Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Team Ulfhednar is M6 Wildcard Team

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang team Ulfhednar from Turkiye secures a spot in the M6 World Championship Swiss Stage, marking a major milestone in their journey.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang team Ulfhednar from Turkiye secured their place in the M6 World Championship Swiss Stage with a dominant 3-0 sweep over Russia’s Insilio. The victory came during the Wildcard Decider held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on November 24, 2024, marking a major milestone for Team Ulfhednar in the global MLBB scene.

The team roster is comprised of Bariş Ali Çakır, Sidar Menteşe, Ahmet Taha Batır, Emre Sarı, and Furkan Akbulut. This will be the core team's third consecutive M-series appearance, after representing Turkey during the M5 World Championship in Manila, under the FireFlux Impunity banner. 

After the dominant win, the Turkish team will now face North America's BloodThirsty Kings in a crucial matchup on Thursday, according to a report by Dugout PH. 

However, Ulfhednar's journey to the Swiss Stage has been marred by controversy. In a pivotal match against China's DianFengYaoGuai (DFYG), DFYG's jungler experienced a technical issue that led to an unusual in-game decision. 

As reported by GosuGamers, the player, Liu "Zzzed" Chenjia, inexplicably walked into an enemy turret, resulting in a team fight loss and a decisive advantage for Ulfhednar.

While DFYG appealed the decision, the M6 Committee ruled that the incident did not meet the specific criteria for a rematch. The committee acknowledged the technical issue but determined that it did not significantly alter the course of the game.

During the match, Zzzed told the referee that a pop-up notification unrelated to the tournament appeared on his phone, preventing him from controlling his character. Tournament operators confirmed this and fixed the issue.

The incident has also prompted the M6 organizers and MOONTON Games to consider implementing measures to prevent similar occurrences in future tournaments, including the development of a rewind feature for competitive matches.

Ulfhednar will join 15 other teams in the M6 Swiss Stage, which will be held on November 28, 2024.
