Mobile Legends Tournament Hits Major Viewership Milestone in Early 2025
A pivotal match between powerhouse teams RRQ Hoshi and ONIC Esports PH has set a new viewership record for the Snapdragon Pro Series. Drawing over 1.08 million concurrent viewers during their playoff clash in the Season 6 APAC Challenge Finals.
This achievement marks a significant moment in early 2025 esports, as the tournament joins an elite group of only three competitions to surpass the million-viewer threshold this year. Alongside the LCK Cup and IEM Katowice.
The ESL-organized Snapdragon Pro Series has established itself as a cornerstone of competitive Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). The tournament structure spans four major regions – APAC, EMEA, LATAM, and China. With top performers advancing to the prestigious ESL Snapdragon Pro Series: Mobile Masters.
Southeast Asia continues to demonstrate its dominance in the MLBB scene, not only as the home region for elite teams but also as a massive viewer base. Both RRQ Hoshi and ONIC Esports PH have built impressive legacies in the sport, with numerous championships including MPL titles and World Championship victories. Their matchup naturally generated intense interest from the MLBB community.
This viewership milestone underscores the growing popularity of mobile esports and particularly highlights Southeast Asia’s passionate gaming community. With the Snapdragon Pro Series gaining such significant audience numbers early in the year, it sets an intriguing precedent for esports viewership trends in 2025.
