After a year of being held remotely, and the 2020 installment being cancelled amid the COVID-19 threat, the tournament will now be held offline. &quot;This year&#x27;s tournament marks its return to an offline LAN competition,&quot; Moonton Games said in a statement forwarded to reporters. The tournament will be held on June 11-19, and 12 teams will compete to become Southeast Asia&#x27;s best squad as well as the lion&#x27;s share of the $300,000 (P15 million) prize pool. Two Philippine teams, particularly the champions and the runners-up of the on-going ML:BB Professional League Season 9 (MPL Season 9), will participate. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/06/14/21/mobile-legends-execration-bares-key-behind-msc-2021-title-win-vs-blacklist">Mobile Legends: Execration bares &#x27;key&#x27; behind MSC 2021 title win vs Blacklist</a></li></ul>Among the participating countries is Myanmar, which did not compete in last year&#x27;s installment following a coup that transpired at the time. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/06/21/2-ph-teams-to-compete-in-m3-world-championship-in-sg">2 PH teams to compete in Mobile Legends: M3 World Championship in Singapore</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/02/01/22/myanmar-marks-1-year-since-coup-remains-in-chaos">Military-ruled Myanmar marks 1 year since coup, remains in chaos</a></li></ul>Filipino squad Execration, whose roster is now with Omega Esports, is the reigning champions after drubbing Blacklist International in an all-Filipino SEA finals showdown, 4-1, last year.
