Background edit

M3 is the third series of the Mobile Legends World Championship and is held in the same year as the second series was held in the same nation. M3 features 16 teams with each qualifying for their regional or national qualifiers known as the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League or MPL. These teams were all announced on the same day with their roster on 25 November 2021.[3] M3 features 11 Asian Teams, 1 North American Team, 1 Arabian-Region Team and 3 Latin American Teams.[4]

Coronavirus edit

The COVID-19 pandemic, was a severe challenge for the organizers of the World Championships as the venue in Singapore provided strict health regulations provided by the Government as well as the players travelling from abroad. However, on 8 August 2021, Moonton, the developer of the game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang announced and confirmed that M3 will be happening by the end of 2021.[5][6]

Qualified teams and rosters edit

Qualified teams edit

Qualifying for the M3 World Championships comes from the competing nation's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League, commonly known as "MPL". However, regional qualifiers in the CIS Region, North America, Arabia, and Latin American regions were also held to broaden the reach of the Championship's teams.[citation needed]

The defending World Champions in Bren Esports would not be redeemed to repeat back-to-back championship titles due to them having a non-playoff contention in MPL Philippines Season 8 that was ultimately won by Blacklist International in 5 games.

The Other team would be Bren Esports[26] who won the M2 World Title in the same year.

Grand Finals edit

With ONIC Philippines and Blacklist International in the Grand Finals, it would be the second rematch between both teams after both teams were the eventual runner-up and Champions of MPL Philippines Season 8. The Grand Finals was held on 19 December 2021.

Game 1 of M3 began with the introduction of the players and rosters of both teams. Blacklist International with their Championship Lineup and the "Death Lineup" called by ONIC Philippines that led them to a 9-0 contest in the Upper Bracket.

With an early lead in the early stages of the game, ONIC Philippines was destined to win the matchup after the first turtle take was immediately stolen by Kairi, however, with the amazing defense that Blacklist International brought, they would lead the series 1–0 against ONIC with Marksman Oheb with the Clint as the MVP.

Game 2 would merely shape the same drafting of heroes' in the hero pool yet changed with some tactics and plans laid down by both Coaches Yeb and Bon Chan of ONIC and Blacklist, respectively. With a great early game lead taken by ONIC Philippines, it would immediately be a turnout same as Game Number 1 as the Beatrix in OHEB began to increase its damage, severely damaging the tactics of ONIC Philippines. Blacklist International would eventually take Game 2 against ONIC.

Edward, 5/4/7
Blacklist International leads, 3-0

Going for a double marksman lineup, Blacklist International was easily taking the lead in the early game. Yet with the counter from Baloyskie's Lolita, it seemed that it will try and close the gap of Blacklist's lead in the early game. With the first Turtle going for Kairi and the second turtle on Wise, it stays at a close match.

8 minutes into the game, ONIC Philippines made an impressive diversion play on the bottom lane after killing three out of five of Blacklist's players. With back-and-forth lead takes by both teams, Blacklist International would inevitably win Game 3 and will be needing only one more game to win the title.

Game MVP
Wise, 6/0/3 (based on Statistics)
Blacklist International wins, 4-0

With a 3–0 lead, Blacklist is destined to finish the series in only 4 games yet ONIC PH would simply try to draft out Blacklist in the process, stealing the Barats and the Pharsa picks from both Wise and Hadji, respectively, as well as putting more defense and damage by Natalia. However, Blacklist would stick to the double-marksman strategy from Game 3 after the banning of Uranus of Dlarskie.

With a great damage output by the Natan-core led by Wise, alongside the impressive defense on the outer turrets by Blacklist International, they were able to finish the series in a 4–0 series sweep, the first World Championship sweep by any team in the history of MLBB World. Alongside making history for making the Philippines the first and only so-far, nation to hold back-to-back Championship titles in the M-Series. Alongside named as the "Filipino Sniper" in OHEB being crowned as Finals MVP.

Controversy edit

On 23 December 2021, circulating on Facebook was the hashtag "#WeWantEstes"[28] that was ultimately a protest hashtag by the MLBB Filipino community to Moonton for their cancellation on the creation of the Estes skin, previously picked by Finals MVP Oheb for it was their trademark hero ever since they competed in M3 alongside MPL Philippines. On the same day, Moonton released a statement stating that "We would like to clarify that the M3 Champion Skin has not yet been determined, and development is still underway".[29]

Fans of Blacklist International, who are the champions of M3, were angered and flustered about the cancellation of the Estes skin picked by the team as it was stated by player OhMyV33NUS[30] that the Estes skin would be cancelled after Moonton denied the creation of an Estes skin because it was not "marketable". Moonton has asked him for three different and alternative heroes that can ultimately be Estes' replacements which were Beatrix, Yi Sun-Shin, and Mathilda. All three trademark heroes of Blacklist International.

Ultimately on 24 December, meeting with the creative management of Moonton, alongside Tier One Entertainment's co-founders in Alodia Gosiengfiao and Tryke Gutierrez, Estes would be the official M3 Championship hero that will obtain skin from the team of Blacklist International. The announcement came with the hashtag "#WeChooseEstes".
