Team Liquid PH and Auora Gaming PH fought tooth and nail at the recently concluded Mobile Legends Professional League Philippines (MPL PH) Season 16. Team Liquid PH staked their claim as the best in the Philippines after a dominant sweep of Aurora Gaming 4-0 in the Grand Finals. Both of these teams will represent the country against 20 of the best Mobile Legends: Bang Bang teams around the world in Jakarta, Indonesia from January 3-25, 2026. With 1,000,000 USD on the line and the title of world champion at stake, expect beautiful Mobile Legends right from Day 1 of the M7 World Championships.

M7 will be a long grueling tournament that spans more than three weeks and it kicks off with the Wild Card stage. This first phase of M7 will feature teams from up-and-coming Mobile Legends regions such as China, the Middle East, and even Japan. Eight teams enter the Wild Card but only two will get to join the others to form the sweet sixteen for the Swiss Stage.
The sweet sixteen will get to play in front of an electrifying crowd at the Tennis Indoor Stadium Senayan, the venue of the M4 World Championship back in 2022 when Frederic ‘Bennyqt’ Gonzales and ECHO defeated Jonmar ‘OhMyV33NUS’ Villaluna’s Blacklist International. Filipino fans will surely be hoping for another all-Pinoy Grand Finals at M7 but only time will tell if that’s meant to be.
Celebrating Nine Years of Mobile Legends
Running alongside the M7 World Championships is the M7 Carnival at the Stadion Madya, GBK. The M7 Carnival aims to celebrate nearly a decade of Mobile Legends with Watch Parties, Meet-and-Greets, and the M7 Talent Show alongside other activities in the area. With the world championship returning to Indonesia, home to the game’s biggest fan-base, expect a memorable experience in both the M7 World Championships for the action and at the Carnival for fun, games, and freebies.
