The M6 World Championship Grand Finals concluded yesterday with Fnatic Onic Philippines (FNOP) defeating 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 M2 World Championship in 2021. Their victory in the summit clash earned them an unbeaten M6 run as well as the lion’s share of the USD 1 million prize pool.
Selangor Red Giants placed third after losing to TLID in the Lower Bracket Finals on 14 December. Their defeat put an end to their Golden Road ambitions – where a team wins all of the major MLBB titles in a year.
