The road to the M7 World Championship has officially ignited — and it’s already breaking records. With the Wild Card stage wrapped, Boostgate Esports (BGT) and Team Zone (Z1) have claimed the final two slots in the M7 Swiss Stage, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown when the action resumes on January 10 in Jakarta.
Not only did both squads deliver unforgettable performances, but the Wild Card also shattered expectations, recording 447,251 Peak Concurrent Viewers — the highest in M Series history. The excitement surrounding Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Esports shows no signs of slowing down, and fans worldwide are gearing up for the biggest M Series tournament yet.
Wild Card Underdogs Rise to the Top
Hosted at XO Hall in Jakarta, the Wild Card featured eight hungry hopefuls competing for just two life-changing seats at M7.
Boostgate Esports: The Cinderella Story
Making their international debut, Boostgate Esports fought their way through the bracket before stunning favorites Virtus Pro in a gripping 3–2 victory. Each match raised the tension — and the cheers — as the underdogs rallied the arena behind them.
Their triumph reinforced one truth: in MLBB esports, no dynasty is safe and no dream is out of reach.
Team Zone: Young, Fearless, and Relentless
Team Zone’s run was equally electrifying. The youngest team in the tournament stormed through the Wild Card undefeated, sealing their ticket with a dramatic reverse sweep over Guangzhou Gaming.
Self-built, self-driven, and determined from day one, Z1 turned doubt into dominance — and now, they’ll test that momentum on the world stage.
