Muhd Haqqullah aka Sekyss, the MVP of this tournament mentions that, “I’m totally grateful for this wonderful achievement. I believe every single opponent worked really hard to win this tournament. As for The Academy, I believe this is a platform for me and my team to go further in this career. Thank you to On Air Pipol for their huge support, without them, me and my team can’t make it. This achievement is proof that Esports is not just about the game, but it defines who you are as a person. I do believe that without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.”

“Homebois is now not only focusing on the competitive arena, but also venturing into the field of live streaming and producing new talents in the lifestyle and entertainment industry. The Academy is part of our initiative to develop new talents in the industry and we are extremely happy with the results that it brings till this day,” says Tuan Azrin Izzuddin “Avaaa” Tuan Abu Bakar, Project Director of HomeBois.

Stephanie Kuan, ESPL’s Head of Marketing & Community Development shares that “as HomeBois is already a big player in the Malaysian esports league, we are glad to be able to collaborate with them as well as contribute as much as possible in realising their vision to provide a comprehensive platform for the community, which already aligns with ours. It is an honour for us to be present in the rise of these new champions and at the same time are excited for future collaborations to bring more immersive experience among the grassroots esports community”.

This championship is a part of HomeBois’ talent acquisition and development programme in search for hidden talents among the esports community to join in The Academy. These talents will be trained in every aspect of becoming professional esports players with massive chances to represent HomeBois in big tournaments. This will also open up better career opportunities in the esports industry and educate the talents on digital broadcasting skills.
