6 Games of the Future 2026 MLBB Matchdays Malaysia Time (6-9 Ogos)
Published: 2026-08-07
Sixteen teams. USD 900,000 prize pool spread from top-eight to champion. Four days in Astana. Games of the Future 2026 MLBB Malaysia time runs 6-9 Ogos, and Malaysia sends two banners into the field of sixteen: Selangor Red Giants (SRG) as the MPL MY anchor and Team Vamos as the second qualifier, a stage that few Malaysian MLBB rosters have reached before. Every match time in this piece is Malaysia Time (MYT, GMT+8), pulled from the organiser announcement so you can plan Watch Party rounds without Google-ing timezones between the Astana broadcast and your KL living room. Also want to grind Aulus or the new Kaja build before your kaki team's own scrim tonight? Top-up hits your MLBB account in under 3 minutes at REDX Game's MLBB Malaysia store.
Selangor Red Giants vs 15 Musuh: SEA Bawa 6 Bendera
SEA gets six of the sixteen slots. That is the storyline before a single Nexus falls. ONIC arrives as GOTF 2025 champion, still riding the 207 million-view spike that made MLBB the most-watched discipline in Astana last year, per Phygital International. Selangor Red Giants is the Malaysian anchor and the sole MPL MY roster in the room, walking into a bracket that pits their gank-heavy pace against the slower Team Spirit macro that just claimed MSC 2026 in Paris. Team Vamos, the second MY entry, gets a rarer international stage than the domestic split usually offers a rebuild-year roster.
Falcons (PH), Bigetron by Vitality (ID) and PRO Esports (KH) round out the SEA block. The organisers stated, "Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is officially returning to this summer's Games of the Future 2026, bringing one of mobile esports' biggest and most competitive titles back to the global stage," per the GOTF news wire. Outside SEA, Team Spirit and The MongolZ form the sharpest counterweight to the Southeast Asian block, both entering with rosters that have already banked six-figure cheques earlier this season. For SRG, one clean group win plus one playoff upset equals a top-four cheque above what most MPL MY finalists take home in a whole split.
Jadual Penuh MYT (GMT+8): Group Stage & Playoffs
The tournament runs Khamis 6 Ogos through Ahad 9 Ogos 2026 at the Zhaksylyk Ushkempirov Martial Arts Palace, Astana. Astana sits at GMT+5, so every Astana broadcast time equals plus 3 hours in KL. "Afternoon in Astana" turns into prime-time KL after Maghrib.
- Khamis 6 Ogos: Group Stage Hari 1. Broadcast opens 15:00 Astana, or 18:00 MYT. Runs through the night to around 02:00 MYT Jumaat. Double-elim within each of four groups.
- Jumaat 7 Ogos: Group Stage Hari 2 (upper plus lower deciders). Same 18:00 MYT window. Final match closes near 01:00 MYT. Top 2 per group progress.
- Sabtu 8 Ogos: Playoffs single-elim, Round of 8 and Semi-finals, BO5. Show starts 17:00 MYT. Semis wrap by roughly 00:30 MYT Ahad.
- Ahad 9 Ogos: Grand Final BO7 with the USD 900,000 pool on the line. Stage opens 18:00 MYT, ceremony and lift by 23:00 MYT.
Selangor Red Giants and Team Vamos are drawn into different groups, which is why the all-MY mirror match Malaysian fans keep asking about on X can only happen from the playoff bracket onwards, and even then requires both rosters to clear top-2 in their respective groups.
Post-Kaja & Aulus Meta Reshapes GOTF Draft
Astana is the first international LAN played entirely under the 5 Ogos Kaja revamp and the 1 Ogos Aulus Starwake Corsair Starlight window, which stacks two meta-shifting shipments into a single tournament weekend and gives coaching staffs less than 24 hours of tape to study. Kaja's rework leans harder on lockdown and roam presence, so support pools around SRG's Kelra and ONIC's Kiel now flex a stronger CC anchor without giving up gank tempo. Aulus, meanwhile, has quietly become a lane-2 solo pick that eats hyper-carries alive when he lands an early Bloodlust.
Expect first-phase bans at GOTF to look nothing like MPL MY S18 pre-season scrims from July. Ideal reads for the Malaysian bench: Kaja-Aulus pairs surface in about half of Team Spirit and Bigetron drafts, while ONIC keeps a Kaja counter (Angela plus Estes) at Priority 1 in the mirror. Get comfortable seeing Aulus into carry lanes rather than tank slots. The Painted Reaver skin is only cosmetic. Pro-tier streams from the past week show it on roughly two of every five carry pockets, so expect the 100-Diamond skin bundle to sell hard through GOTF weekend and into Aug 21 Lucky Flip drops that follow. REDX Game usually sees the tournament-weekend spike land on that exact bundle plus a 250-D Weekly Pass refill.
