MPL Malaysia Casters and Talent 2026: The Complete Line-Up
By KITAMEN Esports Solutions • Updated June 2026
Executive Summary
- The official MPL Malaysia Season 17 (2026) broadcast features 13 talents: eleven casters and two dedicated hosts.
- The booth runs on two language lines, an English desk (GideonQ, Sdafhaa, HusKkiee) and a deeper Malay desk, with Laphel and Shamilo bridging both.
- Most of the line-up also hold international credits at the M-series World Championships and the Mid-Season Cup, a genuinely veteran roster.
Deep Dive: How the MPL Malaysia Booth Is Built
MPL Malaysia’s broadcast is split by language and by role. On play-by-play and colour you have Malay-language veterans Karakuri, Sith and Mars (several credited since Season 7–8), alongside Adeen, Sunfrost and ReezPiuPiu. The English desk is led by GideonQ, one of the most experienced English MLBB casters in the region, with Sdafhaa and HusKkiee.
Two talents work as caster-analysts across both languages, Laphel and Shamilo, while the hosts, Rose and Popojie, anchor the desk and player interviews. None of the line-up comes from a documented pro-playing career; their craft is broadcast, not competition (Sunfrost’s background is coaching).
Local Insight: A Multilingual, Increasingly Diverse Booth
The Malaysian booth is distinctly multilingual. Rose hosts in Malay, English and Tagalog, the last famously used live to interview a Filipino head coach. ReezPiuPiu casts in Malay, Mandarin and English, has been called the Eminem of the MLBB Professional League by national news agency BERNAMA, and runs SheCasts, a programme mentoring aspiring female commentators. Together they are the two women in the current line-up, a small but visible shift in a historically male booth.
