Aurora beat FUT 4–3 to retain Türkiye title; both teams' M8 paths
Aurora head straight to the Istanbul Main Stage; FUT Esports will seek a place through the Bangkok Wild Card.
Türkiye's Aurora Gaming defeated FUT Esports 4–3 in the MLBB Türkiye Championship (MTC) Season 8 Grand Final on November 7. MOONTON confirmed the title defence. Its earlier report said Season 7 was Aurora's third consecutive MTC title, making this their fourth straight championship.
The finalists now have different routes to the M8 World Championship. Aurora have a Main Stage berth in Istanbul, while FUT will travel to the Wild Card in Bangkok, Thailand, to compete for a place there. This is the Turkish Aurora Gaming roster, distinct from Aurora Gaming PH, the MPL Philippines champions.
The M8 Wild Card starts in Bangkok on December 17. Under MOONTON's format, ten teams are split into two five-team single round-robin BO1 groups. Each group winner advances directly; the second- and third-placed teams enter a cross-group, single-elimination BO5 bracket for the final Main Stage spot. FUT's individual opponents and match times have yet to be announced.
MOONTON lists Aurora's lineup as mid laner Rosa, roamer Pagu, EXP laner Lunar, jungler Tienzy and gold laner Sigibum. The Istanbul Main Stage is in January 2027, giving the Turkish champions a world-stage appearance in front of a home crowd.
