Being among the most decorated organizations in the circuit, Team Spirit has acquired Team Deus Vult, before their first appearance in the MLBB esports scene.
With Deus Vult’s roster that clinched fourth place in the recently concluded M5 World Championship 2023, Team Spirit arrives prepared for their first MLBB competition.

In one of his recent interviews, esports head Ray Ng talked about their efforts to increase MLBB’s popularity in Western markets. Team Spirit’s inclusion in MCC 2024 prior to the upcoming Esports World Cup Riyadh 2024 (MSC 2024 will be featured in the Esports World Cup) shows their efforts to make it a reality.
Adaiyat Mamedov, the Esports and Commercial Lead of Moonton Games in the EECA region, said:
“We're delighted to welcome Team Spirit into the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang arena. As one of the world's esports juggernauts, we expect them to raise the league's competitive quality and entertainment value to the next level. Coupled with their world-beating talent equipped with teen spirit, they are set for an impactful first season."
Nikita Cheshir Chukalin, the CEO of Team Spirit, said:
“Team Spirit is an international esports organisation that has proven to be among the world's best. Victories at The International, Riyadh Masters, and IEM Katowice are worthy results, but we don’t intend to stop. Therefore, the Team Spirit family is getting bigger and the organisation is spreading to new disciplines.”
He said Team Spirit has decided to concentrate on the mobile gaming sector in 2024 and that throughout the years, their organization has tried to recruit young players, which is reflected in their MLBB roster recruitment. Chukalin hoped that this MLBB team would quickly become a part of their DNA as well.
In his words:
“Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is another new discipline for us. We are happy to join the circuit in which I hope we can be a serious contender despite the formidable competition. We believe in the guys and know what they are capable of. At the same time, we will do everything in our power to make them feel comfortable both during training and playing at major competitions. So that the only thing they are focused on will be their performance."
The champions of MCC 2024 will earn their spot in the MLBB Mid Season Cup 2024 and compete in front of the world in the Esports World Cup Riyadh 2024. The winners will also get the lion’s share of a whopping $40,000 prizepool. Moonton Games and Fissure presents MCC 2024, which will begin on the last weekend of March 2024.
