ICYMI, we're right in the middle of the M4 World Championship, a.k.a. the biggest Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) tournament in the world.
And what's special is that we have two national e-sports teams repping our country in the top 16. Woohoo, Malaysia boleh! :D
Happening from 1 to 15 January, the fourth iteration of the tournament is taking place in Indonesia, with a live audience for the very first time.
All 16 teams will be competing for a prize pool of US$800,000 (RM3.5 million), with the first place team walking away with US$300,000 (RM1.3 million).
The M4 World Championship is split into the group stage and knockout stage, which will feature a double-elimination format. So far, the group stages have been heated, and MLBB fans won't wanna miss all the action that's coming up! :O
Here's a look at both Malaysian e-sports teams:
Team HAQ
Once members of Orange Esports, Team HAQ worked their way to rewrite their story from the qualifiers to secure their very first MPL Malaysia championship.
The underdogs won the hearts of many during the playoffs, with their indomitable spirit and camaraderie. Their fans are highly passionate about the team, as they have proven that they have what it takes to be champions in their own right.
Team HAQ comprises of power duo and twins, Minn and Mann, as well as Waff, Garyy, Syamskyyy, Panda, and Lolla.
TODAK
Known as one of Malaysia's oldest e-sports teams, TODAK has a huge fanbase in the nation, with the intent to be the best gaming community leader. Champions of MPLMY Season 9 and MYSG Season 6, the team's unbeatable chemistry has proven to be their best asset throughout their years of operation.
CikuGais, Moon, Yums, Momo, 4Meyz, and Rival make up the winning combination of TODAK, who have fought many great and exciting battles together.
In support of Team HAQ and TODAK, the entire KL Tower was recently lit up with cheers and words of encouragement.
