Mobile Legends MSC x EWC 2026 opens with 2‑0 victories for Malaysia’s Vamos and Indonesia’s ONIC

The opening round of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid‑Season Cup (MSC) and Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026 was held in Paris. Malaysia’s representative team Vamos defeated Falcons MENA of Saudi Arabia 2‑0 despite a 12‑hour flight delay that left them with only a brief practice session. Coach Afrindo Valentino noted, “Our preparation was affected by the flight delay, so we only managed one light training session before the match.”

Indonesia’s ONIC also secured a 2‑0 win, sweeping Latin American side Entity7 in about 11 minutes. Player Sanz highlighted the need to adapt quickly to international competition, saying, “Playing in MPL is very different from international tournaments, so we must be ready and vigilant.” Both victories placed the teams in a strong position in Group A, advancing them to the upper‑bracket stage of the tournament.
