The annual international tournament was organized by the game developer Moonton, in partnership with several sponsors including the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia.[1] The tournament was held in Jakarta from 1 to 15 January 2023.[2]

Sweeping the defending champions with a 4–0 score, ECHO Philippines defeated Blacklist International in a best-of-seven series to become the fourth World Champions. It marked the second Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championships where two Filipino teams are upper bracket and lower bracket contenders for the said title. It also marked the third consecutive world championship title that a Filipino team has won, beginning in M2.

Karl Gabriel "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno is the first-ever MLBB player who has won two world championships. He would be joined by his former teammates, Kyle "Phewww" Arcangel and David "FlapTzy" Canon to win two world championships after their victories in the MLBB M5 World Championship.

Background edit

The MLBB M4 World Championships was the fourth edition of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship and the first edition of the games to be held in Indonesia. Previously, Malaysia and Singapore held the first three editions of the games, M1 in Kuala Lumpur[3] and M2[4] and M3[5] in Singapore. The tournament was held from 1 to 15 January 2023, surpassing one year of the previous editions of the tournament.[6]

M4 featured sixteen (16) qualified teams from Asia, North America, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Europe and Latin America. Teams qualified through their region's qualification method, whether it will be an MPL Region or a Moonton-approved qualification tournament.

A notable fact is that in every edition of the World Championship, an exclusive battle pass skin and the champion skin will be released. Previously, the Fighter-hero Roger[7] was chosen to be the battle pass skin and the Champions Skin was Estes,[8] picked by Blacklist International. In the current battle pass, the Marksman Hero Beatrix was chosen as the Battle pass skin.[9]

Qualified teams edit

Qualifying for the M4 World Championships comes from the competing nation's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League, commonly known as "MPL." However, regional qualifiers in the North America, Turkey, Myanmar, Mekong (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam), and Latin American regions were also held to broaden the reach of the Championship's teams. [citation needed]

Unlike in the previous MLBB World Championships, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Japan would not participate in the upcoming M4. On the other hand, Mekong and Myanmar will re-join after their absence in the M3 World Championship held in Singapore. The number of qualifiers for Singapore and Brazil has been reduced to one, while the Latin America region will now delegate two teams participating in the world championship.

Venue edit

The M4 World Championship was announced to be held in the capital city of Jakarta, Indonesia.

Marketing edit

During the build-up to the M4 World Championships, the MLBB official YouTube channel, alongside MPL Region YouTube channels such as the Philippines and Indonesia, has released several promotional and publicity videos to promote the upcoming world championships.

In the Philippines, the theme song "PINAS LANG MALAKAS", was released and was sung by KZ Tandingan, featuring Nik Makino.[16] The song included the four prominent members of both qualifying teams of the Philippines, Danerie "Wise." Del Rosario and Jonmar "OhMyV33Nus" Villaluna of Blacklist International, and Karl Gabriel "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno and Tristan "YAWI" Cabrera of ECHO Philippines. The music video also featured Joshua "CH4KNU" Mangilog of Smart Omega and selected shoutcasters of MPL Philippines.[17]

Playoff Bracket edit

M4 featured the same bracketing strategy from the previous MLBB M3 World Championship format,[23] a sixteen-team double-elimination bracketing system wherein the teams will be split into four groups. In these four groups, a round-robin format proceeded to determine which two teams would be qualifying either to the upper bracket or lower bracket.[24] The first two rounds of the lower bracket were a best-of-3 series, the rest of the matches were a best-of-5 series, except for the Grand Final, which were a best-of-7 championship series.
