Kingsurf finally received a ban outside the state of Johor...Might be a smart move to reginite heavy interest in the participation of tournaments in Malaysia or is it just the community's way to punish greatness? You guys decide.

To ban all their players is a bit unfair in my opinion. Limit the players to 2 or even 1 per team. That should increase the competitiveness of the scene overall and perhaps increase the teams joining by virtue of them forming 2 or even 5 teams to join depending on the bans on them.

1 thing to note. Since 2006, whichever team that won the tournament 1 week before SMM , wins the the whole thing. This tournament sure will be an exciting one to follow.

Ya, other Asian countries has tried similar attempts to boost the scene. For future tournaments with similar aims and aspirations, a better idea is to organise an "Amateur Tournament" where people such as yourself can sit at the registration counter and limit each team's players to 1 or 2 of the "top 4" teams in Malaysia at that time according to the organiser.

This could have the effect of the "top 4 team pros" setting up teams and pass on their knowledge to potential new talents and be the great players in the future. It will also certainly increase the number of teams participating and increase true competitiveness within the community.

I think V2 did a smart move this time around and is heading at the right direction to make the scene fresh. Great work from you guys.
