Background

edit

The MLBB M6 World Championships was the sixth Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship and the second edition of the games to be held in Malaysia, who hosted the inaugural edition M1 World Championship.[1][2] The hosting was in collaboration with Malaysia's Ministry of Youth and Sports and Moonton.[3]

The country also previously hosted the wildcard phase of the M5 tournament.[4]

Qualification

edit

Qualifying for the M6 World Championship comes from the competing nation/region's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League or commonly known as "MPL." However, regional qualifiers in the North America, Turkey, Myanmar, China and European regions are also held to broaden the reach of the Championship's teams. A single team shall also qualify from the M6 Wildcards.

M6 has returned the number of natural qualifiers for MPL Malaysia to two qualifying teams. Instead of a singular slot, two teams from the Mekong region will now have an opportunity to redeem a spot in the group stages through the M6 Wildcard event. Turkey's Ulfhednar (formerly Fire Flux Esports) qualified for the Swiss Stage after defeating CIS' Insilio 3–0 in the Wild Card decider stage.

Swiss Stage

Bracket

edit

All bracket stage matches were either a Best of 1 or Best of 3. The winning team will qualify in the upper portion of the Swiss bracket until the first top two teams whom have an undefeated record advance to the knockout stage. Three teams would follow suit and will qualify in the second round of qualifiers and the final three teams with a 3-2 record will qualify for the knockouts.

Every round featured a random draw by the players themselves to determine the succeeding matchups. Both Malaysian representatives took significant defeats against underdog regions in Turkey and MENA when S2G Esports defeated MSC 2024 champions Selangor Red Giants and Twisted Minds defeating MPL Malaysia's runner-up Team Vamos. The Philippines and Indonesia have equal numbers of teams in the 1-0 and 0-1 brackets with Fnatic ONIC Philippines and RRQ Hoshi in the 1-0 bracket and Aurora Gaming and Team Liquid ID in the lower half.

This series of the world championship became the first since the M1 World Championships that the Philippines only has one remaining contestant in the competition prior to the knockout stage after the 2–0 sweep by Team Liquid ID at Aurora Gaming. This series also was the second-consecutive world championships that North America will fail to qualify for knockouts. The last time it qualified was during the M4 World Championships.

Coming into the knockout stage, many have dubbed M6 as an unpredictable tournament as many rising regions pulls off upsets from established powerhouses. Falcon Esports swept Singapore's NIP Flash[7] who finished fourth in the M3 World Championships[8] while both Malaysian representatives fell to the lower bracket after losing to the Philippines and Indonesia.[9][10]

Team Vamos would suffer a 3–1 early playoff exit to CIS' Team Spirit who would pull of the same result to Falcon Esports in the lower bracket quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Selangor Red Giants crawled its way from the play-ins to the lower bracket finals when it defeated Team Spirit in a 3-0 sweep.[11]

In the lower-bracket finals, Indonesia's Team Liquid ID won in a 3–0 sweep against the Malaysian champions Selangor Red Giants, setting the stage for another Philippines vs. Indonesia Grand Finale. Team Liquid ID is the first Indonesian team since EVOS Legends to become lower bracket champions.

Announcements

edit

Prior to the Best of 7 series, Moonton Games played a clip celebrating the successes and achievements of Mobile Legends in its eight years of publication. The major news that broke during the announcement period was the official launch of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang to Moonton Games' homeland China. Prior to 2024, Mobile Legends in the Eastern Giant had not been released for several reasons including its steep competition with its computer counterpart League of Legends. However, on January 2025, Mobile Legends is set to be released formally to nearly 1.4 billion people residing in China.

After the launch announcement of MLBB to China, the Esports World Cup Federation also announced that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will remain a part of the Esports World Cup in 2025.

Following the EWC's announcement, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang introduced a remarketed logo for the game alongside a new world championship competition, the Magic Chess Go Go World Championship which will be occurring by next year.

MLBB M7 World Championship

edit

The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports of Malaysia Adam Adli Abdul Halim joined the hosts of M6 onstage to announce the venue for the M7 World Championship. However, it was confirmed that the venue for the Grand Finale will take its sights back to Indonesia. It has been confirmed that M7 will be the first multi-national held event with certain phases of the tournament being hosted in certain parts of the MLBB ecosystem.

Game 1

edit

Game 1 showcased both teams' early game slow-scaling effort as gold leads were traded left and right, with it not rising to nine hundred as the mid-game arrived. After FNOP's Kirk drew first blood to TLID's roamer Widdy, it became a 2 for-1 situation as FNOP took down two players in Widdy and Aran, but TLID's Jungler Faviann took the neutral turtle objective at 3:36.

