TODAK, the previous season's champions, won their second match on Day 3 of Week 1 convincingly to compensate for their defeat in the opening game.

However, despite the 2 - 0 win against Team Secret (who also lost their opening game on Day 1 against Team HAQ), TODAK ended their first week in fourth place. As things currently stand, Selangor Red Giants are the table toppers, with HomeBois chasing them.

Team HAQ is also ahead of TODAK sitting third on the table, and with only one match in the Week 2 fixtures, things are not looking promising for the reigning champs.

Team Selangor Red Giants have drawn all eyes towards themselves with a perfect clean sweep on the first week of MPL MY Season 12. Their progress, with the help of their imported players called Jon “Super Red” and Archie “Pancake”, will be something to look out for in the upcoming weeks.

On the other hand, three teams sit with zero points after the conclusion of the first week of the tournament. Red Esports, Team Secret, and Team Lunatix are all looking forward to improving their results in the upcoming fixtures.

With two defeats this weekend, Team Secret is currently on an 11-game losing streak, and they have to turn their fortunes around to stay alive in the competition.

Upcoming fixtures in MPL MY Season 12 Week 2

The next week’s fixtures will start on August 25, 2023, when Team SMG will fight against Team HomeBois in the biggest fixture of the week on Seru Saturday. Since this is a rematch of the Lower Bracket finals of MPL MY Season 11, Team HomeBois will look forward to getting their revenge on SMG.

Seru Saturday has been introduced in MPL MY Season 12 where visitors will spectate the biggest match-up of each week.
