Aurora Gaming PH has claimed the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) M7 World Championship title after an emphatic performance in the grand finals in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Filipino squad shut out Indonesia’s Alter Ego Esports with a 4–0 sweep in the best-of-seven series to secure the championship and continue the Philippines’ longstanding dominance in MLBB esports.
Flawless Finals Performance
The grand final at the Tennis Indoor Senayan saw Aurora Gaming PH control every map from start to finish. Their early pressure and coordinated teamfights left Alter Ego struggling to gain traction, as Aurora dictated tempo and objectives throughout the series. By the time the championship victory was sealed, Alter Ego had not managed to take a single game from the Filipinos; a rare clean sweep at the sport’s highest stage.
Team Highlights and MVP
Key players stepped up throughout the finals. Dylan “Light” Catipon delivered a standout performance that earned him Finals MVP honors, particularly with his impactful plays that helped maintain momentum and control. Veteran Edward “Edward” Dapadap also reinforced his reputation as one of the top MLBB competitors, adding another world title to his résumé with a performance that balanced aggression and strategic play.
Aurora’s victory was backed by strong showings from their full roster, with multiple players contributing clutch plays that helped secure crucial objectives and maintain map dominance during the finals.
Prize and Legacy
With their victory, Aurora Gaming PH claimed the $320,000 championship prize from the $1,000,000 total purse of the M7 World Championship. Runners-up Alter Ego Esports earned $150,000, while Selangor Red Giants secured third place with $90,000.
This win adds to the Philippines’ legacy in MLBB esports, marking another world title for the region. Filipino teams have now won six consecutive M-Series world championships; a run that traces back through multiple iterations of the tournament.
The Road to the Title
Aurora’s path to the finals wasn’t a straight line, they initially stumbled in the early stages of the tournament but found their stride in the knockout rounds, where their disciplined drafting and execution helped them overcome tough opponents like Team Liquid PH and Selangor Red Giants on the way to their grand final berth.
Once in the finals, Aurora’s combination of strategic macro play, objective control, and decisive teamfights set them apart, enabling the team to secure a historic 4–0 sweep that few expected at the outset of the championship.
