The journey to the M7 World Championship has begun in all regions. This includes the MPL MENA, where several renowned Middle Eastern esports teams battled it out in the intense MPL MENA S8 league some time ago. The playoffs featured prominent esports teams including Team Falcons, Twisted Minds, Axe, Team Occupy, Xproject Esports, and Geekay Esports.

The Grand Final ultimately pitted two of the strongest teams against each other: Team Falcons and Team Axe. Previously, Team Falcons had swept the Upper Bracket Semifinals and Finals. Meanwhile, Team Axe, having previously been relegated to the Lower Bracket, managed to sweep aside Team Occupy and Twisted Minds. Ultimately, Team Falcons emerged victorious and qualified for the M7 World Championship.

Team Falcons Qualify for the M7 World Championship, MPL MENA Sets New Record!

Season 8 of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Middle East and North Africa (MPL MENA) has concluded with Team Falcons soaring to victory as the first team to qualify for the M7 World Championship (M7) in Indonesia. AXE MENA (previously Ultra Legends), the second placed team, qualify to the M7 Wild Card Stage. The Grand Finals, held at the Mall of Egypt in Cairo, marked the league's first-ever official event in Egypt and set a new milestone for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Esports' Global expansion.

The Grand Finals on 17 October welcomed more than 1,000 attendees, turning the venue into a hub of passion, pride and competitive spirit. Fans arrived hours before the event, filling multiple levels of the mall to witness the summit clash between Team Falcons and AXE MENA. The energy was electric from start to finish as Team Falcons won 4-1 in the best-of-seven series to complete a perfect season-ten matches, zero defeats, not a single series lost. Their triumph was also sweet revenge as after falling short to Ultra Legends in last season's Grand Finals.

MPL MENA Stands With Breast Cancer Awareness

The Grand Finals saw MPL MENA declare its support for Pink October, a global health campaign in October dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer, promoting early detection and screening, and supporting those affected by the disease. MPL MENA hosts and broadcast talent donned pink ribbons throughout the event; online, the league promoted positive messaging via its owned channels and official broadcasts.

The campaign reflects MPL MENA's ongoing commitment to leveraging esports as a positive cultural force aligned with Olympic values of inclusivity and social responsibility, with MLBB set to feature as medalled esports events at the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games 2025 in Thailand and the 2026 Asian Games in Japan. This ethos also extends to the global MLBB Esports ecosystem, exemplified by the MLBB Women's Inviational (MWI) at the 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC) as the first and only women's tournament featured at the international competition. Such milestones underscore MOONTON Games' vision of building an inclusive and representative global esports landscape, where all players and fans can find belonging and opportunity.

From Cairo to Riyadh, from MENA to Southeast Asia and beyond, we're committed to creating inclusive, world-class experiences that elevate local talent and unite fans everywhere. With initiatives like the MWI at EWC 25, we're proud to be setting new benchmarks for inclusivity and opportunity in esports."

As Team Falcons and AXE MENA prepare to represent MENA on the global stage at M7, the region continues to rise as one of MLBB's most promising competitive arenas-driving forward MOONTON Games mission to empower communities, celebrate diversity and connect the world through esports.

Ray menambahkan "Looking ahead, we will continue to deepen our efforts to further strengthen MPL MENA's position within the global MLBB Esports ecosystem. The regional league is already MENA's fastest-growing sports entertainment property, but we want to supercharge this next season, when we expect to welcome new brands and players into our ecosystem. In fact, we have exciting global expansion plans that extend far beyond MENA next year; stay tuned for updates on new regions to come."
