The moment of truth has arrived for eight of the finest Mobile Legends: Bang Bang teams from Myanmar.
In the M5 Myanmar Qualifier, these teams will vie for the opportunity to represent their region in the upcoming M5 World Championship.
Out of the initial 96 teams that registered for the qualifier, only four made the cut, with the remaining four receiving direct invitations.
Among the notable teams, Falcon Esports has undergone a transformation, now featuring the roster of Fenix Esports, who represented Myanmar at MSC 2023.
Former members of Falcon Esports, Pyae “JustiN” Khant, Kenneth “Kenn.” Hein, and Swan “Ruby DD” Aung, have united under a new banner known as Mythic Seal.
In addition to these teams, AI Esports and Burmese Ghouls have also thrown their hats into the ring, eager to once again represent Myanmar on the international stage.
Here’s everything you need to know about the tournament, including its schedule, format, and where to watch the games.
What is the M5 Myanmar Qualifier?
The M5 Myanmar Qualifier marks the final official Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tournament in Myanmar for this year.
The victorious team will not only claim the lion’s share of the US$10,000 prize pool, but also represent Myanmar in the upcoming M5 World Championship set to take place in the Philippines later this year.
Tournament format
The regular season will span four days and will be played in a best-of-three, single round-robin format. The top three teams in each group will then proceed to the playoffs.
The playoffs will have a double-elimination format. The teams seeded second and third will initiate their journey in the quarterfinals, whereas the top-seeded teams will secure a spot directly in the semifinals.
All the games will be a best-of-five, except for the grand final which will be a best-of-seven showdown.
