History of the MLBB M World Championship

The M World Championship is the largest international Mobile Legends tournament of the year, bringing together the best talent to compete for the world championship title. The M World Championship has only been held four times before. Indonesia team EVOS Legends has won once, while different Filipino teams have claimed the win the other three times.

The first M World Championship, or the M1, was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at the Axiata Arena, which saw sixteen teams competing. In an exciting Bo7 Grand Finals matchup that went down to the wire, EVOS Legends went up against Rex Regum Qeon to claim the inaugural title.

The M2 World Championships was fraught with disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was held offline. Similar to its maiden season, 16 teams competed for a chance to prove they were the best of the rest. After a grueling Bo7 series in the Grand Finals, Bren Esports clinched the title away from the Burmese Ghouls, making them the first Filipino team to win the MLBB world championship.

The M3 World Championship, like the M2, also took place in 2021. This tournament was ground-breaking in that it introduced non-MPL teams from different regions like the US, Russia, the Middle East, and LATAM. The prize pool saw a massive increase from $300,000 to $800,000, cementing the M World Championship as the pinnacle of MLBB esports.

The fourth iteration of the M World Championship was held in January 2023. It saw the clash of two Filipino titans in the Grand Final, as ECHO Philippines and Blacklist International duked it out for the win. Ultimately, ECHO claimed the win, but Blacklist will be back for their chance at glory in M5!

The Philippines and Malaysia played host to the M5 World Championship, with the all-new Wildcard Stage hosted at the Jio Space from November 23 - 26. The Philippines will be the battleground for the main tournament, with the Group Stage and Knockouts. AP.Bren took home the crown in an exciting Grand Final against the yellow hedgehogs at ONIC.

M6 World Championship: Favorite Teams To Watch

Many teams are competing in the M6 World Championship, but, of course, only one team can claim the crown, the glory, and the lion's share of the prize pool the huge $1M prize pool. Here are our favorite teams to keep an eye on during the tournament.

Fnatic ONIC PH

The pride of the Philippines, Fnatic ONIC PH, are ones to watch in this year's M World Championship. They topped the charts in MPL Philippines S14 regular season, with an incredible match record of 13-1. Under the all new banners of Fnatic, will they be able to claim their first M World title?

Aurora Gaming

Despite being an now-established name in esports, Aurora Gaming only entered the competitive MLBB scene earlier this year in July. Since then, they've climbed their way to success, achieving second in MPL PH S14 in a matter of months. Their team features well-know names like Renejay and Edward leading the way.

NIP Flash

As Singapore's lone representative, much pressure lies on the shoulders of NIP Flash. They have completely dominated MPL SG for three straight seasons and boast one of the most experienced rosters in the competition. They'll be looking to improve upon their disappoining 9th-12th place finish in last year's run.
