Saigon Phantom's Undefeated Run: The Real Story of VMC Fall 2026 Is ANTGAMER's Silent Collapse

On September 27, 2026, the group stage of Visa VMC Fall 2026 concluded, with defending champion Saigon Phantom finishing undefeated at 10-0. But the real story sits at the bottom of the table: ANTGAMER, last spring's runner-up, went 0-10. The tournament, Vietnam's national MLBB championship feeding into the MLBB Championship Tour SEA and M8 World Championship, saw Noob Team, a first-time qualifier, finish second at 6-4. MVP data shows Saigon Phantom's balanced dual-threat offense (Joww 4, newcomer Hehehehehehe 3), Tranquillizer's dual-carry dependency (VisethNB 4, Benny 4), and Noob Team's teamplay-based success. The Bo5 single-elimination playoffs begin October 10-11, with a Bo7 LAN final at AEON Mall Tan Phu Celadon on October 17. The champion earns 250 million VND plus a spot in the M8 pathway. While Saigon Phantom is the clear favorite, single-elimination variance, Noob Team's potentially overstated surprise, VisethNB's unverified Lao-player eligibility, and ANTGAMER's unexplained collapse all make this a tournament full of hidden risk and narrative depth.
