What's Trending in Malaysian Esports
MLBB: Malaysia's Most Popular Mobile Game
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang remains the most-watched and most-betted esports title in Malaysia. The MPL (Mobile Legends Professional League) at the regional Southeast Asian level draws millions of fans every season, with Malaysian teams like RSG and Geek Fam representing the country on the international stage. cr1 players can follow and bet on MPL Malaysia matches directly through the E-Sports section of the platform.
DOTA2 and International-Level Competition
Malaysia's DOTA2 community closely follows The International — the biggest annual esports tournament in the world, with prize pools reaching tens of millions of USD. cr1 provides betting coverage for group stage matches, knockout rounds, and the grand final, with odds updated live as each match unfolds.
CS2 and Valorant for FPS Fans
For fans of tactical shooters, the CS2 Major Championships and Valorant Champions Tour offer a wide range of betting options — from straightforward match winner bets to more detailed map handicap wagers. cr1 caters to players who genuinely know how these games work.
A Different Esports Betting Experience at cr1
As the match unfolds, odds shift in real time based on in-game developments. Tower losses, hero deaths, and major objectives all directly impact the odds, making every moment of a match a unique opportunity.
Beyond outright winner betting, you can also bet on the first map/game, match handicap, total maps played, and a range of prop bet options — letting players put their in-depth team knowledge to good use.
Esports matches take place almost every day around the world — from Southeast Asian regional leagues to international tournaments in Europe and North America. That means cr1 players always have something to follow, with no need to wait for a specific sports season.
Unlike physical sports where official results can take hours, esports matches deliver clear, immediate outcomes. Winnings are typically credited to your cr1 account within minutes of a match ending.

How Malaysian Players Follow Esports on cr1
MLBB Fans During MPL Season
During MPL Malaysia weekends, many cr1 players follow matches live on their favourite streaming platform while placing live bets through the cr1 mobile app. Fast access and real-time odds make watching the games that much more exciting.
Urban Students & Young Professionals
Malaysia's esports community is largely made up of young players in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, and Johor Bahru. They typically access cr1 via smartphone during their free time, with an interface optimised for smaller screens that makes navigating between betting categories quick and effortless.
Following International Tournaments Late at Night
Many high-profile esports tournaments — such as The International DOTA2 or a CS2 Major — are held in European or North American time zones, which means Malaysian players are often tuning in late at night or in the early hours. cr1 runs 24/7, and bets can be placed at any time as long as a match is still active.
Casual Players Looking to Try Esports
Not every cr1 player is a hardcore esports fan. Many try esports betting because of its frequent schedule and bet types that are easier to grasp than physical sports handicaps. A simple mobile match winner bet is a great starting point for new players.
