Find MLBB Community Tournament Permission and Lobby Access Channels
Where to find MOONTON's MLBB Tournament Tool and Major Community Tournament License Application, how ESIC review fits, and what to prepare before applying.
Contents
The short answer
MOONTON published the official channels for community and third-party Mobile Legends: Bang Bang events in a 23 April 2024 announcement on its own news site. That announcement points to an MLBB Third-Party Tournament website with two routes. The MLBB Tournament Tool is for small tournaments. The Major Community Tournament License Application is for larger events. If you searched for an MLBB tournament mode, a tournament lobby, or an apply link, start with that announcement and follow the links it names. Links passed around in search results or social posts are a less reliable starting point.
A separate organization, the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC), runs an MLBB portal. Organizers can submit their tournament rules and player agreements there for an integrity-compliance review. ESIC review is a parallel track. It does not grant publisher permission or lobby access.
The announcement names the channels, but it does not settle which territories are eligible today, what the application form asks for, or what the licensing terms are. Confirm those on the live channels before you commit to dates, prizes or sponsors.
What each channel covers
| Channel | Intended for | What MOONTON or ESIC describes | What it does not settle |
| MLBB Tournament Tool | Small tournaments | Tournament-lobby access, with players joining by QR code or tournament ID | Whether your event qualifies; current territory and terms |
| Major Community Tournament License Application | Larger events | Enhanced support: a server with heroes and emblems unlocked, MLBB logo certification, and marketing support through official channels | Approval or availability for your specific event |
| ESIC MLBB portal | Organizers drafting tournament terms | Model clauses for tournament rules and for team/player agreements; review of proposed documents for integrity compliance | Publisher permission or lobby access |
How to locate and confirm the right channel
- Go to MOONTON's official English news section and find the third-party tournament announcement dated 23 April 2024.
- Make sure the page is on MOONTON's own site and not a repost, fan page or forum thread.
- Follow the links labelled "MLBB Tournament Tool" and "Major Community Tournament License Application" from inside the announcement.
- Check that the destination presents itself as the MLBB Third-Party Tournament website the announcement refers to.
- On the live page, read the current category definitions, territory eligibility, required fields and terms. Rely on these, not on older posts or summaries.
- If someone sends you an "apply link," trace it back to the announcement before entering any organizer details.
To decide which route to use, start with what you need. If you need a lobby your players can join by QR code or tournament ID, look at the Tournament Tool first. If you want the announced extras, such as the unlocked server, logo certification or official marketing support, look at the major license application. Team count alone does not tell you which category MOONTON places your event in. Use the definitions shown on the live channel.
Where ESIC review fits
ESIC's MLBB portal says prospective third-party organizers must comply with ESIC's codes and build them into their tournament terms. It cites MLBB General Rules 4.2(n) as the basis. The portal provides one set of model clauses for tournament rules and another for team and player agreements. It also accepts proposed documents for integrity-compliance review. Its drafting notes ask organizers to use defined terms consistently and to state clearly which party is signing. Plan this review alongside your MOONTON application, and keep ESIC's response separate from anything the publisher sends you.
Prepare an event-information packet first
Collect your event details before you open any form, so you are not drafting answers on the spot. The items below are suggestions for preparation only. The form itself decides what is actually required. Format, fees and prizes are your decisions, but MOONTON's current terms decide whether they are permitted, and your venue or local rules may add other obligations.
- Organizer identity and contact person
- Event name
- Dates and time zone
- Online territory, or venue for in-person play
- Proposed participant eligibility and expected team or player count
- Tournament format
- Entry fees, if any
- Prizes
- Sponsors
- Broadcast or streaming plans
- Lobby features you intend to request
| Packet item | Current form requirement | Prepared answer | Supporting document | Unresolved question |
| Event dates and time zone | (copy from live form) | |||
| Territory or venue | (copy from live form) | |||
| Participant count and eligibility | (copy from live form) | |||
| Entry fees and prizes | (copy from live form) | |||
| Sponsors and broadcast | (copy from live form) | |||
| Requested lobby features | (copy from live form) |
Keep a channel register
Track tournament permission, lobby access and ESIC document review as three separate items. They come from different places and have different outcomes. For example, getting lobby access through the Tournament Tool does not mean your permission request is settled, so record each result on its own row.
| Request purpose | Official starting point | Linked channel | Game/version | Event territory | Date checked | Current eligibility | Required fields/documents | Submission reference | Response |
| Tournament permission | MOONTON announcement | ||||||||
| Tournament-lobby access | MOONTON announcement | ||||||||
| ESIC document review | ESIC MLBB portal |
Step-by-step workflow
- 1. Open MOONTON's announcement and follow its named official links.
- 2. Look at the Tournament Tool for small-event lobby access, and at the Major Community Tournament License Application if you want larger-event support.
- 3. Check current licensing applicability, territory, eligibility, documentation and access procedures on the live pages.
- 4. Fill the requirement column of your packet from the actual form, then complete your answers and attach supporting documents.
- 5. Mark any requirement you cannot see or get answered as pending verification. Do not guess.
- 6. Draft your tournament rules and team/player agreements, using ESIC's model clauses where they apply, and submit them through ESIC's portal for review.
- 7. Submit through the appropriate MOONTON channel and record the submission reference.
- 8. Log publisher and ESIC responses on their own rows in your register.
Hypothetical example: a 16-team online event
Suppose you are planning an online bracket with 16 teams. In your packet, record the intended territory, dates, format and the lobby features you want. Do not decide in advance that 16 teams makes this a small or major event. Leave both permission and lobby access marked as unconfirmed until official responses settle each one. If you also send your rules to ESIC, log that review as a third item with its own status.
Common mix-ups to avoid
- Treating lobby access as a license: the Tournament Tool gives access to a lobby, and the major application is a separate route for larger-event support.
- Treating ESIC review as permission: ESIC reviews integrity compliance only and does not authorize your event for the publisher.
- Assuming announced features are guaranteed: the unlocked server, logo certification and marketing support are listed as part of the major route, not promised to any particular event.
- Applying through unverified links: always start from MOONTON's own announcement.
