Get into the game: Fight club

Do fighting games have the potential to break into the mainstream esports scene in Malaysia?

The esports scene in Malaysia is dominated by genres like multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) – popular titles include Dota 2 and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) – battle royale games and first-person shooters, leaving some segments, like fighting games, in the cold.

Infinite Carnage, an organiser of fighting game events and tournaments, hopes that will change, lamenting that the genre currently lacks support.
