Team Zone Continues to Prove Their Wildcard Worth

After turning heads during the Wildcard Stage, Team Zone continued their impressive run with a clean win over fellow wildcard qualifier Boostgate Esports. The matchup showcased Team Zone’s growing confidence on the international stage, as they dictated the pace from mid-game onward and never allowed Boostgate to regain control.

From the start of the draft, Team Zone banned out Boostgate Esports’ comfort picks, specifically Kazue’s Hayabusa and Identity’s Selena. 

The victory gives Team Zone another crucial Swiss win and reinforces the narrative that they are far more than just a surprise entry. Their discipline around objectives and controlled teamfight execution stood out, especially against a Boostgate roster known for aggressive openings.

With this result, Team Zone firmly places themselves among the more dangerous rising teams in the Swiss pool in the 1-1 bracket while Boostgate Esports goes to 0-2, to start their Bo3 matches in the near future.

Team Liquid Moves Closer to the Golden Road

Few teams have looked as composed and dominant as Team Liquid, who picked up yet another convincing win, this time against Team Falcons. From draft to execution, Team Liquid displayed traits of what the current world champions look like in the world stage.

Their early-game map control translated seamlessly into mid-game pressure, choking out Team Falcons’ resources and leaving little room for counterplay. As the Swiss Stage progresses, Team Liquid’s form continues to fuel discussions of a potential “golden road” run, a first ever  possible achievement in MLBB esports. With every victory, Team Liquid strengthens their claim as a championship contender and a benchmark for consistency at M7.

Selangor Red Giants Extend Their Winning Momentum

Selangor Red Giants added another statement win to their Swiss campaign by taking down Team Spirit, extending their positive run and keeping their momentum alive. The Malaysian side executed a controlled game plan, showing patience in fights and immediate decisiveness when closing out their match against one of the top contenders, Team Spirit.

Their ability to neutralize Team Spirit’s skirmish attempts was almost like they knew every movement they made. Selangor Red Giants consistently found favorable engagements and capitalized on late-game advantages after their quick shot calls on executing teamfights.

The win reinforces Selangor Red Giants as a steady and reliable force in the Swiss Stage, a team capable of matching up well against international opposition. With their win streak intact, Selangor Red Giants now finds themselves in a strong position heading into the next round.

Yangon Galacticos Upsets Tournament Favorites ONIC

While the Myanmar region is known for their teams to be dark horses, Yangon Galacticos is no exception to this, as they’ve won against tournament favorites and hometown heroes, ONIC. Their early aggression and teamfight execution caught ONIC off-guard, as they didn’t expect Yangon Galacticos to group together early to take neutral objectives.

The Myanmar squad continued to snowball their lead as they choked ONIC out of their resources, eventually locking the tournament favorites to stay put in their base.

A game-winning initiation by Blink’s Hylos eliminated 3 players from ONIC, giving them the advantage to push early, before the 14-minute mark, making it one of the earliest wins currently in the M7 Swiss Stage. Yangon Galacticos moves to the 2-0 bracket alongside Team Liquid, Alter Ego, and Selangor Red Giants, while ONIC stays with the 1-1 bracket.
