Will VMS secure First Blood in Game 1 against FL in MPL Malaysia Season 18 on August 14, 2026?

This market resolves YES if Team Vamos (VMS) is officially credited with First Blood in Game 1 of its MPL Malaysia Season 18 match against Team Flash (FL) on August 14, 2026. Otherwise, this market resolves NO.

Resolution Basis

Resolution will be based on the official Game 1 scoreboard, in-game event log, match statistics, or official broadcast published by MPL Malaysia or MLBB Esports.

The team officially credited with the first valid hero kill in Game 1 will be considered the First Blood winner.

Resolution Rules
This market applies exclusively to Game 1 of the official MPL Malaysia Season 18 match between Team Vamos (VMS) and Team Flash (FL) scheduled for August 14, 2026.
The market resolves YES if VMS is officially credited with First Blood.
The market resolves NO if FL is officially credited with First Blood.
First Blood means the first valid hero kill officially credited to either team in Game 1.
The individual player credited with the kill does not affect settlement. Only the team credited with First Blood matters.
Assists do not independently count as First Blood.
Minion kills, jungle-monster kills, Turtle kills, Lord kills, turret destructions, and other objectives are excluded.
A hero death caused entirely by a turret, minion, jungle monster, or other neutral source does not count unless the official scoreboard or event log credits a kill to VMS or FL.
If an apparent first kill is later corrected by the official match record, the corrected First Blood record will be used.
If Game 1 is officially voided and remade before completion, all First Blood events from the voided game are excluded. Only the official completed remake will count.
If Game 1 is paused and later resumed without being voided, the original First Blood event remains valid.
If Game 1 is completed and later replayed due to an official administrative ruling, the version officially recognized by MPL Malaysia as the valid Game 1 will determine settlement.
If Game 1 is awarded by forfeit, walkover, or administrative decision without being played and no official First Blood is recorded, the market will be void or remain unresolved according to the platform’s cancellation policy.
If the match is postponed or rescheduled, the market remains unresolved and the First Blood result from the rescheduled official Game 1 will be used.
Any official correction published before settlement will be applied.
How it is determined

The official Game 1 match record will be reviewed.

VMS is officially credited with First Blood → YES
FL is officially credited with First Blood → NO

The winner of Game 1 or the overall series does not affect settlement.

Examples
VMS records the first official hero kill at 2:05 → YES
VMS secures First Blood but later loses Game 1 → YES
FL records the first official hero kill → NO
A VMS player dies to a turret without any FL player receiving kill credit, then VMS records the first credited hero kill → YES
An apparent VMS First Blood occurs in a Game 1 that is officially voided; FL secures First Blood in the completed remake → NO
Game 1 is paused after VMS secures First Blood and later resumes normally → YES
VMS wins Game 1 but FL secured First Blood → NO
Important Notes
This market concerns only the official First Blood event in Game 1.
The winner of Game 1 and the winner of the overall series are irrelevant.
Only officially credited hero kills count.
Statistics from an officially voided game do not count.
Official MPL Malaysia and MLBB Esports records take precedence over third-party platforms.
