ATLANTA, 8 May – The United States Esports Federation (USEF.GG) and MOONTON Games, the developer of internationally-acclaimed Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), are partnering to select the top players to compete in upcoming IESF (International Esports Federation) tournaments.

Throughout the spring, MOONTON Games has hosted its exciting North America Challenger Tournament (NACT) in order to identify top teams in the U.S. The intense competition is leading to the Season Grand Final event, which will take place in Las Vegas, at LUXOR HOTEL & CASINO, 3900 S. Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89119, on 12 May. 

Fans are invited to join the Grand Finals in-person or watch the livestream on YouTube. The high-stakes Finals will feature two of the best MLBB North American teams, Gaimin Gladiators and BTK competing live and in-person. Participating teams are eligible to be selected by the USEF.GG Player Selection Committee to represent the United States in the IESF Pan American Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June. The top players will also be eligible to represent the U.S. at IESF's World Esports Championship in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, taking place in late 2024. This year, the IESF WEC will feature two MLBB competition brackets: one for mixed teams, and one for female-only teams. 

"The United States Esports Federation is thrilled to continue to partner with MOONTON Games to provide MLBB players with international pathways for esports competition and development," said Gerald Solomon, Executive Director of USEF.GG. "The upcoming IESF tournaments present valuable opportunities for players to showcase their talent and passion for MLBB. Additionally, USEF.GG's commitment to player development will provide greater opportunities for top MLBB players and professional teams."

"We're thrilled to offer mobile tournament opportunities in the United States through MLBB," said Todd Harris, Chair of the Board of NASEF and a leader in the games industry for decades. "We look forward to offering NACT winners an invitation to represent their country playing MLBB at key global events. They'll receive global travel benefits, access to large prize pools, and coaching and support from USEF.GG's player development team."
