M6 World Championship is the biggest yearly esports tournament for the Mobile Legends Bang Bang community.

There was a live attendance of over 7,000 audience members and 4.129 million peak concurrent viewers (PCV) who witnessed Fnatic ONIC PH's triumphant victory over Team Liquid on the last day (December 15, 2024) of the M6 World Championship final.

Meanwhile, Moonton Games also unveiled a new MLBB logo and the venue for the M7 World Championship on the same day.

Per Atyom Odintsov, co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts:

"M6 has once again confirmed the growing appeal of MLBB esports, bringing an ever-expanding audience to its flagship tournament. While not a record-breaking event, M6 delivered outstanding results, with notable growth compared to M5, including a 66% increase in average viewership during the Group Stage."

He added:

"TikTok played a pivotal role, contributing over 31% of total hours watched, while the expanded co-streaming program drove deeper community involvement, raising the share of community casting from 18% last year to 24% in terms of viewership."

Fnatic ONIC Philippines become the champions of the M6 World Championship

The M6 World Champions, which commenced on November 21, 2024, saw eight teams compete against each other to enter the Swiss Stage of this year's M Series World Championship. The Swiss Stage began on November 28, 2024, with 16 teams locking horns against each other for a place in the Knockout Stage.

The Knockout Stage began on December 7, 2024, and concluded on December 15, 2024.

Fnatic ONIC PH put up a valiant show throughout all stages and maintained a winning streak to enter the final game against Team Liquid Indonesia. The Filipino side held their nerves in the finals and beat the latter 4-1 in a best-of-seven game. With this, they won the fifth consecutive M Series title for the Philippines and a majority of the $1 million prize pool.

Meanwhile, Selangor Red Giants, the Malaysian heavyweights, finished in third place despite losing to Team Liquid in the Lower Bracket Finals. Team Spirit were fourth in this year's tournament.

While it was a good campaign for Selangor Red Giants, some fans may be disheartened, as their defeat against Team Liquid ended their Golden Road ambitions, i.e., winning all the major MLBB titles in a year.
