MPL Malaysia S12: #MingguDiraja Sets New Records as Giants Tumble and Team SMG Ascends



The MPL Malaysia S12 reached its peak during Week 4, famously known as #MingguDiraja (Royal Week), where kings of the league showcased their might. The Land of Dawn witnessed intense battles that shook the very earth. As #MingguDiraja came to a close, Team SMG seized the throne with 15 points, followed by HomeBois, RSG MY, and Selangor Red Giants, all sharing the second spot with 14 points. Team HAQ maintained their fifth position with 11 points.

#MingguDiraja - A Week of Grandeur

The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang community came together once again during #MingguDiraja, setting two new records. According to Esports Charts, the match between Todak and HomeBois during #SeruSaturday in Week 4 reached a whopping 166,488 Peak Concurrent Viewers (PCV), the highest of the season, surpassing the 143,417 PCV achieved during the season opener when Todak faced Team SMG.

Note: PCV mentioned above includes viewers from Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube only; it does not include TV broadcast viewership like Astro Arena.

Furthermore, Dewan Sri Putra was filled with over 3,000 fans who witnessed the intensity of #MingguDiraja in person. This marked the highest attendance of Season 12, surpassing the previous Regular Season Week 4 record of 2,000 fans.

Team SMG's Triumph and Setback

Team SMG claimed the top spot on the leaderboard, earning 4 points, while Selangor Red Giants garnered just 1 point after suffering two consecutive defeats this week. However, Team SMG couldn't maintain their winning streak, losing narrowly to RSG MY with a score of 2-1.

HomeBois' slim victory against Selangor Red Giants (2-1) played a crucial role in Team SMG's ascent to the league's summit. HomeBois continued their winning streak by defeating the defending champions, Todak. This week, HomeBois shared the title of 'King Slayer' with RSG MY. It was also a great week for HomeBois internationally, as HomeBois SG started their MPL SG journey with two significant victories against Alchemy SG (2-0) and Bleed Esports (2-1).

However, the defending champions, Todak, faced another challenging week, failing to secure any points after losing both of their matches. Todak now finds themselves in seventh place, with a win-loss ratio of 1:5. With three matches remaining, Todak needs to be cautious, especially against Team Secret, who just secured their first MPL MY victory by defeating RED Esports (2-1).

Preview of Week 5: Celebrating Malaysia Day

In Week 5, MPL Malaysia will host a special program to celebrate Malaysia Day. With a spirit of unity and community, Week 5 will feature local icons to celebrate our nation's pride. The week will also continue our mission together, Mi5i Malaysia, and the #pantangmengalah spirit in preparation for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M5 World Championship 2023.

Todak will kick off Week 5 with a match against MPX NSEA. While they may have represented the country in prestigious international MLBB events, Todak's mission will focus on achieving positive results before facing RSG MY on Day 2.

Team HAQ, on the other hand, faces two intense battles - against former league leaders Team SMG on Day 1, followed by former champions Selangor Red Giants on Day 3. A win for Team HAQ would place them among the title contenders, but they face a tough road ahead, with Team SMG looking to maintain their lead and Selangor Red Giants aiming to rebuild their momentum.
