In the lower bracket final on 11/10, Noob Team faced Tranquillizer again, securing a 3-1 win to claim the remaining final berth.

The national final of Visa VMC Fall 2026 will be played in a best-of-7 (Bo7) format, with the first team to win four games being crowned champion.

According to Dinh Quang Nguyen, an analyst for Saigon Phantom, Noob Team possesses a broad champion pool and is willing to select less conventional champions at this stage of the tournament. This aspect requires careful consideration from the Saigon Phantom coaching staff.

"Saigon Phantom will pay attention to unexpected champions or movements from the opponent. The team needs to perform at its best and limit mistakes to prevent Noob Team from capitalizing", Nguyen remarked.

The Visa VMC Fall 2026 champion will be awarded 250 million VND in prize money and a direct slot in the MLBB Championship Tour SEA (MCT SEA), a regional tournament that serves as a qualifier for the M8 World Championship.
