ONIC and Bigetron by Vitality set for MLBB title showdown at GOTF 2026

The Games of the Future 2026 powered by Samruk-Kazyna entered its penultimate day of MLBB competition, with four clubs left in contention for the title and the US$315,000 top prize.

After four days of competition, the semifinals saw Selangor Red Giants (SRG) take on ONIC and Aurora Gaming go up against Bigetron by Vitality (BGT). Victory would send two clubs into tomorrow's final, while the two losing teams would meet in the third-place match.

Here's how the day's action unfolded.

Selangor Red Giants (SRG) 0-2 ONIC

ONIC became the first club to reach the final with a 2-0 victory over Selangor Red Giants. SRG started strongly in both games, but ONIC turned the momentum in their favor with decisive team fights that resulted in full-team wipeouts before taking control. Kairi "Kairi" Rayosdelsol was the star of game two with 15 kills, four assists and no deaths. ONIC completed the sweep to maintain their perfect record without dropping a single game at GOTF 2026.

"It feels great to reach the final, but we're here to win the championship. My focus is on playing my role and doing everything I can for the team. We'll be ready tomorrow." – Kairi "Kairi" Rayosdelsol, ONIC

Aurora Gaming 1-2 Bigetron by Vitality

Aurora Gaming took control of game one after an even start, pulling away around the eight-minute mark to secure a dominant win. BGT responded in game two, taking control through a series of successful team fights and turret takedowns to force a decider – with Eman "Emann" Sangco claiming five of his team's seven kills. Game three produced one of the most gripping contests of the tournament, with Aurora Gaming making the stronger start before BGT mounted an impressive comeback. Momentum continued to swing as both sides traded team fights and pushed deep into each other's territory, before BGT finally took control to seal a memorable 2-1 victory.

"We have beaten ONIC before, so I think we have the potential to beat them again tomorrow. I want to thank all the BG Troopers and the fans here in Astana for supporting us, and I hope to see everyone again." – Eman "Emann" Sangco, Bigetron by Vitality.