In the potential skirmish for the second-turtle take, Team Liquid ID transitioned to micro-gameplay as they scattered across the map. Faviann was the catalyst for pushing the top and bottom tier one turret that gave TLID a slight gold advantage despite FNOP taking the second turtle of the game at 6:13. Widdy would fall to Kelra, and Faviann would slay Kelra back however, it was a 3-1 trade of kills with FNOP taking down Widdy, Faviann, and Aeronshikii while TLID only took down Kelra. It was a significant win for FNOP in terms of gameplay because TLID traded a Jungler, a Gold Laner, and a Roamer—two backcourt and one frontcourt hero—for a singular Gold Laner—this disabled TLID's ability to defend their top lane as Kirk pushed the first-tier turret.

K1NGKONG was able to dish out a retribution battle between him and Faviann for the first Lord take at 8:10. A glorious pathway set by Aran made it clear that TLID was going full-on brawl mode and decimate the scattered FNOP squad; however, after a massive play by Brusko to stun and knock up three crucial members of TLID, FNOP won a 2-man kill for a wipeout.

From that point, the game would be one-sided at FNOP's gold lead, which grew to nearly 6.5k by 10:00. TLID wouldn't have second-tier turrets by this time. FNOP would also get the only evolved Lord in the match as, by 12:37, their lead had grown from 6.5k to 7.9k as they pressured TLID at home, taking all three inhibitor turrets. After a diversion play from Super Frince that killed 2 TLID players, Kelra finished the game at 14:03.

Game 2

edit

Game 2 began a potential comeback for TLID when Kirk was caught at a mid-health level during an early game potential pickoff. With 1:37 into the game and the turtle yet to spawn, K1NGKONG forces Widy to utilize his flicker early into the game, setting a 2-minute cooldown for the battle spell. This is compared with the 32-second retribution cooldown for Junglers.

As the first turtle spawns into the map at 2:00, a crucial mid-lane play from FNOP pushes Widy, Aran, and Yehezkiel into their first-tier turrets. However, Faviann on the Joy began a counterattack from behind, and the health bars of FNOP’s members slowly crumbled. TLID had a 359 gold lead by this time as FNOP started to the turtle. Aran would take the early first-blood take when Super Frince fell to Phoveus’ hands but K1NGKONG still evenly traded for the turtle.

TLID held their largest lead in the series yet at 1.7k at 4:40 into the game. Aran capitalized on their position but failed to capitalize on the backup as TLID’s members focused on the turtle take. In a disengage effort by TLID, an AOG set by Brusko took Yehezkiel down in a trade for Kirk. However, Widy would fall to Kelra’s hands as K1NGKONG capitalized on the absence of Faviann, taking the second turtle of the game and diminishing TLID’s lead. It was a mid-laner and a roamer for an exp-laner and the turtle trade.

Widy and Faviann would fall in their bottom Jungle side despite getting a great look and knocking up both Frince and Brusko. Despite their low HP levels, FNOP stayed unscathed as another wipeout for TLID was pulled off by the yellow porcupines at 6:36. At 10:43 into the game, FNOP could take the first lord of the match. By this time, TLID has yet to respond in a proper capitalization of Game 2 at FNOP and holds a 7.9k gold lead over the squad. FNOP was pressuring TLID all this time as Aran fell in a crucial base defense. All Inhibitor turrets have fallen, and FNOP ended the game at 11:50.

Game 3

edit

Game 3’s draft was a comfort pick showcase by MPL Indonesia’s champions; however, K1NGKONG would pick on first blood in the first minute of the match on Widy’s Carmilla. Faviann would take the first turtle of the game. However, Kirk’s attempt at a back door play to pick off Widy was abysmal as TLID picks off Kirk at 2:19 without FNOP making a trade for it.

At 3:13, Kirk would get picked off for the second time after Favian and Aran attacked Kirk’s hero inside its turret. The team would trade off Widy for a kill as the gold lead remains stagnant. TLID’s plan of pushing FNOP just enough to avoid a contest on the turtle worked despite Aran falling to the hands of Brusko. Faviann would still get the second turtle of the game in that microplay. Despite an AOG set by Brusko, Faviann was able to capitalize on the low HP bar of Brusko to take a turtle and kill trade. Yet, he doesn’t stop there and grabs his triple kill of the series, pulling Kelra and Kirk with Brusko to capitalize on the massive gold advantage and victory for TLID.

In an attempt to grab a Maniac play from Faviann, it was just enough time for K1NGKONG to outplay Faviann’s moves to get him picked off by Kirk in the top lane. Aran would get killed on the bottom lane after Kelra pushed it to the first turret. Yehezkiel’s zone-out effort in the middle bush at 6:56 for the third and final turtle take proved to pay dividends as TLID took the third turtle as well as a pick-off kill from K1NGKONG. At 7:28, the fight was prolonged as positions from both teams materialized into crucial pickoffs. Kelra was able to take out Widy, but Yehezkiel killed Kelra in the final moments before he was taken out by the burst magic damage caused by the Harith. However, Faviann on the backline, killed Brusko, who was in critical health levels, but he was traded for Aran. It wouldn’t stop there as Kirk's onslaught of vengeance pushed through. He killed Faviann inside their first-tier turret to go for a 4 for two kills. Kirk would still get killed at the end.

