The driving force behind this successful event is Mun Wai. A very active WE player, he held several honors in local WE/PES circle including ESWC Malaysia 2004 Champion and also actively organize mini-tournament at his shop near Taman Maluri, KL. He managed to convince Ogawa to support this event in conjunction with the showcase of Ogawa’s new X-Chair.

According to Mun Wai, Ogawa are pretty happy with the event turnout and there is a high possibility that the event will return again in a bigger scale. Certainly, such a support by multinational company outside the IT industry in gaming events will be a much welcomed boost to the local eSports scene.
