PHILIPPINES – If you’ve been following the epic rise of Filipino esports teams, get ready for another exciting chapter. The M6 World Championship is set to unfold in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from November 28 to December 15, 2024. Once again, we’re all rallying behind our champions—Fnatic ONIC PH (FNOP) and Aurora MLBB (RORA)—to defend the Philippines’ dominance with a fifth consecutive title win!
This year’s theme, Greater Than Ever, promises an even grander stage for 16 international teams, competing for a whopping USD 1 million prize pool (around PHP 55 million). But for us, it’s more than just the prize. It’s about continuing the legacy of Filipino greatness.
The #PinasPinakamalakas spirit
The official battle cry, #PinasPinakamalakas, is more than just a slogan. It’s a celebration of Filipino passion and unity. As part of this, MPL PH has lined up activities to get fans involved. Road to M6 events bring communities together for nationwide watch parties, while the Road to M6 Community Tournament lets aspiring players shine—and the winner gets an all-expenses-paid trip to the Grand Finals in Malaysia.
Here’s the tournament’s format:
- Qualifiers (Nov 20-23): Best-of-1 elimination, narrowing down to 16 teams.
- Group Stage (Nov 25-28): Single round-robin to determine the top eight.
- Playoffs (Nov 29-30): Quarterfinals (best-of-1), semifinals (best-of-3), and the Grand Finals (best-of-5).
Flow G and the anthem of unity
Rapper Flow G joins the celebration with Pinas Pinakamalakas, an official anthem dropping November 23. This song encapsulates the Filipino fighting spirit, featuring some of the biggest MPL PH stars, including Renejay and Kelra. The music video is a must-watch for anyone who believes in the power of Filipino unity.
Watch parties and prizes
From November 28 to December 15, Filipino fans are in for a treat with the M6 Watch Fest. Join over 180 watch parties across schools, barangays, and popular hangouts—or catch the action online through streams hosted by pro players and influencers. Share your viewing experiences on TikTok or Facebook, and you might win iPads, gaming phones, or headphones!
