Team Falcons becomes the first to qualify for the M7 World Championship in Indonesia with a dominant MPL MENA Season 8 victory.
Season 8 of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Middle East and North Africa (MPL MENA) reached a thrilling conclusion as Team Falcons soared to an emphatic Grand Finals win in Cairo, Egypt. Their 4-1 triumph over AXE MENA (previously Ultra Legends) not only avenged last season’s heartbreak but also secured their position as the very first team to qualify for the prestigious M7 World Championship (M7), set for January 2025 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Team Falcons Wins MPL MENA Season 8
Hosted at the bustling Mall of Egypt, this was the first-ever official MPL MENA Finals held in Egypt, drawing more than 1,000 passionate fans.
Team Falcons, comprised of stars like Sanji, Boyet, Cuffin, Saano, and Troll, made esports history by winning all ten matches of their season, remaining undefeated in both the regular league and playoffs.
Completing the league without a single defeat, Team Falcons’ victory was even sweeter after falling short against the same rival squad, then Ultra Legends, in last season’s Grand Finals. Their 4-1 triumph was not only for the trophy, but also revenge and redemption.
While Team Falcons secured their main stage M7 World Championship slot, runners-up AXE MENA also earned a valuable reward: a ticket to the M7 Wild Card stage, keeping their world championship dreams alive.

Twenty-five teams from around the world will battle for a $1,000,000 prize pool and the title of world champions. With their MPL MENA win, Team Falcons will join titans from other top leagues, while teams like AXE MENA advance to the Wild Card round for another chance at glory.
