Chan Kai Wei, the leader of Honor of King UTAR Team enthused, “This is our
first time participating in the e-Sports tournament. It was an exciting
moment when we won the champion because we weren’t sure if we were going to
win. I would say this tournament has helped me gained some sort of gaming
experience which could enhance my confidence level in the future. Of course,
if there’s another e-Sports tournament, I wish to participate again with my
team members. Having good team work is important in terms of discussing and
picking the heroes to use in the match. A piece of advice and encouragement
to my juniors, support e-Sports, join in and feel it!”
The Honor of King UTAR Team walked away with a cash prize of RM3,000 along
with a medal each.
