This market centers on which team will be recorded as the official winner of the best-of-three series between Invictus Gaming and Team Rey in the MPL Malaysia Season 18 regular season. As one of the premier Mobile Legends: Bang Bang professional circuits in the region, MPL Malaysia's regular-season fixtures shape playoff seeding and group standings, making each head-to-head a meaningful checkpoint in a team's campaign and a direct test of current roster form, draft discipline, and map-by-map execution. Traders are weighing each side's recent results, hero pool depth, and head-to-head tendencies to forecast which team emerges from this matchup, turning a single regular-season series into a clear, outcome-based question.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: This market resolves to "IG" if Invictus Gaming is officially recorded as the winner of this best-of-three series. It resolves to "REY" if Team Rey is officially recorded as the winner. It resolves to "Tie" if the series is cancelled, ends without an officially declared winner, or is postponed beyond 14 days of the original scheduled start without a winner determined; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.
2. Definition of Official Winner: "Officially recorded as the winner" means the team confirmed as the winner of the best-of-three (BO3) series in the official MPL Malaysia Season 18 match results, determined through completion of all required games per official tournament rules, including any tiebreak or remake procedures where applicable.
3. Official Sources and Evidence: The primary source for resolution is the official match result published on the Liquipedia Mobile Legends: Bang Bang page for MPL Malaysia Season 18 (liquipedia.net/mobilelegends). If a finalized result is not published there within 2 hours of the series' conclusion, a consensus of credible secondary sources — including the official MPL Malaysia broadcast, official team social media accounts, and video evidence — may be used for corroboration but cannot override a clear or later-dated primary source publication.
4. Handling Forfeits, Walkovers, and Special Match Outcomes: If the series begins but is not completed and one team is declared the winner due to the opponent's forfeit, disqualification, or walkover under official tournament rules, the market resolves to that winning team. If a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover occurs before the series starts — such that one team is awarded a win without any game being played — the market resolves to "Tie." If the series ends without an officially declared winner for any other reason, the market resolves to "Tie."
5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the series is postponed or rescheduled, this market remains open until the listed fixture is completed. If the series is not completed, is cancelled, or no official winner is declared within 14 days after the scheduled start time of 11 September 2026, 09:00 UTC, the market resolves to "Tie."
6. Resolution Timing: The market resolves no sooner than 24 hours after the official result is posted on the Liquipedia Mobile Legends: Bang Bang MPL Malaysia Season 18 page following the conclusion of the series. Resolution is processed as soon as reasonably practical after that minimum window has elapsed and the result is confirmed.
7. Ambiguities and Disputes: If conflicting information exists regarding the result, the most recent official publication on the Liquipedia Mobile Legends: Bang Bang page takes precedence. Technical pauses, in-game server issues, or game remakes are handled per official MPL Malaysia Season 18 rules. Where a listed team name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source — including recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences — this market resolves based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified. If a listed name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or could refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, the market resolves to "Tie."
