OG enters MLBB esports through partnership with Malaysia’s SRG

Dota 2 giants OG announced its into venture into the MLBB esports scene through a partnership with Malaysia’s SRG.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) continues to turn necks as European esports giant OG signs a partnership deal with Malaysia’s powerhouse Selangor Red Giants (SRG). This year-long partnership will see the Malaysian team competing under the banner SRG.OG. They will represent the collaboration in tournaments like the MLBB Professional League (MPL) Malaysia and upcoming international events.

A landmark collaboration in Malaysian MLBB Esports

OG’s entry into MLBB marks a significant moment for the game’s esports ecosystem. The org is widely popular for being the first team in the game’s history to win back-to-back world championships in Ti 2018 and TI 2019. As mobile esports continues to rise in popularity, OG is now expanding its influence into mobile esports.

“We are incredibly excited to embark on this strategic partnership with OG Esports,” said Simon Lim, Team Director of SRG, through a press release. “This collaboration represents a significant milestone for SRG, allowing us to leverage OG’s global expertise and resources to elevate our MLBB team and expand our reach globally. We are confident that this partnership will bring immense value to our fans and the broader esports community.”

By partnering with SRG, OG is making a calculated move into a scene that regional MLBB powerhouses like Indonesia and the Philippines have dominated. This is because the esports org might have the key to cracking the code on what makes these two powerhouses nearly untouchable. 

The team SRG achieved their significant triumph during the MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) 2024, becoming the first Malaysian squad to clinch an international Mobile Legends: Bang Bang title. Notably, they have consistently displayed impressive play in the MPL Malaysia league as well. They defended their championship title twice consecutively in the local circuit. Consequently, SRG has established themselves as one of the most promising teams regionally.

OG joins the mobile esports hype

Aside from the SRG.OG partnership in MLBB, the org has also announced their entry to other mobile esports titles. Back on March 1, 2025, the esports organization announced that it would be joining the Honor of Kings esports ecosystem. 

Honor of Kings, a game that has dominated the Chinese market, is expanding globally. OG now has a new frontier beyond traditional PC-based esports. Meanwhile, MLBB is a powerhouse title across Southeast Asia. It could be the stepping stone OG needs to expand its reach. Mobile esports is popular in these regions.
