The fans were also very excited to see Chip make his competitive debut this week in MPL Malaysia. HomeBois became the first team globally to use Chip in a professional game.

Xorn, the HomeBois Roamer, secured an impressive Kills-Deaths-Assists (KDA) ratio of 1/0/10 using Chip and became the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the first game against Monster Vicious. He dominated the game so much with Chip that Monster Vicious had to ban the hero in the next two games of the best-of-three match against HomeBois.

King Empire Esports, the league's newcomers, have performed clean sweeps in both their MPL Malaysia Season 13 Week 2 games and successfully replaced Selangor Red Giants at the top of the table.

King Empire Esports won both their games against Bountee Esports on Day 2 and Barracuda Esports on Day 3 to collect the maximum six points in Week 2. However, while their fans rejoice over the news, it adds to the misery of Barracuda Esports fans as the team has yet to register a win in MPL Malaysia Season 13.

While Selangor Red Giants got dethroned after Week 2 and had to settle for second place with nine points, they still have a great chance to win the first position back. The Giants have a match in hand and are yet to face King Empire Esports, the current table-toppers.

The Giants asserted their dominance over TODAK, beating them with a clean sweep (2-0) in MPL Malaysia Season 13 Week 2. With this victory, the Selangor Red Giants became the only team yet to drop a point in the tournament so far.

Team HAQ also managed to grab seven points from their Day 2 and Day 3 games against HomeBois and Monster Vicious. Despite losing the match to HomeBois on Day 2, they managed to snatch a point.

HomeBois, on the other hand, managed to bring its first wins home against Monster Vicious on Day 1 and Team HAQ on Day 2. The defending champions, however, will not be happy with the results after dropping two points, since they managed to register a 2-1 victory in both games.

MPL Malaysia Season 13 Week 3 fixtures

MPL Malaysia Season 13 will return on April 19, 2024, to kickstart the third week of games of the tournament after a week's break for Hari Raya (Eid al-Fitr).

In the opening match, the Selangor Red Giants will try to avenge their previous defeat against RSG Malaysia in the Kohai SEA Championship Season 2. These are also the favorites to win MPL Malaysia this season, thus making it a must-watch contest for fans and the neutral audience.

In the Seru Saturday, HomeBois will face table-toppers King Empire Esports, and the fans of Selangor Red Giants will stay glued to their streaming platforms as HomeBois' win sends their favorite team to the top of the table (given that Selangor Red Giants managed to win against RSG MY).
