MTC Turkiye Season 7 Sets Viewership Records, Aurora Heads to MSC

MTC Turkiye Championship Season 7 set new viewership highs, recording 504,189 hours watched, a peak of 34,134 concurrent viewers and a season average above 5,000. Aurora Gaming defeated FUT Esports 4-2 to win its third straight domestic title and earn a direct place in the MLBB Mid Season Cup 2026 Main Event; FUT Esports will begin at the Wildcard Stage.

The series posted a 102.5% increase in total watch time and a 22% rise in peak viewers compared with its previous best. Organizers expanded the competition format to add regular-season and playoff matches, increasing the number of broadcasted series and contributing to the higher totals.

The 34,134 peak places the Turkish league among the top eight completed regional qualifiers for MSC 2026 by peak viewers. The circuit has grown from attracting only a few thousand viewers in its earliest seasons to its current totals.

MSC 2026 will be held at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from July 22 to August 1 as part of the Esports World Cup 2026. The Wildcard stage runs July 1-4, and its winner will advance to the Main Event.

Other regional qualifiers that concluded over the weekend showed mixed audience trends. MPL Singapore Season 11 peaked at 12,717 viewers during its Grand Final, a 9.12% increase from the previous split. IGNITE Gaming beat EVIL 4-3 to claim its first domestic title in its first finals appearance. The league’s current peak remains below its pre-pandemic highs and behind newer regional leagues such as MPL Cambodia and MPL MENA and two recently established MLBB Super Leagues.

The MLBB Continental Championships Season 7, covering teams from the CIS, Georgia and Ukraine, reached a peak of 24,650 viewers during Team Spirit’s 4-0 win over Verso Time. Team Spirit earned its fifth consecutive domestic title and a Main Event berth, while Verso Time qualified for the Wildcard Stage. The absence of Virtus.pro, a widely followed organization, was cited as a factor that likely limited peak viewership and may have kept the final from surpassing 30,000 viewers.

With most regional leagues complete, the majority of the MSC 2026 field is now set. Ten teams will enter the Wildcard Stage to compete for the final Main Event slot.
