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.
