MalaysiaYouth and Sports Minister, YB Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said: “Malaysia is among the ‘Big 6’ esports nations in Southeast Asia that account for over 98% of esports enthusiasts in this region. Southeast Asia is the fastest growing region for esports, with the number of esports enthusiasts expected to double to 19.8mn in 2019, from 9.5mn in 2016. Malaysia has the potential to be the region’s esports hub because our youths are passionate about esports.

Therefore, holding an international tournament such as The Kuala Lumpur Major is significant as it provides opportunities for our esports industry to be on par with the global best. The Ministry looks forward to closer cooperation with esports organisations to accelerate the development of esports in Malaysia. This is crucial as esports would become a competitive sport at the 2022 Asian Games,” during the event launch yesterday.
