPL PH), “Lakas ng Pinas,” which translates to "The Strength of the Philippines." truly holds weight. This dominance is evident in the earnings list itself. Seventy percent of the top 10 highest-earning MLBB pros come from the Philippines.

The whole five-man squad of Team Liquid PH is on the list as well. KarTzy, the undisputed GOAT of MLBB, is at the top of the list with over $415,072 earned throughout his career as 52% of his overall earnings came from his 2025 run. Aside from The Cavalry, two members of Team Falcons PH are also on the list. Pheww is in 7th place, then FlapTzy in 9th place.

The rising region is not only showing off their skills, but money earnings as well. The strongest MLBB team in Malaysia, SRG.OG, has three members making it to the top 10 highest-earning players. Sekys is in 2nd place with $387,728 overall earnings. Meanwhile, Yums is in 6th place with $364,506, and Stormie is at 10th place with $347,870.

What’s interesting about this is that these players have yet to win any M-series event, the official world championship for MLBB esports. However, SRG.OG is a four-time MPL Malaysia champion. They also won the MSC 2024 at the EWC event back in 2024 before being dethroned by Team Liquid PH the following year. 

MLBB teams from Indonesia have been struggling to perform in recent years. It also did not help that the top 10 players won an EWC evente. The highest-earning player for this region is Gilang "SANZ" with $288,439, who is in 16th place, and 35% of his earnings came from his competitive run back in 2023.

MLBB esports is nothing short of competitive events to participate in. There are third-party events like the Snap Dragon Pro Series and IESF. This is on top of the official tournaments like the MPL, MDL, MSC, and M-series. This is actually the best time to be a professional MLBB player with so many opportunities, even for amateur teams. 

Nonetheless, it looks like the MSC 2025 at the EWC event is a game-changer in terms of player earnings. In fact, it beats the M-series event in terms of prize pool, which is supposed to be the climax of the annual MLBB esports road map. You could say the stakes are higher for the EWC event, especially if the esports organization is participating in the Club Championship. This means one championship win in the mid-season event could skyrocket the overall earnings.
