MANILA—Turkiye's Ulfhednar delivered a dominant performance in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) M6 World Championship Wildcard Finals, sweeping Russia's Insilio, 3-0, to clinch a coveted spot in the tournament’s Swiss Stages.

From start to finish, Ulfhednar showcased superior map control, macro execution, and team synergy, leaving no room for Insilio to mount a meaningful comeback. 

The Turkish squad now advances to the Swiss Stage, where they will face North America's champions BloodThirsty Kings on Thursday.

Ulfhednar set the tone early in Game 1, dominating objective control by securing multiple Turtles and out-rotating Insilio across the map. 

A critical Hayabusa diversion in the middle game dismantled Insilio’s defenses, leaving only their bottom lane turret standing.

Insilio showed signs of life as Bruno scaled with key damage items, but Ulfhednar’s Harith and Luo Yi duo overwhelmed their backline with relentless bursts of magic damage. 

Despite a last-ditch effort from Insilio to capitalize on a crucial Ulfhednar mistake, a decisive fountain lock by APEX47’s Chou secured the win for the Turkish squad.

Insilio started Game 2 strong, leveraging early-game aggression to take the lead. 

However, Ulfhednar’s Bruno and Joy hit their midgame power spikes, swinging momentum firmly back in their favor. 

Tienzy’s Joy shredded Insilio’s lineup with electrifying mobility, dictating the pace of team fights.

Though Insilio managed to hold on after Joy’s untimely death during a crucial clash, Sunshine’s Bruno proved to be the ultimate difference-maker.

With impeccable positioning and precision, Sunshine dismantled Insilio’s frontline and finished the game flawlessly, securing Ulfhednar’s second win.

The third game was a masterclass from Ulfhednar, who crushed Insilio from start to finish. 

Their relentless early-game aggression translated into insurmountable map control, effectively shutting down any hope for a Russian comeback. 

Ulfhednar dismantled towers, dominated skirmishes, and closed out the game in a convincing fashion to complete the sweep.

With this commanding victory, Ulfhednar secures their place in the M6 World Championship Swiss Stage. 

They now set their sights on BloodThirsty Kings of the United States, a formidable opponent known for their aggressive playstyle, in a high-stakes matchup on Thursday.

Insilio, meanwhile, will regroup and look ahead to the next competitive cycle as their M6 journey comes to an end.
