M7 World Championship Swiss Stage Day 7 recap – Quick but painful matches

Day 7 of the Mobile Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) M7 World Championship Swiss Stage matches were quick but filled with intense and painful moments. Team Spirit, Yangon Galacticos, and ONIC ID secured their well-deserved Knockout Stage slots. Unfortunately, this also means CFU Gaming, CG Esports, and Team Falcons will have to say goodbye to their world stage dream.

That said, here is a quick recap of what happened in the M7 World Championship Swiss Stage Day 7.

The final day of the Swiss Stage featured six teams competing for the three remaining Knockout Stage slots in the M7 World Championship.

Team Spirit wasted no time in their Day 7 Game 1 match in the M7 Swiss Stage, drafting an aggressive composition that kept CFU Gaming on the back foot from start to finish. TS Mathaios “KidBomba” Chatzilakos opted for an EXP lane Valentina, a mage capable of copying enemy ultimates, a choice that quickly turned into a nightmare for CFU. Their EXP laner, Vann “Wadu” Dane on Sora, struggled to hold the lane, as KidBomba consistently outplayed him. By the end of the game, KidBomba posted an impressive 1/1/15 KDA, and Team Spirit closed out Game 1 in dominant fashion with an 18–2 kill scoreline.

Game 2 followed a similar script. Anton “Hiko” Pak snowballed early on Granger, erupting for a Savage at the 12-minute mark. CFU’s Wadu attempted to keep his team in the game with a Yu Zhong pick, but a costly mistake during the Lord fight at 13 minutes proved decisive. Team Spirit capitalized with a full team wipe, leaving no one to defend the base. The Russian squad marched straight to the enemy crystal to secure a clean 2–0 victory and book their spot in the Knockout Stage.

Game 1 featured another surprising draft from Yangon Galacticos, with Htet “Stitch” Aung locking in Freya for the Gold Lane. CG Esports, meanwhile, gambled on a late-game Claude pick for Amar Haziq “Amzziq” Abdul Muaz. The contrast in approaches quickly became apparent, as YG’s aggressive setup turned team fights into a nightmare for CG. By the 12-minute mark, Yangon Galacticos had already built a commanding lead with nine kills and an 11,000-gold advantage, while CG Esports struggled to find any openings for game-changing plays. With little room to recover, CG eventually folded, allowing YG to take Game 1 of the best-of-three series.

With their Knockout Stage hopes on the line, Game 2 saw CG Esports roll the dice on an unconventional mid-lane Cecilion pick for Muhammad Danial “Ciku” Mohamad, a composition that relied heavily on reaching the late game to come online. Yangon Galacticos, however, opted for a more meta-friendly draft built around Sora and Claude. Although CG managed to stay afloat in the early game despite conceding major objectives, YG’s map control and gold lead steadily grew after the 10-minute mark. The Cecilion gamble ultimately failed to pay off, as CG misplayed a crucial team fight at 22 minutes, resulting in a wipeout that allowed Yangon Galacticos to end the game and sweep the series.

Game 1 saw both teams willing to risk everything from the opening minutes of the M7 Swiss Stage Day 7. Team Falcons threw their resources into securing early objectives, even at the cost of losing multiple members. That gamble backfired badly, as ONIC ID quickly built a commanding lead, over 4,000 gold and eight kills by the seven-minute mark. From there, ONIC went on the offensive, repeatedly diving Falcons under their own turrets. Kairi “Kairi” Rayosdelsol led the charge on Hayabusa, scoring a triple kill and capping it off with a wipeout. The damage was immediate: Falcons lost most of their outer turrets and map control within 10 minutes, allowing ONIC ID to march straight down mid lane and close the game in under 12 minutes.

Game 2 told a very different story. Shaking off their Game 1 misstep, Team Falcons drafted a more aggressive composition, with Bien “Boyet” Chumecera stepping outside his comfort picks to lock in Hayabusa. Supported by Muath “Cuffin” Alkoraini’s Zhuxin and Ayman “Sanji” Alqarni’s Gloo controlling team fights, Falcons flipped the script and took control of the map. By the 11-minute mark, the MENA squad held a dominant lead with 14 kills and a massive 10,000-gold advantage. ONIC ID managed to secure their second Lord at 18 minutes. But they had to commit everything to do so, losing several members in the process. The comeback attempt fell short, as Falcons calmly waited for the next Lord, secured it uncontested. With a massive lead, the MENA squad pushed down mid lane to force a deciding game.

With a Knockout Stage berth on the line, Game 3 saw ONIC ID go all out. Kairi locked in Joy, while Shevenko “Skylar” Tendean picked Granger. Backed by a durable composition, Skylar snowballed out of control, racking up eight kills by the 10-minute mark. ONIC ID’s lead grew so overwhelming that Team Falcons were largely confined to their base. Despite Falcons’ disciplined base defense extending the game, they had no real way back. ONIC ID eventually closed out Game 3 in convincing fashion, securing their spot in the Knockout Stage.
