GAMING | Philippines Makes Its Mark at Cabal Fest 2026
The Southeast Asian Cabal scene finally collided on one unified battlefield during Cabal Fest 2026: True Champions, with Philippine teams emerging as some of the strongest contenders in the region.
Organized by Combo Interactive, the event marked the first time in the MMORPG’s 20-year history that major Cabal communities from Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the wider Southeast Asian region competed under one stage.
According to the organizers, Cabal Fest 2026 gathered more than 10,000 registered players, 60,000 live viewers, 90 professional players, and 18 top teams across Southeast Asia. Beyond the main tournament, the festival also featured quiz battles, upgrading challenges, KOL nation showmatches, mystery box events, and server-wide rewards that turned the event into a large-scale celebration for the Cabal community.
Philippine Teams Reach the Podium
The Philippines secured podium finishes across the tournament’s competitive divisions, proving its presence in the regional Cabal esports scene.
In the CABAL: Ultimate Combo division, Thailand’s TreeMaple claimed the championship, followed by fellow Thai squad Skibidi Rangers. Philippine team Amplified secured third place.
Meanwhile, in the CABAL: Infinite Combo division, Philippine squad MANGOLA FAMIGLIA reached the grand finals against Thailand’s SunnyXD. The finals reportedly went down to a tightly contested 2-2 scoreline before SunnyXD secured the championship victory.
The organizers described the match as one of the defining moments of SEA Cabal competition in 2026.
