Team Rey book M8 with a 4–2 win over Vamos and set up an MPL MY final rematch

Team Rey have claimed Malaysia’s second M8 World Championship main-stage place, beating Team Vamos 4–2 in the MPL Malaysia Season 18 lower-bracket final. The official schedule now lists Rey against upper-bracket winners Selangor Red Giants (SRG) in the November 1 grand final.

It is a rapid turnaround for Rey. On October 29 they swept Vamos 3–0 in the upper-bracket semifinal, before losing 3–0 to SRG in the upper final the next day. Vamos beat Bigetron MY by VIT 3–1 to earn another meeting with Rey, but the October 31 best-of-seven ended 4–2 in Rey’s favour.

The result delivered two things for Rey: a place in the domestic title match and a berth at M8. Vamos’s playoff run ends in the lower final. Both teams advanced through this bracket, but Malaysia’s remaining main-stage place goes to Rey.

Rey’s next opponent is the same SRG side that sent them to the lower bracket. Both finalists have already secured M8 places, so the November 1 rematch is for the MPL MY S18 title. Their previous 3–0 series supplies context, but it cannot decide the grand final in advance. The organiser lists the final as best-of-seven.

The scheduled start is 17:30 Malaysia time on November 1, also 17:30 in the Philippines and 16:30 in Thailand and western Indonesia. Central Indonesia shares Malaysia’s time; eastern Indonesia is one hour ahead at 18:30. Check the MPL Malaysia schedule and broadcast announcements for changes.

For viewers across Indonesia and Southeast Asia, the result separates two stories: Malaysia’s M8 representatives are known, while the identity of the domestic champion remains open until the final ends.
