The esports scene is growing in Malaysia, and just recently we covered an article about the flourishing industry. Pro-gamers don’t just compete within this country; they also get a chance to compete internationally and represent Malaysia, for a chance of fame and glory on the global stage. And the stage this time is in England.

In a news article by The Star, the Commonwealth Esports Championships is a pilot event resulting from the partnership between the Global Esports Federation and the Commonwealth Games Federation. There will be three titles for players to compete in, Dota 2 (Valve), eFootball (Konami) and Rocket League (Psyonix).

The event will take place in Birmingham, England, on 6 and 7 August 2022, and it will take place in conjunction with the Commonwealth Games.

MESF also added that it aims to advance the esports industry on a national and international level along with the unveiling of a new logo designed in the style of Harimau Malaya.

The new logo encapsulates our Harimau Malaya, which represents nobility, strength, bravery and determination.

A tiger is fearless in the face of obstacles and is resilient in all situations. And that is what MESF, its members and players are made of.
