This year’s M5 World Championship will see its first ever Chinese team during the Wildcard Tournament, with KeepBest Gaming securing the slot.
As we quickly approach the beginning of the M5 World Championship, there is a new aspect which we have to face first – the Wildcard Tournament. This tournament will give two teams a chance of reaching the M5 Group Stage, and this year will see a brand-new region involved as China enter the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang sphere.
Unfortunately, the China qualifier for the M5 Wildcard Tournament was not broadcast outside of the region, and thus we did not get to see what went on. However, what we do know is that the team which came out on top is KeepBest Gaming, who will get to show off their talents in just a few weeks against some rather tough opposition. While the CN MLBB industry has only just kicked off, there may be a chance for some major upsets from the team if they can match the strength of Southeast Asia, MENA, or South America.
We will have to keep a close eye on the team and the region to see exactly what they can come up with in the way of strategy and picks. We are all excited to see the region finally enter M5 and hope that they can impress everyone with some off-meta plays as we countdown the days until the M5 Wildcard Tournament.
