Ooredoo Nation’s Gamers Land hosted the closing stage of the Ramadan E-Sports Festival 2K26 last weekend, bringing together players from across the local gaming community for the final rounds of competition.
The festival featured four games: Tekken, EAFC, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and PUBG Mobile. With a combined prize pool of MVR 40,000, each game had been allocated a prize pool of MVR 10,000, with the champions receiving MVR 5,000.
The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang event was won by LNN SLFO, better known in the esports community as Sleeping Forest. The team defeated Kalhu Oh Fummi in the grand final held on Friday, continuing a run of strong performances in local MLBB tournaments.
In Tekken, the final was played between MUG Abaan and Thaabish. Abaan, using Jack-8, secured the title with a win over Thaabish, who had selected Claudio. Another MUG player, Ashwan, finished third to complete the podium places.
The PUBG Mobile competition ended with DGN Syndicate claiming the title. LF Azakaya finished as runners-up, while Gameover Rejects took the remaining podium spot.
The EAFC final was fought between two members of MUG, Yaish and Raaidh. Both players selected Paris Saint-Germain, but Yaish pulled ahead during the match and finished with a 5-2 result to secure the championship.
The Ramadan E-Sports Festival is part of Ooredoo Nation’s Gamers Land initiative, which continues to host regular events aimed at bringing together players from different segments of the Maldivian gaming community.
