E-Sports Thailand Championship 2009 is an international gaming competition held by Future Gamer Co.Ltd. and Gsquare Channel of True Vision Co.Ltd. The objective of the competition is to raise the level of “Gaming” of Thai gamers to the level of “International E-Sport” status by providing an international standard venue for talented gamers to show their skills. The competition will provide an opportunity for the general public to get to know and understand that “Gaming” can become a serious “Sport”. The competition will help instill discipline, planning, teamwork and sportsmanship in the competitors. Apart from having fun, gamers will return to their region to raise the level of Thai gaming culture. The Government and Private sector will come to understand the importance of E-Sport as more than just “playing game”.

For those who remember, Kingsurf won this event 1 year ago with then new recruit "iceiceice" playing a crucial part in their final match win over Indonesia's Xcn.

Link of last year's live updates:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/667582

This time around, the organisers of ESTC has made it a bigger event. Under the motto of “More Than Game,It’s Sport” the organisers successfully invited more powerhouse teams from across their shores to grace the event. Below is the summary of the Malaysian teams and teams with Malaysians in it for everyone to root for.

Listed are the Malaysian teams and the Malaysian players in mixed foreign teams that are participating:

1. Kingsurf : Xiaogui, Yamateh, Sakura, Chuan, Ice

The defending champions head to Thailand once again to defend their title. This time, without iceiceice can they maintain their superb form that won them the title last time around? We shall find out.

2. INC Excello : Wenz, Nicx, Bboy, Zuki, Xiao|ing

The ACG 2009 Silver medalist jets off to Thailand in search for their first international tournament gold medal.

3. Survivor: Miao, Boyz, Ken, Ahdee and "the boss"

4. Mineski.INT : Kenchi, Xtinct, Xigz

5. AeonSport : Papaxiong

6. Cybertime.INT : Mushi, Net, Xiaoxiaofong

With such a huge Malaysian presence in the tournament, its hard to imagine Malaysia will be empty handed at the end of the tournament.

Last 16 will start today.

All our Malaysian teams and players are through. Credits to the organisers who arranged the brackets to separate our countrymen as far as possible in the brackets.

For those who are interested, PMS Asterisk failed to make it further than the last 32 after losing to Team Just from Thailand.

I have uploaded a few pics I can find of the event at the first post. Hopefully individuals who has better info can update everyone here as the news streams in.

iNc^Excello just start drafting their Top 16 match.

gl too all msia team

Into the final 16 teams together and write for the competition. ESTC Winter 2009: DotA-Allstars. Now that the international team a favorite. KS, Axis, AEON Sport, Mski.Int, Cybertime.Int, iNcExcello, iNcExcello, Etny.XtC. Also show the form Thep Thai terrorize team very well.

Now that the 16-team final round of many. Partners have already started together. Thai do not like the favorite team. BBH. That must be met with. Axis. Or. Cutto. That must be met with. AEON Sport. In the next few hours we will know then that in the final 8 teams who will be left.

And in part of the game's past is yesterday. The heart of any young DotA is to shatter dreams. When not a single flower in this event. PMS.Asterisk. To make a slip to the team defeated the Thai Just like pity. But she has earned that Tiggtgai friends whom are interested to join in the fun together online นะจ๊ะ.

And for competing in today Fans of Thai team. BBH. Would be another little sad. Because the last team. BBH. They just lose to the team. Axis. To the dank and. Cutto. The encounter with. AEON. Tha would be bad as well. But the race is how. We must come together by chance to each ครับ

Sorry google translation not that good. so the sentence seems a bit weird

no more update?

xTC vs xGN now.

Sent: Broodmother, Phantom Lancer, Crystal Maiden, Earthshaker and Puck
Scourge: Rhasta, Medusa, Ogre Magi, Tinker and Lion

I'm not sure which team belong to which side but that's the heroes of the respective side.

survivor travel to thailand 1st foreign team to lose how say?

first round lose straight can go find ah gua and have fun

anyway dont la discourage people who travel far to compete doesnt matter how far they go as long as they have the spirit of competitive... these teams helps alot of the DoTA community to grow rather than those teams who refuse to join tourney if their chance of winning is not high
