Malaysia Crush Cambodia 3-0 To Retain MLBB Title At World Championship

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- Malaysia delivered a dominant performance to retain their IESF World Esports Championship 2025 crown by sweeping Cambodia 3-0 in the grand final of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) showdown at Quill City Mall, tonight. 

The defending champions stamped their authority from the opening game, powered by the all-star lineup of Idreen Jamal (Momo) , Muhd Qayyum Ariffin Mohd Suhairi (Yums), Muhd Haqqullah Ahmad Shahrul Zaman (Sekys), Haziq Danish Mohd Rizwan (Stormie) dan Ealtond Rayner (Lolealz).

Cambodia fielded Phengkong “Oppi” Chhuon, Chandavan “Detective” Nhem, Amey “Xing” Khuon, Dane “Wadu” Vann and Virea “Boxi” Sok but were unable to match Malaysia’s pace, synergy and relentless aggression throughout the series.

Today’s triumph adds to Malaysia’s growing legacy in the esport following their historic 2-0 victory over the Philippines in the grand final of the 2024 edition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abdul Halim were among those present to witness the thrilling title defence.

The win saw the Malaysian team take home USD32,500 in prize money.
