The M7 World Championship has officially rewritten esports history, establishing itself as the most-watched mobile esports event of all time. The tournament was held in Jakarta and saw its highest number of simultaneous viewers at 5.68 million at the Grand Final. This is an enormous feat that broke the prior record of 5.4 million by Free Fire World Series 2021, which had held that position almost five years. The Final of the Lower Bracket of the event was also viewed by a huge number of people reaching 5.59 million, which is a testament to the enormous popularity of the game even prior to the final game.
Mobile Legends dominates the global stage
Mobile Legends continues to cement its dominance in the competitive gaming landscape. It was a decisive win by the tournament with Aurora Gaming PH defeating Alter Ego by a 4-0 margin that astounded millions of fans globally. In addition to high viewership, the event has registered more than 135 million hours watched which is a considerable improvement compared to the past iterations. With record-breaking stats across platforms like TikTok and regional broadcasts in Indonesia and the Philippines, the M7 World Championship has set a new gold standard for the industry, signaling a bright future for the ecosystem.