Bila Nak Grind Aulus 500 Diamond Untuk Support Meta
Say you want the Aulus Painted Reaver drop before the semis run. It sits at 100 Diamonds in-shop for the Ogos window. Pair that with a 419-Diamond Starlight and the total is a 519-Diamond spend. On the App Store MYR track, 500 Diamonds retails at RM 65-70, which is the ceiling most Malaysian players use as their benchmark before shopping around. Through REDX Game's MLBB Malaysia checkout, 519 Diamonds lands around RM 47-51 depending on the bundle you stack. That gap is roughly RM 15-19 saved on one skin plus Starlight run. Delivery hits the account in 1-3 minutes rather than a next-day App Store receipt.
Scale that to a full GOTF-watch weekend: Aulus 519 D, then a 250-D Weekly Pass on Jumaat, then a 750-D refill for the Sabtu semis. The App Store bill runs about RM 145. REDX Game's total comes in around RM 105-112. Senang gila math for pas-belanja logic. Buy the same skin, keep RM 30-40 for a Grab back to Petaling Jaya after Watch Party, and you still have change left over for a teh ais at the mamak while the group stage grinds through the Jumaat late block.
The Wikipedia baseline on Mobile Legends: Bang Bang lists 100 million-plus MAU. Malaysia contributes the fourth-largest pro-scene bracket by MPL viewership. That is one reason SRG's GOTF path attracts a Tenaga-grade Twitch spike whenever they queue.

Khamis 6 Ogos 18:00 MYT sampai Ahad 9 Ogos sekitar 23:00 MYT. Grand Final BO7 Ahad malam.
Adakah Selangor Red Giants dan Team Vamos dalam group yang sama?
Tidak. Kedua-dua pasukan MY diletakkan dalam group berbeza. Mirror MY-vs-MY hanya possible dari playoff bracket seterusnya.
Berapa prize pool GOTF 2026 MLBB?
USD 900,000, dibahagi mengikut placing dari juara hingga top-eight. Cheque champion antara yang tertinggi selepas MSC 2026.

Kaja revamp dan Aulus, patch mana yang aktif untuk GOTF?
Patch 5 Ogos 2026 aktif untuk semua match GOTF, dengan Kaja support rework live dan Aulus Starwake Corsair Starlight window (1-31 Ogos) berjalan serentak sepanjang tournament weekend.
Apa impact ONIC juara 2025 pada odds 2026?
ONIC datang dengan roster hampir sama, namun Team Spirit (MSC 2026 winner) dan Falcons kini duduk atas board odds beberapa buku SEA. Boleh tahan competitive posisi untuk SRG sebagai top-5 dark horse antara 16 pasukan.
Tempat Tengok Live di KL, PJ, JB, Cyberjaya & Ipoh
Watch parties bloom fast around MLBB LAN weekends. In Kuala Lumpur, Quill City Mall Level 6 (the MPL MY Arena) usually opens a public screen for SRG matches during international windows like this one, and gate typically opens 90 minutes before the first pick-ban phase of the Malaysian match. Check the MPL MY socials on Rabu evening for the Khamis session. Around Petaling Jaya, Cyber Cafés along Jaya One and Damansara Uptown run the broadcast on projector by default when a Malaysian team is on. Shah Alam and Cyberjaya campuses (UiTM, MMU) tend to run Discord watch-alongs rather than physical rooms. Johor Bahru gets a screen at Sutera Mall food-court. Ipoh viewers head to the Cyber Zone at Ipoh Parade. Kuching viewers get the cleanest experience via personal streams. Timezone helps, and broadband holds up.
Two things Malaysian fans tak perlu tunggu lama for on GOTF weekends: a broadcast delay from Astana (usually under 30 seconds) and a top-up from a local reseller. Planning to gift a friend a Weekly Pass while SRG is on stage between BO5 games? The REDX Game MLBB Malaysia page lists MYR pricing openly with DuitNow accepted at checkout, and the REDX Game order flow ships the Diamonds to your friend's ID in the same window you would normally spend queuing at a mall counter. Peak-time load is nothing new for the team; they have served Malaysian MPL split weekends since S13. Memang best kalau boleh top-up masa iklan tanpa reload App Store langsung.
