Team Spirit Triumphs Over Formidable Falcon Esports Challenge
Both teams entered the MLBB M6 Championship with a point to prove. While Falcon Esports aimed to showcase the skills of the Myanmar region, Team Spirit sought to demonstrate that they are here to fight for the title.
Falcon Esports came into the game after a narrow 3-2 defeat against Fnatic ONIC, while Team Spirit had knocked out the home team, Vamos, a day earlier. Falcon also had a stronger showing in the Swiss Stage, finishing third and securing victories against Aurora and defending MSC champions, Selangor Red Giants.

Despite Falcon’s impressive run, Team Spirit’s tactical strategies proved too much for them. The CIS team started with back-to-back victories, leaving Falcon needing a clean reverse sweep to make a comeback. Although Falcon managed to win one game, they fell in Game 4, handing the series to Team Spirit.
Team Spirit now moves to the next round of the lower bracket. However, the action will shift to the main stage at the Axiata Arena. Team Spirit will face either RRQ or Selangor Red Giants for a spot in the lower bracket finals.
Can Team Spirit Go All the Way?

While this victory has already secured the team a top-4 finish—a truly incredible performance—many are asking whether they can go all the way. The competition from here will only grow tougher as they face giants from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines in the remaining games.
Selangor Red Giants are on a resurgence as they aim to complete a dream lower bracket run to the championship. RRQ and Team Liquid ID are determined to bring the M World Championship back to Indonesia. Lastly, Fnatic ONIC, one of the favorites this year, is in sublime form.
The path ahead for Team Spirit is undoubtedly challenging. If they manage to win it all, it will go down in history as one of the greatest underdog performances of all time. Even if they fall short, Team Spirit can return home with their heads held high after an exceptional MLBB M6 performance.