The first lord take materialized for TLID as the team successfully zoned out crucial members, including K1NGKONG, from retributing the lord from Faviann. A crucial pick-off from Kelra and a pre-death from Kirk just moments prior to the lord's take made it seem impossible for FNOP to contest the lord. TLID capitalized on this outnumbered scenario for FNOP, and TLID has built up its largest gold lead in the series, yet at 2.7k gold. Kelra gets taken down at 12:58, and a death sonata play comes in from TLID that immobilizes three of FNOP’s players, which turned into four, with Super Frince unable to get back to their base. TLID regains its momentum to force Game 5.

Game 4

edit

Game 4 is again a Fnatic ONIC Philippines rebound as they open the game in a 1-0 kill pickoff. Fnatic ONIC Philippines’ composition focuses on pickoffs after pickoffs through their scaling mechanics and individual skillset. In contrast, Team Liquid Indonesia focuses on a lineup that needs to snowball damages and take neutral objectives to contest an even playing field with Fnatic ONIC Philippines.

In just 5 minutes into the Game, K1NGKONG had already put pressure on Faviann and Yehezkiel in the middle lane alongside their bottom right corner jungle. After a set by Widy at 6:37, Kirk would pick off two from TLID, including Widy and Aran, while K1NGKONG dashes in and out of players from TLID to pick off Yehezkiel and a pickoff for Kelra on Aeronshikii. It was a 4-for-nothing kill trade for FNOP.

FNOP’s early game lead and a subsequent trounce on TLID during the mid-game forced the Indonesian squad back to their base at 10:18 into the match. Kelra sniped Aeronshikii, who was trying to set up a damaged play with Claude’s signature skill. FNOP extended their lead three games to 1 after securing the largest gold lead in the series thus far at 14.8k gold. Game 4 was also the fastest game in all of M6 at 10:34 seconds.

Game 5

edit

After another close early game from both teams, Team Liquid ID remains its composure during every skirmish FNOP launches at them. These include the 9:48 take on the lord which TLID capitalize in taking nearly three lives of FNOP's roster. Regardless of the pickoffs, FNOP remains to be in the lead at times due to their critical neutral objective takes. However, after a successfully calculated real world manipulation by Super Frince, FNOP brawled out and went in for the kill that nearly wiped out the entire roster of TLID–a 3 for 1 trade–sends this game into total control for FNOP.

A crucial shadow kill use from Faviann sends him to his untimely demise when Kelra's sphere connected with his shadow teleport, killing Faviann in a potential comeback for TLID when defending their base. This comes in handy for the Filipino squad as they got the second lord of the game during his absence. In another calculated play on the blue-side jungle of TLID, they traded another kill but to FNOP's advantage as they only lost Brusko and took the lord while TLID lost both of their frontline heroes.

TLID's momentum never materialized from their early game advantage as FNOP was able to capitalize on their crucial positions to win the Philippines its fifth-consecutive world title.

Record(s)

edit

During the Lower Bracket Quarter Final match between Selangor Red Giants (SRG) and Rex Regum Qeon Hoshi (RRQ), John Vincent "Innocent" Banal delivered a historic performance on the hero Granger in Game 3, tallying 19 kills to set the all-time single-game kills record in the M-Series – coincidentally against the previous record holder, Schevenko “Skylar” Tendean of RRQ.[13]

During the upper bracket finals, Fnatic ONIC Philippines pulled a rare feat of attaining a nearly 15,000-gold lead during Game 1 against Team Liquid ID. They finished the fastest game in the upper bracket at 10 minutes 53 seconds,[14] just three seconds faster than Team Vamos' match against RRQ Hoshi during the quarterfinals.[15]

Controversies

edit

Disconnection issue

edit

During the crucial match between Turkey's Ulfhednar and China's DianFengYaoGuai (DFYG), a crucial pick off was made on Liu "Zzzed" Chenjian when his hero died inside of the turret that led to the eventual collapse and subsequent defeat of the Chinese squad. The team however, filed a protest against the game, stating that Liu's device disconnected from the Wi-Fi signal inside of the venue that led to the eventual defeat of DFYG. The investigation however ruled that DFYG's claim was not sufficient enough for a rematch thus continuing the decider match between Ulfhednar and Insilio.

Public outrage was shown on social media especially the Chinese fanbase of DFYG.[24]
