The Sun Team

TWO national eSports teams – Team SMG and HomeBois are representing Malaysia at this year’s Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship.

The teams were given a send-off by Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abdul Halim in parliament on Nov 27. Each team was given a Malaysian flag to take with them to the tournament, which is also dubbed the M5 World Championship and is being hosted by the Philippines.

HomeBois qualified after being crowned MPL Malaysia season 12 Champion, while Team SMG secured the spot at the M5 World Championship by being one of the two teams to win the M5 Wild Card tournament.
