Regional Esports Tournament Returns to Malaysia
OPPO is bringing the biggest campus esports event in Southeast Asia back to Malaysia. The OPPO Hyper Legend Cup x MLBB Campus Series will take place from April 16 to 19, 2026 at 1 Utama Shopping Centre in Selangor, featuring eight national champion teams from Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore competing for a record-breaking USD100,000 prize pool.
The tournament has grown significantly from last year’s USD52,000 prize pool, attracting over 1,400 registrations across the four participating nations. This growth reflects the rising competitive standard of student esports in Southeast Asia and the increasing investment from brands like OPPO in nurturing young gaming talent.
“The OPPO Hyper Legend Cup x MLBB Campus Series is more than a tournament — it is a platform for the next generation of esports players to showcase their passion and skill,” said Gary Dong, APAC President of OPPO. “By bringing these four nations together in Malaysia, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming by providing cutting-edge technology that enhances the mobile esports experience.”
Teams to Watch
Eight teams emerged from intense national qualifiers in their respective countries. Each team carries the hopes of their student gaming community as they step onto the regional stage.
From the Philippines, the NU Bulldogs bring a collegiate dynasty with back-to-back championship titles, while FAITH Colleges Bravehearts add professional-tier experience from the MDL Philippines circuit. Indonesia’s representatives, Little Pikaa and Semangka, rose from a massive pool of 476 teams to claim their national titles. Singapore sends TKP with strong fundamentals on execution and adaptability, alongside Clarity Gaming who evolved from ranked play to the competitive stage.
Malaysia’s hopes rest on two rising forces in the student esports scene. KPTM x Velocity, the Hyper Legend Cup Malaysia champion, began as a group of classmates playing casually before transforming late-night grinds into a championship-winning run. UiTM x Velocity, the Moonton Student Leaders (MSL) champion, has built a reputation for sharp coordination and aggressive playstyle that has proven effective across campus tournaments.
OPPO Reno15 Series: Built for Competition
Throughout the qualifying rounds and into the finals, the OPPO Reno15 series serves as the official tournament device — a deliberate choice that reflects the device’s gaming-focused capabilities.
The Reno15 series features a 120FPS ultra-smooth display that delivers fluid visuals during intense team fights, complemented by an advanced VC Cooling system designed to maintain peak performance during extended gaming sessions. The 6,500mAh battery ensures players can compete through long tournament brackets without worrying about power, while 80W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge enables quick turnarounds between matches.
For online competition, AI LinkBoost 3.0 provides stable connectivity — a critical feature when network latency can determine match outcomes. These specifications position the Reno15 series as a device built for the demands of competitive mobile esports.
Grand Final Spectacle
The grand final in Malaysia promises an immersive experience beyond the competition itself. Malaysian MLBB legends Soloz and Feekz will make special appearances throughout the event, lending their expertise and star power to the proceedings.
“I am excited to see these young university talents in action — this is their moment to shine, and I can’t wait to see the level of gameplay they bring to the grand stage,” said Soloz. Feekz added, “Every legend starts somewhere, and this campus series is the perfect platform to witness the birth of the next generation of legendary players.”
Attendees can enjoy exclusive on-site activities including interactive zones to experience the latest OPPO technology, meet-and-greets with players, and giveaways of exclusive merchandise. Those who purchase an OPPO smartphone at the event will receive MLBB T-shirts and Hero Skin Cards as bonuses.
Our Take
The USD100,000 prize pool represents a significant statement from OPPO about the value they place on student esports. Doubling last year’s prize pool in one year signals that the brand sees genuine growth potential in the campus gaming segment — not just as a marketing exercise but as a long-term investment in the next generation of esports athletes and enthusiasts.
For Malaysia, having the tournament on home ground is a meaningful opportunity. The two local representatives — KPTM x Velocity and UiTM x Velocity — carry the pressure of defending home pride against established regional competitors. Whether they claim victory or gain valuable experience against international opponents, their participation in an event of this scale accelerates the development of Malaysian student esports.
The OPPO Reno15 series as tournament device also makes commercial sense. Reaching 1,400 registrations across four countries means thousands of potential customers have experienced the device in competitive scenarios — a far more impactful demonstration than traditional advertising.
For esports fans in Malaysia, the event at 1 Utama Shopping Centre offers free access to witness high-level MLBB competition and interact with the regional gaming community. Whether you attend in person or follow updates online, this tournament marks a significant moment for campus esports in Southeast Asia.
