Story Highlights

  • King of Gamers Club wins the inaugural MSL Thailand Season 1 championship by defeating ACT with a dominant 4-0 sweep in the Grand Finals.
  • KOG completed the Regular Season undefeated with a 9-0 record.
  • Thailand is set to host future MLBB international events, including MCT SEA and the M8 World Championship Wild Card.

The first season of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Super League (MSL) Thailand has ended, with Kings of Gamers Club (KOG) becoming the very first champions. KOG played exceptionally well in the final match, earning Thailand’s spot at the upcoming MLBB Mid Season Cup (MSC) which will be held at EWC 2026.

KOG dominates the tournament from start to finish

KOG dominated the entire tournament, finishing the Regular Season with a perfect 9-0 record. They continued their strong performance throughout the Playoffs, consistently winning matches. Before the championship match, KOG defeated popular team Bacon Time (BAC) convincingly with a 3-0 victory in the Lower Bracket Finals.

Now, here is the KOG roster with a blend of Thai and Filipino players:

  • EXP Lane: Chaiyakrit “33rd” Buangern.
  • Filipino Jungler:  Ken Louie “Kzen” Bermudes Pile.
  • Mid Lane: Piyanat “Zed” Songsermpanit.
  • Filipino Gold Laner: John Ryan “Payen” Bernacer.
  • Roamer: Piya “Nyle” Sriwilat and Phongpanod “Hiwko” Rueangarrirat.

In the final match against ACT, KOG won decisively with a 4-0 sweep. Kzen, their Jungler, was named Finals MVP thanks to his key plays and ability to prevent ACT from turning the series around.

Thailand’s global esports MLBB journey continues

So, we did it! Our team, KOG, just won and that means we’re heading to the MSC Wild Card Stage to represent Thailand at the EWC Cup 2026 – pretty awesome, right? It’s a bummer for BAC and ACT though, they’ll have to keep grinding through the MLBB Challenge Mekong (MCCM) hoping to snag another chance to qualify. Hopefully they can pull through!

MSL Thailand Season 1 is a major milestone for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang esports in Thailand. It’s the first official league split the country has hosted since winning the very first MSC championship in 2017. Here’s a look at the tournament’s components and sponsors:

  • True5G as the Official Telecommunication Partner.
  • Infinix as the Official Gaming Phone Partner and Sponsor
  • Richman Shop as an Official Sponsor
  • DXRACER as the Official Gaming Chair Partner
  • Monster joined during the Playoffs with on-ground activities and drinks for fans.

So, MOONTON Games told me they put a massive ฿10,000,000 into just the first season of MSL Thailand! Apparently, that money went towards everything – boosting their social media, running community events, growing the whole Mobile Legends scene, giving teams a boost, hosting watch parties, and of course, the prize pool for the tournament. It was a big investment to really get things going!

Additionally, Thailand is also set to host future MLBB international events, including:
