The M6 Swiss Stage is the opening phase of the M6 World Championship and features all sixteen participating teams. It introduces the Swiss format, a dynamic structure designed to ensure balanced and exciting matchups throughout the stage.

All teams qualified for M6 World Championship

Unlike traditional group stages, the Swiss format pairs teams with identical win-loss records. Every match matters—teams need three wins to advance to the Knockout Stage, while three losses spell elimination.

This structure ensures that every game feels meaningful, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as teams fight to survive and thrive.

Early rounds are fast-paced best-of-ones, while later rounds feature best-of-three deciders.

Teams with 2-0 or 2-1 records fight for playoff spots, while those at 0-2 or 1-2 battle to stay in the tournament.

The final round sees 2-2 teams face off in best-of-threes to determine who advances. Only the strongest move on to the Knockout Stage, where champions are truly tested.
