The Malaysian esports community is in mourning following the shocking announcement from the legendary organization, Todak Gaming, that it is officially disbanding all its competitive teams after eight years of defining the local and international scene.

In a heartfelt statement released on their official Instagram, the organization described the decision as an incredibly difficult “full stop” necessary for the conclusion of their long and storied journey.

From 2018 to Global Stardom

Founded in 2018, Todak Gaming quickly became more than just a household name in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). They established themselves as a multi-title powerhouse, expanding their reach into various competitive disciplines including Valorant, Dota 2, PUBG Mobile, and Wild Rift.

The pinnacle of their success was etched in history when their MLBB squad finished as world runners-up at the inaugural Mobile Legends World Championship (M1) in 2019. This achievement did more than just bring fame to the club; it served as a catalyst for Malaysia’s rise on the global esports map.

Domestic Dominance and Talent Development

On the home front, Todak remained a perennial contender in the Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) Malaysia and MPL MY/SG. Among their most cherished milestones was clinching the MPL MY Season 6 Championship, alongside consistent grand final appearances that solidified their status as Malaysia’s most feared esports organization.

Beyond the trophies, Todak played a vital role in nurturing the local ecosystem through:

• Todak Academy: A dedicated educational initiative providing professional training programs for aspiring gamers.
• Talent Development: Organizing esports camps to scout and mold the next generation of professional industry talent.

A Tribute to the ‘Unsung Heroes’

In their official farewell, management emphasized that their eight years of success would have been impossible without the unwavering trust of their players, staff, and the “Todak Family” of supporters who stood by them since day one. Every high and low experienced by the organization is regarded as a vital chapter in the nation’s esports legacy.

“This closure may mark the end of an important chapter, but the impact left behind will continue to inspire generations of players and fans to come,” the statement read.

Todak Gaming lowers its curtain with a profound sense of pride and respect, leaving behind a gold standard for the Malaysian esports industry.
