Esports Integrated (ESI) had successfully streamed the third event of Esports Integrated Challenge Series themed “Kaki Bola Edition” last night on Facebook Live Page ESI – Esports Integrated. The event was attended by YB Dato’ Sri Reezal Merican Naina Merican, Minister of Youth and Sports, and Ahmed Faris Amir, Chief Executive Officer of ESI at VisualThree Studio in Selangor.
Hosted by Fiera Fendi, the fun-match FIFA21 tournament featured 8 participants from four different groups of personalities namely celebrities, athletes, streamers and FIFA pro-players. The lineups are Tomok (celebrity), Francisca Luhong (Miss Universe Malaysia), Soloz (mobile games pro-player and streamer), Daddyhood (mobile games pro-player and streamer), Steffi Sidhu (futsal athlete), Sean Selvaraj (football athlete), Luqmanhaziq (FIFA Pro), and Ayen (FIFA Pro).
“Today, I am proud to see our national players representing Malaysia Football League (MFL) and eMalaysia Football League (eMFL) here competing in a friendly match to expand the awareness of our Esports industry. I hope that more Malaysians would be inspired by these talents to participate in this booming industry and make Malaysia proud,” said Dato’ Sri Reezal Merican Naina Merican.
Team Eagle (Ayen and Daddyhood) was crowned the champion to take home RM5,000 cash prize after defeating Team Panther (Luqmanhzq and Ayen) in the final match. Although it was a huge defeat for national FIFA Pro-player Luqmanhzq, it was still amazing to watch national Esports FIFA athletes like Ayen and himself to compete among casual FIFA players who are also the key opinion leaders (KOLs) of their industries.
Lucky audiences who took part in the giveaway contest will bring home the prize pool money worth up to RM3,000 and exclusive merchandise sponsored by VCMC, Football Association of Selangor (FAS), and GamesBond. ESI Challenge Kaki Bola Edition was supported by eGG Network, Team Bosskurr, CoGear Productions, Optimum Information, and Alhamra Games.
