MPL Malaysia Season 14 Week 2: Results, Upcoming Fixtures, and Comprehensive Overview

The MPL Malaysia Season 14 has been generating significant buzz within the gaming community since its kickoff. Following the previous week, the Selangor Red Giants, last year’s unbeaten champions, have displayed remarkable consistency and resolve, maintaining their position at the top of the leaderboard. Meanwhile, Team Vamos has also secured a solid second place, tied on points with the leading team.

MPL Malaysia Season 14 Week 2: The Regular Season League Table Takes Shape

The conclusion of MPL Malaysia Season 14 Week 2 on September 15, 2024 (which began on September 13, 2024) has led to a clearer picture of the Regular Season League table. Both the Selangor Red Giants and Team Vamos have successfully garnered eight points, keeping them at the top two spots in the rankings.

Meanwhile, Monster Vicious, the sole all-Malaysian squad in the competition, is closely trailing in third with five points and an additional match to play. The JP NINERS, despite having equal points, are currently positioned fourth due to a prior loss.

Team HAQ, Red Esports, TODAK, and Team Rey occupy the fifth through eighth spots, respectively, each with three points.

In an unexpected twist, HomeBois MY has lost both of their matches (0-2) thus far, accumulating only two points and currently battling to avoid relegation alongside RSG MY (0-3, two points).
