In a thrilling turn of events at the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup (MSC) 2026, Indonesia proudly secures two spots in the knockout stage. This prestigious tournament, part of the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026 held in Paris, France, has seen fierce competition among the world's top teams.
ONIC Esports' Remarkable Comeback
ONIC Esports demonstrated resilience and skill as they triumphed over Malaysia’s Selangor Red Giants (SRG) with a decisive 2-0 victory in the lower bracket of the group stage. This win came after a narrow defeat to Aurora Gaming the previous day, which had raised doubts about ONIC's chances of advancing.
A Strong Start and Strategic Play
From the outset of the match against SRG, ONIC displayed exceptional discipline in controlling objectives and maintaining game tempo. They capitalized on mistakes made by their opponents, securing the first game with relative ease. Their teamwork shone brightly in the second game as well, allowing them to close out the match without dropping a single game.
Team Vitality's Consistent Performance
Meanwhile, Team Vitality has been a model of consistency throughout the group stage. As the reigning champions of MPL Indonesia Season 17, they secured their place in the knockout stage earlier on, igniting hope among fans for a strong showing on the global stage.
Indonesia's Growing Esports Presence
The advancement of both ONIC and Team Vitality marks a significant achievement for Indonesia, showcasing the nation’s growing prominence in the esports scene. With the MSC 2026 bringing together formidable teams from various regions, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Turkey, and Latin America, the stakes are high.
As both Indonesian teams move forward, there is a palpable excitement about the potential for one of them to bring home the championship trophy. With ONIC's recent momentum and Team Vitality's established prowess, the future looks bright for Indonesian esports in this global tournament.
