Gamers kicking it into high gear


The final of the Dota 2 ESL One Genting 2017 Championship at the Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting, drew thousands of gaming enthusiasts.

STATISTICS by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation show there are 14 million gamers in the country – close to half the population, an indication that many e-sports talents are waiting to be discovered.

According to ESports Malaysia (ESM) president Datuk Ananth S. Nathan, the inclusion of e-sports in the 2019 SEA Games is undoubtedly a step in the right direction as it will correct misconceptions about the sport.
