The M7 World Championship officially kicked off in early 2026. The M7 World Championship began with the Wild Card round from January 3-6, 2026, and then continued with the Swiss Stage from January 10-17, 2026, and then the Knockout Stage from January 18, 21-25, 2026. The M7 World Championship Wild Card round went quite well.

The M7 World Championship Wild Card round featured many exciting matches. However, there were also some interesting facts you should know. Hmmm, what interesting facts about the M7 World Championship Wild Card round should you know? There are certainly many, from players who stole the public's attention to the return of a highly sought-after "Viral" figure.

Fun Facts about the M7 World Championship Wild Card

Continuing the previous explanation, as we know, the M7 Wild Card round has been running since January 3, 2026. And according to the established rundown, the M7 Wild Card round will only last until Tuesday, January 6, 2026, so we can move on to the Swiss Stage and Knockout Stage. However, there are some exciting things you should know.

Several interesting facts were presented in this M7 Wild Card round. What are they? Here are the full details:

5. Officially Supported Provincial Teams

Fifth place is an interesting fact about one of the newcomer teams in the M7 Wild Card round: Guangzhou Gaming (GZG) from China. As the name suggests, this team is from Guangzhou, China. And what's no less interesting is that this team receives support from the Guangzhou city government, China, to compete in the competitive Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) scene.

This fact was revealed during Guangzhou Gaming's (GZG) first match against AXE MENA. The name "Guangzhou" was not placed casually on the team's identity. Guangzhou Gaming became the first Chinese MLBB team to use the name of a provincial capital, with direct support from Guangzhou. Interesting, isn't it? Kudos to Guangzhou Gaming (GZG).

4. Wild Card Round Gives 2 Tickets to the Swiss Stage

Another interesting aspect of the M7 Wild Card round this time is the change in the tickets awarded to the Swiss Stage. Previously, only one team from the Wild Card round could advance to the Swiss Stage. However, this time, two teams were selected, increasing the chances of competing in the Swiss Stage and giving all teams a chance to perform better in the Wild Card.

3. The Impressive Arrival of Katsu, ZETA Division's Mid Laner

In third place, we'll discuss the skilled Mid Laner from ZETA Division, Katsu. Katsu's presence as ZETA Division's Mid Laner immediately became a topic of conversation among MLBB fans in Indonesia. His appearance, which appears to be female, led to Katsu being believed to be the first female player on the MLBB World Championship stage, especially in M7. However, this is not the case, as Katsu is actually a man named Mark Hiro Iwasaki.

While the fact that Katsu isn't a woman has made some fans sad and disappointed, every time ZETA Division performs, fans still support Katsu to give their best performance in the M7 Wild Card. Who's surprised by this? Don't be sad, guys.

2. Tezet's Arrival as Boostgate Esports Coach

In the M7 Wild Card round, a familiar face returns to Indonesia. Instead of the MPL, he's heading straight to the M7 World Championship: Yosua "Tezet" Sanger. Tezet is a skilled coach who successfully revived AURA Esports at the time. Transitioning from player to coach, Tezet's potential is quite significant, and he's now proving himself with the Turkish team, Boostgate Esports.

Tezet admitted that he's only been coaching this Turkish team for a year. Armed with the tenacity, skill, and immense potential of its players, Boostgate Esports is considered a dark horse in the M7 Wild Card round, and this is certainly due to the influence and impact of Tezet behind the scenes. Don't miss the exciting behind-the-scenes action behind each of their matches.

1. Vren's Reappearance with Guangzhou Gaming

And at number one, we're back to Guangzhou Gaming (GZG), where they're officially coached by the renowned MLBB coach from the Philippines, Vrendon "Vren" Lin. Vren's name is certainly familiar to many MLBB fans in Indonesia. Vren coached two Indonesian MLBB teams, RRQ Hoshi and Bigetron Alpha, before achieving major success with AP BREN at the M5 World Championship.

Vren's reappearance in the M7 Wild Card round has been dubbed "El Comeback," after he was previously described as "disappearing" while coaching RRQ Hoshi. Now, Vren is trying to recapture the glory he once had with AP BREN by leading Guangzhou Gaming (GZG). Let's wait and see what Vren's journey with GZG will be like at the M7 World Championship.
