eSports team Yoodo RSG MLBB proved themselves the best local Mobile Legends: Bang Bang team, coming out tops in the Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) Malaysia Season 7 and winning the US$25,000 (RM103,190) grand prize.

The team backed by digital telco Yoodo also earned themselves a place in the upcoming Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC), to be held from June 7-13.

MPL is a league at the national level where the top teams in the country duke it out for a chance to make it to the regional MSC. This year’s Malaysian MPL also has a prize pool of US$100,000 (RM412,900).

Yoodo head Chow Tuck Mun congratulated the team: “Their hard work and persistence have paid off and lifted them to great heights. The team has surpassed our expectations and we’re excited to see what else they can achieve in the future.”

Team Yoodo RSG MLBB captain Herwin “Rush” Baharuddin said this was their first time winning a national title together, edging out veteran team Todak 4-2 in a best-of-seven format match.

Making it more dramatic, during the Grand Final match against Todak, team Yoodo RSG MLBB were down by two games before making a comeback to win four straight games.

“We put serious work and hours into our training sessions, and it means the world to see it all culminate in a victory. MPL 2021 has been a great and exciting journey, and we can’t wait to make our fans proud of us with our next venture,” said Herwin, in a press release.

The team also included Abdul Wandi “Logan” Abdul Kadir, Mohammad Irwandy “Izanami” Lim, Ahmad Zaki “Zacus” Ibrahim, Ahmad Ali Huzaifi “Leixia” Abdullah Hazawi, Izme Haqeem “Kaizer” Hamsjid, Jamil “Zaraki” Nurolla, Ealtond “Lolealz” Rayner, and Mohamad Amir Afdhal “Syno” Ruzlan.

Rayner was also named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the playoffs, which saw team Yoodo RSG MLBB have an unbeaten streak.

Chow said this was the result Yoodo wanted when signing the team on. “Yoodo strongly believes in the potential of Malaysian eSports players, and the team’s victory is further proof that we’re on the right track,” he said, adding that the company would continue to support these talents.

Yoodo was also the Official Digital Telco of the MLP Malaysia 2021.
