MLBB MY S10 runner-up Todak had a stellar first leg as he won eight of his bouts and lost only one fight to SMG. Both teams have made it directly to the upper bracket semifinals.

On April 27, Red Esports will face RSG in their first match, with the winning team moving on to the next round for a battle against HomeBois. Similarly, the Lunatix will play against Madness and the winner of the series will face the Red Giants.
Team SMG’s Smooth was named Most Valuable Player in the first and second weeks of the event after displaying outstanding performances in several games. Interestingly, her teammate Stormi had the best performance in the third week. Lunatix Jown, Todak CikuGais, and Red Zorn earned MVP titles in weeks four, five, and six, respectively.
The community was shocked when defending champion Team HAQ was eliminated from the competition as Lola and her talented team managed to win only two matches, finishing in ninth place in the regular season. Team Secret, who debuted on the MLBB scene this year, had a forgettable season as their team was unable to beat anyone at the event.
