PTG Database Analysis
The M9 World Championship is the ninth edition of MOONTON Games’ M Series for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. MOONTON’s September 2026 agreement names Visa Global Payment Partner for three consecutive editions from M8 in 2027 to M10 in 2029. M9 is the intervening 2028 edition in that announced term; the notice is a partnership commitment rather than a detailed tournament launch.[1]
The agreement says Visa cardholders will receive preferential ticket access and chances to win VIP Zone access, meet-and-greets and behind-the-scenes tours during the covered editions. It does not specify M9’s host market, dates, format, prize pool, qualifying field or participating clubs. MOONTON’s competition archive also contained no M9-specific event detail at the September 23, 2026 review. The Participants tab therefore remains empty pending confirmed qualifiers.[1][2]
