With the Myanmar wildcard qualifying round for the upcoming M6 World Championship concluding recently, there is still no news about the South Asian region. The tournament's official Liquipedia page indicates that the entire South Asian regional qualifiers, which include Bangladesh and Nepal, have been disbanded.

While the reason for this exclusion hasn't been revealed, many have speculated that it is likely due to the political instability in Bangladesh. South Asia has previously had strong contenders from Bangladesh and Nepal in MLBB tournaments, contributing to the game's popularity. Teams from the two countries generally fought for a spot through the MLBB Champion Battles.

In other news, Falcon Esports from Myanmar has secured its spot at the M6 World Championship with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Mythic SEAL in the Myanmar qualifier. Despite Mythic SEAL taking an early 2-0 lead with standout performances from Miya and Belerick, Falcon mounted a fierce comeback. In the final match, they overcame a 7k gold deficit with a flawless defense led by Gatot Kaca, Pharsa, and Hylos, sweeping their opponents from base to base. Falcon now joins Singapore's NIP Flash as early qualifiers for the M6 tournament, which kicks off on November 21, 2024, with a $1 million prize pool.

The exclusion of South Asia is a setback for the region's MLBB community, especially given the game's recent reintroduction to India. Moonton has left one Wildcard slot labeled "TBD," leaving hope that South Asia might still get a chance depending on future developments.
