AE & ONIC: One Life in Mobile Legends

Suara.com – The M7 World Championship or M7 Mobile Legends World Championship entered the Knockout round this week. The following is the latest M7 Mobile Legends schedule, complete with the Knockout Stage Bracket.

As a reference, 16 teams have competed in the Swiss Stage for the period 10-17 January 2026.

Alter Ego became the first team to qualify for the Knockout with a 3-0 record.

Contrary to 180 degrees, ONIC, who was the MPL ID S16 Champion, actually stumbled on the Swiss Stage.

After suffering two Bo1 defeats, the Yellow Hedgehog holds a Playoff ticket with a score of 3-2.

The Swiss Stage itself is a phase to filter 16 teams into just 8 teams in the Knockout.

The list of teams that passed the Knockout Stage includes: Alter Ego (Indonesia), Selangor Red Giants (Malaysia), Team Liquid PH (Philippines), Aurora PH (Philippines), Aurora Gaming (Turkey), Team Spirit (MCC S6 Champions, Russia), Yangon Galacticos (Myanmar), and ONIC (Indonesia).

Interestingly enough, the draw made by Ihsan Luminaire (one of the M1 title winners) was quite surprising to many parties.

Alter Ego immediately met ONIC while Team Liquid PH had to face Aurora PH.
