998hihi E-Sports – Malaysia's Most Complete & Trusted Esports Betting Platform

Esports in Malaysia — A Phenomenon Too Big to Ignore

And 998hihi is right there with you every step of the way

If you have siblings or friends who are into gaming, it's nearly impossible to avoid the topic of esports these days. In Malaysia, the esports industry has grown into something far beyond a hobby — it's now a sporting event watched by hundreds of thousands of fans, broadcast live in packed stadiums, and celebrated just like any other mainstream sporting competition. The platform 998hihi recognised this potential early on, which is why the Esports section at 998hihi has established itself as one of the most comprehensive and trusted platforms in Malaysia.

For most Malaysian players, Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) is a name close to their hearts. MPL Malaysia Season has grown into the country's biggest esports event, and 998hihi provides full betting coverage for every match in the league. From the group stage all the way to the grand final, you can place bets on your favourite teams — RSG Malaysia, Geek Fam, or Team HAQ — directly through the 998hihiplatform. MLBB betting markets at 998hihi cover match winner, map handicap, total kills, first blood, first tower, and many other prop markets.

Beyond MLBB, Valorant is also carving out a major presence in the Malaysian esports scene. Local teams have begun making their mark on the international stage through the VCT (Valorant Champions Tour), and the domestic fanbase is following every development with growing enthusiasm. At 998hihi, you can bet on VCT Pacific matches and various regional qualifier stages with markets updated in real time as the action unfolds.

PUBG Mobile is another popular choice among fans of battle royale action. With the PMGC (PUBG Mobile Global Championship) capturing global attention every year, 998hihi ensuring betting coverage is available across all stages of the tournament. You can bet on a team to win the overall championship, take a particular round, or even on an individual player to top the kill leaderboard in a match. This flexibility in betting markets is what makes the esports experience at 998hihi so compelling.

One key advantage that sets 998hihi apart from other platforms is its in-play betting feature for esports. Unlike traditional sports betting, esport matches can shift momentum in an instant – a three-second teamfight can completely turn the tide. With the in-play betting system at 998hihi updated in real time, you can react to in-game developments and place bets that reflect the current state of the match. This adds a level of strategic depth that goes well beyond traditional pre-match betting.

Understanding Esports Betting Markets at 998hihi

Many people wonder – what types of bets can you place on esports? At 998hihi, the options are far wider than you might expect. The most basic market is the moneyline, or outright winner, where you pick Team A or Team B to win the match. This is perfect for beginners who are just getting started in esports betting.

For more experienced bettors, 998hihi offers map handicap markets. For example, in an MLBB bo3, you can bet on Team A giving a -1.5 map handicap. This means Team A must win 2-0 for your bet to succeed. Returns on these markets are higher, and they require a solid understanding of the relative strengths between the two competing teams.

Total markets are also popular at 998hihi, particularly for games like Dota 2 and CS2. You bet on whether the total number of maps in a series will go over or under a set value. This market requires you to analyse both teams' playstyles – do they tend to play aggressively and close out matches quickly, or do games usually drag on to a deciding map?

What makes 998hihi are prop markets or special markets for individual matches. In MLBB, you can bet on which team takes the first tower, who will be named match MVP, the total kill count in a game, and more. These markets make the viewing and betting experience far more interactive and enjoyable — especially once you're familiar with a team's playstyle.
