Courageous M’sia aim to beat hosts for first esports gold

Calm before the storm: The Malaysian esports team posing for a photograph ahead of their final match against China.

IT was a fearless show from Malaysia’s young esports team as they set themselves up for at least a silver in the Arena of Valor team competition.

It will be first time the nation has ever won an esports medal since its introduction in the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games. However, they will have to raise their game in the final as they will be up against China, where the game was developed.
