The crowning of a champion
The GO1 World Championship (GO1) crowned its first world champions on 25 January! Eastern Europe and Central Asia’s (EECA) Emil “TTTS FLOXY” Sagetdinov outplayed a tightly-contested field of eight finalists to earn his place on the world stage. The tournament marked MCGG’s first offline global championship, representing a key milestone in the expansion of the title’s competitive ecosystem.
Gao Chong, said: “With MOONTON Games at the forefront of esports, strategically, GO1 plays a key role in shaping how we lead the global landscape. MCGG is built on democratic and accessible competition, meaning esports talent from all walks of life have a chance to emerge as champions. Running GO1 alongside the M Series gives aspiring players a shot at the spotlight while helping us discover and nurture talent across regions. This approach allows us to build a competitive ecosystem—one where emerging players can compete at the highest levels and contribute to the reach of esports worldwide.”
“The GO1 World Championship reached a peak viewership of 290,546, setting a new all-time record for the discipline and surpassing the previous peak by approximately 75%. This performance places GO1 among the fastest-growing esports titles and highlights the strong competitive potential not only of the game itself, but of the auto battler genre as a whole,” said Viktor Proniakin, Product Manager of Esports Charts.
MCGG emerged as a standout title of 2025. The game surpassed 30 million downloads within two weeks of its Global Launch and received the 2025 Google Play Best Game Award in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. This momentum has been complemented by its robust competitive structure, which spans international, regional, local, and community tournaments. In 2025, the title celebrated a major milestone at the 33rd SEA Games as the first mobile Auto Chess game to feature at the event. Its debut placed MCGG representatives alongside the region’s most established sporting athletes.
