Bigetron by Vitality have won MPL Indonesia for a second season running, beating Natus Vincere (NAVI) 4-3 in a Grand Finals that went the full seven games. Moonton’s newsroom says both finalists will now play at the M8 World Championship, which goes to Istanbul, Türkiye, in January 2027.
How BTR kept the title
BTR, as the team is known, came through the lower bracket. A loss to Team Liquid ID dropped them down, and they then got past Alter Ego, and Team Liquid ID a second time, to set up the final with NAVI. Only RRQ and ONIC had won back-to-back MPL Indonesia titles before them.
Their EXP laner, Dylont “Shogun” Huraihira, took the Finals Most Valuable Player award. The rest of the lineup is Manuel “Nnael” Simbolon at jungle, Marcel “Moreno” Sinulingga in the mid lane, Eman “EMANN” Sangco in the gold lane and Muhammad “Finn” Hikmatullah as roamer.
The organisation’s second side won too. Bigetron Academy beat EVOS Icon 4-0 for a third straight MDL Indonesia title, which gives them a place at the first MCT SEA, the new Southeast Asian tour that offers another route to M8. NAVI reached the Grand Finals for the first time, having joined MPL Indonesia in 2025.
Malaysia’s teams at M8
The release also lists teams already through from other regions. Selangor Red Giants won a sixth MPL title in a row in Malaysia, and Team Rey, the runners-up, qualified as well. In the Philippines, Aurora Gaming PH and Team Falcons go through, and Team Spirit earned a Main Stage place by winning MCC Season 8.
The Malaysian season that sent Selangor Red Giants and Team Rey to M8 is covered on MPL MY Season 18, and Moonton’s release names other teams that have qualified so far.
The event is split across two cities: its Wild Card stage is played in Bangkok, Thailand, and the Main Stage follows in Istanbul. Sixteen teams are in the field, with the winner crowned world champion and the money split from a US$1 million total.
