It has notable teams such as GeO Esports, who participated in the M1 World Championship last 2019, and DreamMax E-Sports, who was last seen at the M2 World Championship.

Brazil also hosted a the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Brazil National Championship after the M2 World Championship, which had a prize pool of US$15,000.
