PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia – The grand finals of the M6 World Championship concluded on December 14 when Fnatic ONIC Philippines (FNOP) defeated Team Liquid Indonesia (TLID) 4:1 in a best-of-seven (BO7) series. Their victory marks the Philippines’ fifth consecutive M Series title since the 2021 M2 World Championship. Their victory in the summit clash gave them an undefeated M6 run, as well as the lion’s share of the $1 million prize pool.
Selangor Red Giants finished third after losing to TLID in the Lower Bracket Finals. Their defeat ended their Golden Road ambitions, where a team wins all major MLBB titles in a year.
FNOP Gold Laner, Duane “Kelra” Pillas, was awarded the Grand Finals Most Valuable Player (FMVP). The rest of FNOP consists of Jann Kirk “Kirk” Solcruz Gutierrez (EXP Laner), King Cyric “K1NGKONG” Perez (Jungler), Frince Miguel “Super Frince” Ramirez (Mid Laner), Borris James “Brusko” Parro (Roamer) and Brian Milez “SpiderMilez” Santos (Roamer). Anthony Dennis “Ynot” Senedrin leads the team as Head Coach and Jeniel “YellyHaze” Bata-Anon is the assistant coach.
FNOP’s historic victory was witnessed by more than 7,000 spectators in the Axiata Arena. Additionally, the event recorded 4.129 million concurrent views (PCV), becoming the third most popular M Series edition in history, while average viewership (AV) increased by 66% at 709,919 AV, according to analytics partner Esports Charts.
Artyom Odintsov, co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “M6 has reaffirmed the growing appeal of MLBB esports and brought an ever-larger audience to its flagship tournament. Although not a record-breaking event, M6 delivered excellent results, with notable growth compared to M5, including a 66% increase in average viewership during the group stage. TikTok played a crucial role, contributing more than 31% of total hours watched, while its expanded co-streaming program drove deeper community engagement, increasing the share of community casting from 18% last year to 24% in viewership terms.”
The M Series returns to Jakarta, Indonesia, for the M7 World Championship, two years after it was last held there (during M4). M7 will take place in January 2026, as previously announced during the M6 Summit, MOONTON Games’ annual industry conference held alongside each M Series.
M7 starts after the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, scheduled for December 2025. MLBB was recently announced as the Games’ first esports title and is the only esports medal event with male and female divisions.
