The Group Stage of the MLBB M4 World Championship, a prestigious tournament with a prize pool of $800K, ended on January 4 after presenting thrilling battles between 16 squads over four days. It featured four groups of four teams each, competing in a single round-robin format. The event was held at the Bali United Studio in Indonesia.
The top two squads from each group have been seeded into the upper bracket of the World Championship's Knockout phase, while the bottom two sides have been placed in the lower bracket. The upper-bracket teams will have an advantage. Even if they lose a match, they will get to fight in the lower bracket. Unfortunately, the remaining squads will be eliminated from the tournament if they lose a single game.
Falcon Esports and Blacklist International topped Group A and will face Onic and RRQ Akira, respectively, in the Knockout phase. Both sides won two matches and lost one in the Group Stage. Burn x Team Flash's players did not appear confident and lost all three of their battles.
Todak displayed admirable gameplay in Group B, winning all three of their encounters and taking the pole position. Onic Esports lost their first match but managed to win their next two and finished second in the table. MDH couldn't win a single match in the Group Stage.
In Group C, Team Echo stayed unbeaten and secured the top place in the charts. On the other hand, popular Indonesian MLBB squad RRQ Hoshi was right behind them with two wins. Occupy Thrones from Egypt failed to defeat any teams in their group.
