Yes, this account represents all official announcement by SMM, so its pretty legit
All latest SMM News will be posted on this thread and also on our Official Website at www.smm.net.my CHEERS!

I've read the comments over at Gosugamers, and many had said that SMM's date crash with Dreamhack, therefore many EU teams are going to Swed instead of Malaysia?

anybody got any comments over this issue?

some said SMM doesnt really want to see much euro team to go over for the events .. from gosugamer

The date from the Grand Finals has been confirmed since the start of the year, so it is only by chance and perhaps a mishap pity if it were to clash with other ongoing tourneys! I can assure you that there is not a single discrimination as to which International Teams should and/or could participate into the Grand Finals.

hmm... i'm kinda interested to know, that does SMM send invitation cards to International Teams? that'l be more convincing to those EU teams doesn't it?

but this year i hear that a lot pro team from other country are coming to join this event wor
only 20 team for International right?
I think very attactive oredi..no need too much

esc ur attractive too
can u stay with me at afamosa hotel?

looks like Raven is coming.

anticipating Raven vs Razer.SG, gonna be an epic match to see hyhy vs maelk with their trash talks. >9999 EGO on both sides. HAHAHA!!!

any news on europe team ?

offering a complimentary 2 days stay for the price of one (RM 288) at the hotel’s leisure family suite <--- Got promotion for 3 days? hehe

Eryc did say he will be reforming AEON.int with different players.

ok boys, time to train HARD!!! rawr~!!!

With their new roster, MYM.DotA will aim to venture further than they have, winning upcoming online and offline tournaments. At the moment, the team has confirmed that they will participate in the upcoming Farm4Fame: Second Blood and will be traveling to the beautiful country of Malaysia for the world's biggest LAN event, SMM Grand National DotA Tournament.



Huhu Maelk comment.. lets prove it wrong!

Btw, do spectators allow to watch the game there?? Do Cowboy function hall need tickets to go in?

Shoutcaster been confirmed by GameSTAH, Tobiwan & Will are the official Shoutbaster for this event.
