The road to the M7 Knockout Stage is getting tougher, and the next round of matches could decide who moves forward and who gets left behind.
Based on the latest Swiss Stage brackets shown above, 12 teams remain in contention for the final six spots in the Knockout Stage. With the Swiss format in play, every team is walking a fine line: three wins mean advancement, while three losses bring elimination.
As the tournament heads into Swiss Stage 4, several high-stakes matchups are set to define the next phase of the competition. In the 2–1 bracket, teams pushing to get one step closer to qualification will face off as RORA meets Team Spirit, Team Liquid clashes with YG, and Falcons goes up against AUR. A win in these matches places teams on the brink of the Knockout Stage, while a loss sends them back into danger territory.
Meanwhile, the pressure is even heavier in the 1–2 bracket, where every series is a survival match. CFU will battle Z1, BSE takes on CG, and EVIL faces ONIC. For these teams, one more defeat means the end of their M7 campaign, while a victory keeps their hopes alive heading into the final Swiss round.
The brackets also show a clear divide forming. Teams that have reached a 3–0 record have already secured their spots in the Knockout Stage, while squads at 0–3 have been eliminated after failing to gain momentum early in the tournament.
The Swiss Stage action continues at the MPL Arena XO Hall before the championship shifts to Tenis Indoor Senayan for the Knockout Stage and Grand Finals later in January. With the stakes higher than ever, the next round will reveal which teams are ready to rise to the moment on the road to M7 glory.
