ur so funny... have u ever book a hotel without paying or credit card guarantee?? lol

expected in the current esports situation... change here and there, skip here and there... disband and form...

SMM released the tournament structure and final prizes with hardware...
www.smm.net.my

i guess previously SMM offer for the price of Rm288 for 2 nights is good for a family studio type of room. But ur too late, SMM closed the hotel reservation dy. fyi, there is no nearby hotel there, all hotel are in afamosa resort.. if you got a transport maybe can consider stay at Tampin.. but not sure of the rate also..

i think will be same as last year, draw during registration time gua..

fly all the way from Kazakhstan... i think should have some potential bah.. else purposely fly here and show their ass to be kick... lol

anyway, SMM is getting more interesting... looking forward for this..
and indeed there are a lot of bunting hanging at melaka....
