M7 Swiss Stage Day 5 Recap

Aurora Türkiye Outlasts Team Falcons to Reach Knockouts

The headline result of the day belonged to Aurora Türkiye, who edged out Team Falcons in a tense 2–1 series that ultimately secured their ticket to the Knockout Stage.

The series was a back-and-forth affair from the opening map. Aurora struck first with confident skirmishing and solid early-game execution, with their surprise debut pick Harley for Tienzy, with Team Falcons having no answer to it.

Refusing to fold however, Team Falcons recalibrated in Game 2. They tightened their rotations and prioritizing cleaner objective setups to even the series. That’s despite Aurora Türkiye’s early lead in the game.

Game 3 became a test of nerves and discipline. With both teams trading momentum throughout the mid game. Aurora Türkiye’s patience in teamfights and smarter control around neutral objectives made the difference. Their ability to wait for the right engage, rather than forcing risky plays, allowed them to close out the decider. With that, they’re a lock in the Knockout Stage spot after M7 Swiss Stage Day 5 .

For Aurora Türkiye, the win was more than just a series victory; it was a statement of composure under pressure. For Team Falcons, the loss leaves their Swiss Stage campaign hanging by a thread as they now face a far more difficult road ahead in MLBB Esports at M7.

Aurora Gaming PH Sweeps Team Spirit

Earlier in the day, Aurora Gaming PH delivered one of the cleanest performances of the round, sweeping Team Spirit 2–0 in convincing fashion in M7 Swiss Stage Day 5.

From the opening minutes, Team Spirit asserted control over the map, dictating the tempo with proactive rotations and well-timed objective plays. Aurora Gaming PH however had one masterful team fight that turned the tides heavily in their favor, to pushing straight for the base, earning the first point of the series.

In the second game, Team Spirit struggled to find openings, often reacting rather than setting up their own win conditions, especially with the surprise pick of Chip making an appearance in the world stage.

All it took was Aurora’s crisp teamfight coordination and disciplined macro play to ensure them their win. No matter if the gold lead was in their favor or not.

The win for Aurora Gaming PH firmly puts them in the Knockouts Stage, while Team Spirit now finds themselves in a precarious position with one more chance to qualify further after M7 Swiss Stage Day 5 .

Team Liquid Finds Its Footing Against Yangon Galacticos

After suffering a minor setback earlier in the Swiss Stage against one of the best matches in M7 so far, Team Liquid showed why they remain one of the tournament favorites, bouncing back with a dominant 2–0 win over Yangon Galacticos.

Liquid approached the series with renewed focus, opting for safer engagements and tighter map control. That loss against Selangor Red Giants added more fuel to their fire of wanting the championship more in M7. Rather than overextending, they patiently built advantages through objectives and calculated fights, suffocating Yangon Galacticos’ chances to contest key areas of the map.

The result was a composed and clinical sweep that reaffirmed Liquid’s championship pedigree. More importantly, the victory puts them back on track toward what many consider the golden road:

A clean path through the Swiss Stage and into the Knockouts with momentum firmly on their side in M7 Swiss Stage Day 5 .

If Liquid can maintain this level of consistency, they remain a serious threat to make a deep run at M7.

Swiss Stage Stakes Reach the First Boiling Point

Day 5 underscored just how unforgiving the Swiss Stage format can be. One clutch series win can secure advancement, while a single loss can dramatically complicate a team’s chances of survival.

Aurora Türkiye’s hard-fought triumph highlighted the value of discipline and mental fortitude, while Team Liquid’s rebound emphasized the importance of resilience after defeat. Meanwhile, teams like Team Falcons and Team Spirit now face must-win scenarios as the Swiss Stage nears its conclusion after M7 Swiss Stage Day 5.
