1916 Esports — Digital Game Leagues & How to Follow Tournaments
This page explains how to follow esports on the 1916 platform — from Mobile Legends and Dota 2 leagues to VALORANT tournaments, how to join markets, deposit in Malaysian Ringgit, and complete registration. All information is in Bahasa Melayu for Malaysian users.
What Can You Do in the Esports Section?
Four core experiences that set esports apart from the conventional sports section.
The 1916 esports section lists matches from the most popular leagues across Southeast Asia and on the world stage — from MPL (Mobile Legends Professional League) Malaysia all the way to The International Dota 2. You can track schedules and markets in one view.
Esports markets are calculated based on team records, recent form and match standings. Users can choose from a range of market types including match winner, round handicap and total kills — depending on the game being followed.
The official 1916 Android app supports push notifications for your selected esports tournaments. Turn on notifications and you'll get an alert when a match is about to start — handy for late-night games that kick off according to Asian time zones.
The full schedule for each league season is updated in line with official organiser announcements. You can check group stage standings, playoff brackets and previous round results directly within your account — no need to open another platform.
Esports in Malaysia — A Rapidly Growing Community
Malaysia is one of the most active esports markets in Southeast Asia. Mobile Legends Bang Bang draws an extraordinary following, with hundreds of thousands of active players every month. Malaysian teams like RSG MY and Ampere Boost have made their mark at the MPL level and in international tournaments, giving these matches genuine emotional weight for local fans.
The 1916 platform is built with Malaysian users in mind, particularly those who follow late-night matches due to time zone differences with Korean, Chinese and European teams. The Bahasa Melayu interface helps users who are less familiar with esports terminology navigate markets and place entries without confusion.
Beyond esports, users can also explore the cricket section for international matches running alongside select esports seasons, making the platform a well-rounded destination for both digital and traditional sports fans.

Supported Leagues & Digital Games at 1916
Mobile Legends Bang Bang is the most popular esports title in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. MPL Malaysia runs twice a year, with local teams competing for spots at the MSC (Mid-Season Cup) and the M-Series World Championship. 1916 lists matches from both stages, with markets available weeks before the action kicks off.
Dota 2 appeals to a more experienced, globally minded community. The International remains the biggest tournament in the game, with a prize pool in the billions that draws fans from around the world. On 1916, users can follow group stage matches, the upper bracket and grand finals with markets updated after each round.
VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) is also gaining strong traction among younger Malaysian users. The VCT Pacific tournament features teams from across Asia-Pacific, with matches typically held during Kuala Lumpur evening hours — perfect for users catching up after work.
Beyond these three titles, the 1916 platform also supports CS2, League of Legends and King of Glory leagues in line with their respective seasonal schedules. Check the 1916 homepage for the full list, updated every season.
