No Rey of hope as rampant SRG storm into MPL grand final

KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor Red Giants (SRG) have silenced critics by securing their sixth consecutive Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Malaysia (MPL MY) Grand Final spot. The five-time defending champions demolished Team Rey with a 3-0 sweep in the upper bracket final at Juara Stadium, Buchi Kiara, Malaysia. This victory also earns SRG a spot at the M8 World Championships in Istanbul, Turkey, set for January.

Despite suffering three defeats in the regular season against RRQ Tora, Team Vamos, and Team Rey, SRG maintained their top position in the standings. Jungler Haqqullah Sekys, Ahmad Shahrul Zaman stated that their return to the Grand Final proved they were still a dominant force, despite some doubters. Sekys expressed that it was a special season for SRG, as many had expected their downfall after losing three times during the regular season.

Team Rey, who finished in second place in the regular season, were expected to provide a tough challenge after easily defeating Team Vamos in the upper bracket semi-finals. SRG, however, responded with an emphatic 3-0 victory, proving their dominance once again. Sekys reiterated that SRG had no fear of Team Rey, but held them in high regard for their strong gameplay throughout the season.

Team Rey will have another opportunity to reach the Grand Final when they face Team Vamos in the lower bracket final later today, with the winners meeting SRG on Sunday and securing Malaysia's second berth at the M8 World Championships.
