BRAZIL, 14 October – Maycam Evolve have dethroned the Kings of LATAM in their debut season to become the second team to qualify for the M6 World Championship! The Argentinian team executed an immaculate 4-0 clean sweep of defending champions, RRQ Akira, in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) LATAM Season 2 Grand Final yesterday (13 October) to qualify for the flagship Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) esports tournament. They also took home USD 8,000 of the tournament's USD 28,000 prize pool.
Dubbed "The Kings of MLBB in LATAM", RRQ Akira have won every single tournament on the continent that they have participated in – from MPL Brazil Season 2 to Season 5, as well as MPL LATAM Season 1. The multi-gaming organisation also holds a record 33-match winning streak, from MPL Brazil Season 2 to the M4 World Championship.
As the first runner-up of MPL LATAM, RRQ Akira qualify for the M6 Wild Card Stage, joining The MongolZ, who qualified last month after winning the ESN National Championship 2024. RRQ Akira also received USD 6,000 from the MPL LATAM Season 2 purse.
The M Series is a world-class, globalised championship that represents the pinnacle of competitive MLBB gaming. The sixth edition will be hosted in Malaysia, commencing with the Wild Card Stage, where eight teams will compete for a single slot on the Main Stage. The Main Stage will bring together the world's strongest 16 MLBB teams – including the Wild Card winner – to compete for a USD 1 million prize pool.
MPL LATAM is the top MLBB professional league in Latin America and features the strongest athletes from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. It was launched in 2024 as a merger of MPL Brazil, MLBB LATAM Super League (MLSL) North, and MLSL South. MPL LATAM is the first MPL hosted outside of Southeast Asia, with MPL Brazil having been launched in 2021.
