After a long 2 months break, we are back to the fields and what better way to start with a dream venue for any paintball game. SMPL - Straits of Malacca Paintball League, 2nd Leg, Port Dickson organized by COD Paintball Port Dickson. A 5-minute walk away from the beach, surrounded by many eateries, artificial turf field, pro-shops from local and abroad, itās a loss if you missed it.
We were there with our DYE Paintball DYE ASIA products and Tech Support. It was our pleasure and hope we have given an impact during the weekend but enough about us, we are here to celebrate the achievements of our home teams and players. So, letās go!!!
PREMIER DIVISION
NL Draco Paintball Club
Only one (1) Division 1 player is allowed to play in the Premier Division. Our players, Safieq Awe & Syazani Roslan played for Southern-X & EJPC Junior respectively and both of them went to the finals. It was an intense final game that was won by Southern X. Congratulations to both teams.
Racun Nusantara Paintball team
The boys were back with one mission and one mission only, to defend the title they won in Penang. Playing solid in the group stage, they were at the right path but their luck ended in the semi finals losing to the champions of the tournament, Southern X. Congratulations to RACUN NUSANTARA for being able to maintain their great performance with another podium finish.
Noboru Paintball Club
From strangers to teammates, this is the best way to describe this team. A debut participation in SMPL, team Noboru with the combination of players from team UnknownX, another powerhouse team from NLPA. One of the favourites to claim the championship but they fell short of reaching the finals losing to EJPC Jr. Whatever the results, we are still proud of their achievements and hopefully they will get better results in the 3rd leg. Congratulations NOBORU!
Loco Legion
Another team from NLPA. A rather new team with no fear. Bulldozing their way into the premier division with one aim on their mind, TO LEARN. No matter what the results from the first or second leg, they have made us proud just by taking the challenge of playing in a higher level. Back to the drawing boards Loco Legion and come back stronger for the 3rd Leg of SMPL.
OPEN MECHANICAL DIVISION
Alpha Paintball Team - Malaysia
First runner up at the 1st leg of the series in Penang, losing the finals with a 1v1 match, they were one step away from winning their first championship in 2026. So, this time, itās serious. Maintaining their aggressive gameplay, they played like they had nothing to lose and with that, they were crowned the Open Mechanical Champions of SMPL 2nd Leg 2026. Not only that, their snake player, Ammar was also crowned the divisionās MVP. Congratulations ALPHA X & Ammar!
ROOKIE DIVISION
Dominion Legion
A team from the huge family of Loco Legion, Dominion Legion is our representative in the Rookie Division. Toe dipping in their first committed tournament from the first leg in Penang, they are still finding their way into the rankings to reach their first podium. It may be just around the corner, letās keep on working for it. LETāS GO DOMINION LEGION!
Vanguard Legion
Another team from the Loco Legion clan & missing out in the first leg in Penang, Vanguard Legion went to the second leg guns blazing and to their surprise, they managed to get 4th placing on their debut. An achievement that needs to be celebrated. Congratulations VANGUARD LEGION and keep up the great work!
Lastly, our boys were going all out at this event. Having up to 6 players competing in the Midnight King 1on1. Everyone had their favourites but for us, it was hard to predict. We have Safieq Awe, Nemesis Legionās and paintball legend. Next is our young dragon, Syazani Roslan with his explosive snapshooting. Another big name in paintball 1v1, the 2024 N1V1C Champion, Arif Danial. We also have Vimal Kumar, the N1V1C 2025 participant also in the competition. Not to forget two representatives from Loco Legion, Zhafran and Muiz, for their first experience in 1v1s. Who would you choose? Well, ladies and gentlemen, here are the results.
Midnight King 1on1
Champion ā Safieq Awe
1st Runner Up ā Vimal Kumar
Congratulations to all the winner, and great effort to all that didnāt make it. We would say SMPL 2nd Leg, Port Dickson is what all paintballers are looking forward to a tournament. A great play venue, tons of eateries, friendly organizers and a walking distance to a healing play tourist spot. A standard set high by COD Paintball Port Dickson. Congratulationās organizers!
