NANNING, JurnalPost.com - The final results of the CAEC MLBB 2026 concluded with a defeat for Indonesia, as the team reinforced by RRQ Hoshi players had to concede to Myanmar with a score of 0-2 in the China-ASEAN Esports Competition (CAEC) championship match on Sunday (8/11/2026).
The match, held in Nanning, China, confirmed Myanmar as the champion of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) category at the CAEC 2026. Meanwhile, Indonesia had to settle for the runner-up position after failing to secure a single game in the final series.
This result marks a disappointing end for Indonesia. Previously, the Red and White squad had shown promising performance throughout the tournament, including their victory over Cambodia in the semifinals.
Myanmar successfully maintained the momentum they had built since the knockout stage. After defeating the host nation, China, they concluded the tournament with a 2-0 victory against Indonesia.
CAEC MLBB 2026 Final Results: Myanmar Wins in Two Straight Games
The CAEC MLBB 2026 grand final brought together two Southeast Asian representatives who successfully navigated the group stage and semifinals.
The match utilized a best-of-three (BO3) format, meaning the first team to secure two games would be declared the winner.
Myanmar won both games, closing out the match without the need for a third game.
This victory ensured that Indonesia could not turn the tide in the final series. For Myanmar, the result is a significant achievement as they successfully overcame two strong opponents in succession during the final stages.
The results of the CAEC MLBB 2026 final are as follows:
Indonesia vs Myanmar: 0-2
Champion: Myanmar
Runner-up: Indonesia
Final Date: Sunday, 8 November 2026
Location: Nanning, China
Match Format: Best of Three (BO3)
Although Indonesia failed to secure the title, reaching the final match remains an improvement compared to the previous edition.
RRQ Hoshi's Journey to the Grand Final
Indonesia participated in the CAEC 2026 by relying on players from RRQ Hoshi, one of the most widely recognized esports organizations in the national Mobile Legends scene.
The five players representing Indonesia were Dyrennn, Faviannn, Yehezkiel, Arthur, and Said (Idok). They were accompanied by coach Adi.
Dyrennn played as the EXP Laner, Faviannn as the Jungler, while Yehezkiel filled the Mid Lane. Arthur served as the Gold Laner and Said took on the Roamer role.
Their journey began in Group B, which included Indonesia, China, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand.
Indonesia opened the competition with victories over Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. However, the Red and White squad later suffered a 0-1 defeat against China.
With a record of three wins and one loss, Indonesia advanced to the semifinals as the runner-up of Group B.
In the semifinals held on Saturday (7/11/2026), Indonesia faced Cambodia. The match was a crucial opportunity to prove the team's capabilities against a strong representative from Group A.
The result was a convincing victory for Indonesia with a score of 2-0. This win brought RRQ Hoshi one step closer to the title and secured a spot in the grand final.
Unfortunately, that positive momentum did not continue when Indonesia faced Myanmar in the championship match.
Myanmar Eliminates China Before Defeating Indonesia
Myanmar's success in becoming champion was inseparable from their performance throughout the CAEC MLBB 2026 knockout stage.
Myanmar competed with a roster consisting of New Cold, Lucky, Ps, OP Tempest, and KidX. They were managed by head coach Jina with support from assistant coach Px7.
In the group stage, Myanmar suffered a defeat against Cambodia with a score of 0-1. However, that result did not stop their progress to the next round.
Myanmar then defeated China in the semifinal match on Saturday (7/11/2026).
Facing the host team, Myanmar secured a victory in two straight games with a score of 2-0.
The result demonstrated Myanmar's ability to maintain performance in high-stakes matches, especially when facing opponents under increasing competitive pressure.
In the final a day later, Myanmar recorded an identical victory. This time, Indonesia was the opponent that had to acknowledge their superiority.
Indonesia Meets Myanmar Again in International Final
The meeting between Indonesia and Myanmar in the CAEC 2026 final also drew attention because the two countries had previously faced each other in the MLBB gold medal match at the Asian Games 2026.
In the match held in Japan on 1 October 2026, Myanmar defeated Indonesia with a score of 4-0 to claim the gold medal.
However, the rosters for the Asian Games and the CAEC were not the same. Indonesia relied on the RRQ Hoshi squad this time, while Myanmar fielded players from Falcons Esports.
Therefore, the results of the two matches cannot be viewed as a direct comparison between identical squads.
Nevertheless, Myanmar's two victories in different international finals throughout 2026 highlight the intense competition in the Mobile Legends esports scene in the Asian region.
For Indonesia, this result serves as a reminder that domestic competition experience must be balanced with consistency when facing teams from other countries.
CAEC MLBB 2026 Prize Pool
The CAEC 2026 took place from 6–8 November 2026, bringing together representatives from China and several Southeast Asian nations.
The tournament provided a total prize pool of 150,000 Chinese yuan for the Mobile Legends category.
As the champion, Myanmar was entitled to a prize of 80,000 yuan. Indonesia, finishing as runner-up, received a prize allocation of 50,000 yuan, while the third-place team received 20,000 yuan.
Beyond the prize money, the tournament served as an opportunity for players to gain experience competing against representatives from other countries.
For Indonesia, the success in reaching the final shows that the team is still capable of competing until the final stages of a regional tournament.
However, the defeat to Myanmar also provides homework, particularly in preparing strategies to face increasingly competitive opponents.
With the conclusion of the grand final on Sunday (8/11/2026), Myanmar officially closed the CAEC MLBB 2026 as champion, while Indonesia took home second place after their journey ended in the final match.
