The M6 Summit will take place in the same city as of the M6 World Championship which runs from December 13th to 15th. The M6 World Championship is a Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) tournament that will feature 23 teams from across the world competing for a share of a $1m (~£799,000) prize pool. The tournament also received an endorsement from YB Adam Adli, Malaysia’s Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports.
Moreover, the summit will feature sessions from notable speakers including Malaysia’s Minister of Youth and Esports, alongside several MOONTON Games executives including Lucas Mao, Managing Director of MLBB Esports and Mike Chu, Head of China and Regional Esports Events.
MOONTON Games are also aiming to hold discussions with female esports players including the likes of Team Falcon and Vitality on initiatives to empower women in esports, in an attempt to ‘foster a diverse gaming ecosystem,’ according to a release.
Over the years, MOONTON Games have taken several initiatives to bolster Mobile Legends esports across the SEA esports landscape. In June, MOONTON Games expanded its existing deal with Saudi Arabian tourism project Qiddiya to expand MLBB esports. It is worth noting that Qiddiya also sponsor the M6 Summit.
According to a release, the company is aiming to drive a conversation around inclusivity, alongside ‘the commercialisation of esports, its long-term future and how delegates can together shape the industry.’
