Team SMG disbands MLBB team

Still Moving Under Gunfire (Team SMG) lets go of another team in its esports roster, this time in the Land of Dawn.

In a statement posted on its Facebook page, Team SMG announced that their MLBB roster has been acquired by another team.

 

“It’s with mixed emotions that we announce our MLBB team has been acquired by a new organisation. While this marks the end of our chapter as we know it, it opens exciting new doors for our players,” Team SMG said.

Its final roster consisted of team captain Lu Khai “Sasa” Bean, exp laner Aeliff Adam “Smooth” Md Ariff, and jungler Wan Mohamad Danish Safwan Bin Mohd Sakirin, also known as “Subway”.

Earlier in the month, Filipino roamer Deomark “Mikko” Tabangay was revealed as part of the Burn x Flash roster in Cambodia. Kenneth “Saxa” Fedelin, meanwhile, has been acquired by the Burmese Ghouls, while Hazziq Danish Bin Mohamad Rizwan, also known as “Stormie”, has moved to Malaysian team Yoodo Red Giants Esports.

Team SMG was part of the MLBB pro scene from 2020 to 2023 and qualified for both M3 and M5 World Championships.

“We want to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible fans. You’ve been the heart and soul of our journey, cheering us on through every victory and defeat. The memories we’ve created together, from 2020 to 2023, will forever hold a special place in our hearts,” Team SMG said.

The organization added, “Going through all the good and bad, fighting for our first MPL Victory, and representing Malaysia in both M3 and M5 World Championships; We have no doubt you’ll continue to achieve great things in the future. While our MLBB team may be going to a new home, the legacy we built together will endure. We’ll always cherish the moments we shared and the impact we made on the esports landscape.”

Team SMG still has teams in PUBGM and DOTA2 teams in Malaysia, as well as their PUBGM Peacekeeper Elite team in China.
