Team
Spirit (TS) have etched their names into Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
(MLBB) Esports history. The team (formerly known as Deus Vult) are now
the first to secure six consecutive titles across all MLBB leagues
following their MLBB Continental Championships (MCC) Season 6 victory.
The Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) champions
swept the Grand Finals with a 4-0 win over runner-up,
Virtus.pro (VP), to cap off their impressive season. Despite falling to
VP earlier in the Playoffs, TS fought their way through the Lower
Bracket Finals to reclaim the championship. The team will advance to the
M7 World Championship (M7) Main Stage, while VP will compete in the Wild Card for a chance to face the world's best MLBB teams. Hosted by MOONTON Games, the international video game company, the M7 marks the seventh edition of MLBB's flagship international tournament.
TS is a regional and international powerhouse—widely regarded as the
Dark Horses of the global MLBB stage. The team has consistently
delivered strong performances at the M Series, securing top-four
finishes at both the M5 and M6 World Championships, proving they stand
amongst the world's best. The roster—Alexander "Oneshot" Sharkov,
Kemiran "SunsetLover" Kochkarov, Anton "Hiko" Pak, Mathaios "KidBomba"
Panagiotis Chatzilakos, and Stanislav "SAWO" Reshnyak—blends veteran
experience with strategic gameplay, making TS a formidable contender in
international MLBB Esports.
KidBomba said: "I'm so proud of the boys for this win.
Honestly, it still feels unreal that we've made MLBB Esports history—it
really makes this victory feel even more special. Virtus.pro put up a
tough fight and I'm looking forward to seeing how they do at the M7 Wild
Card. As for us, we'll stay focused, keep up our strong performances,
and show the world what Team Spirit can do. Hopefully, we can make our
region proud and bring back the M Series title to EECA for the first
time!"
With their sixth consecutive MCC title secured, TS has cemented their
legacy as a dominant force in MLBB Esports heading head into the M7. The
team will be aiming to make history once again by bringing home the
region's first M Series world title.
Earlier in the Playoffs, VP made a statement in the Upper Bracket
Finals, securing a 3-1 victory over the champions and sending them down
to the Lower Bracket Finals. The runner-up team has continued to
impress, having
won the MLBB Mid Season Cup (MSC) at the 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC) Wild Card during their international debut.
Their journey to becoming Wild Card champions embodies an underdog
story, having fought their way up from the MCC Season 5 Closed
Qualifiers, demonstrating the growing strength of EECA teams on the
global MLBB stage. VP will now compete in the M7 Wild Card, aiming to
qualify for the Main Stage and establish the region as a force to be
reckoned with.
EECA rounds out MLBB's Great Four
Recognised as the "Dark Horses" of MLBB Esports, EECA has
quickly established itself as one of the most competitive regions on the
global stage. Six-time MCC champions, TS, have secured consecutive top
four finishes at the M Series—a testament to the region's
competitiveness on the world stage. Notably, their breakout performance
at the M5 marked the beginning of the region's emergence as title
contenders.
Building on its growing competitiveness, MCC has continued to push the boundaries of MLBB Esports with implementation of the "
Brave Draft".
Introduced in Season 5, the global ban system prevents teams from
selecting the same hero twice in a match, challenging athletes widen
their hero pools. This saw MCC become the first league leading to an
international MLBB tournament to implement this format, setting a new
standard for the discipline's competitive gameplay. With increased
demand for tactical mastery and versatility, the Brave Draft has forged
EECA teams into established challengers, solidifying their place amongst
MLBB's Great Four Powers.
Ajay Jilka, Head of Esports – EECA at MOONTON Games,
said: "Congratulations to both teams! I can't wait to see them
represent the region on the world stage at the M7. EECA's growth in MLBB
Esports has been remarkable—from an emerging region to a recognised
title contender. Our focus is on sustaining MCC's progress through
continued innovation and ensuring our teams remain competitive on the
international stage. At MOONTON Games, we understand the importance of
building the esports ecosystem from the ground up, and MCC reflects that
approach. Seeing our athletes develop and EECA secure its place among
MLBB's Great Four Powers is a testament to how league development can
elevate a region's talent and competitiveness on the world stage."
Up against the world's best
From 3 to 25 January, the M7 will be staged in Jakarta, Indonesia,
uniting 22 of the world's best teams to compete for the championship
title and the USD 1,000,000 prize pool. Set to be the largest M Series
edition yet, the tournament will turn the nation into a celebration of
gaming, esports, culture, and entertainment. Representing EECA, TS and
VP will head to the heart of MLBB's most passionate fanbase, carrying
the weight of a region that has risen to prominence on the international
MLBB stage.
