“We feel incredibly honoured to have the opportunity to host the next edition of the APAC Predator League. This tournament is one of the ways we can support Malaysia’s ambition of becoming a hub for eSports in Southeast Asia as it will feature players and teams from across Pan Asia Pacific. We will do our utmost best to show the region what Malaysian hospitality has to offer the gaming community and hope to inspire more local talents who aspire to join the industry,” said Kon.
The grand finals of the APAC Predator League 2024 in Manila drew over 15,000 spectators who witnessed Blacklist International and Team Secret clinching victory in Dota 2 and Valorant, respectively. The tournament showcased intense competition, with both teams winning US$65,000 each along with the prestigious Predator Shield.
Additionally, Intel MVP Awards were presented to outstanding players Polo “Raven” Fausto (Dota 2) and Jeremy “Jremy” Cabrera (Valorant), each receiving an extra US$10,000 and the Intel MVP Award Trophy. Both runners-up teams, Exacration (Dota 2) and FAV gaming (Valorant) received US$20,000 for their commendable performance.
