Here’s everything you need to know about the M6 World Championship, including its format, schedule, results, and where to watch!

What is the M6 World Championship?

The M6 World Championship is the sixth edition of the world’s most prestigious Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tournament.

Sixteen teams from across the globe are competing for a share of the US$1,000,000 prize pool, the largest in M-Series history.

In addition to the massive prize pool, this year’s tournament introduces exciting changes, including the debut of the Swiss format and the addition of China.

M6 World Championship format

Moonton Games introduces the Swiss format to the tournament for the first time. In this structure, teams with identical records face-off, striving to secure three wins to advance to the playoffs, while three losses result in elimination.

The tournament spans five rounds, beginning with random pairings in the opening round. Early matchups are best-of-ones, but as teams advance, later rounds shift to best-of-threes.

Teams with a 2-0 or 2-1 record play best-of-three matches to qualify, while those with 0-2 or 1-2 records fight to avoid elimination in best-of-three games.

In the fifth and final round, teams with a 2-2 record compete in best-of-three matches to decide their playoff fate.

In the Knockout Stage, the remaining teams battle through a double-elimination bracket. All matches are best-of-five, except for the upper bracket quarterfinal, which are best-of-three, and the grand final, which is a best-of-seven.
