The only game S.E.A is really successful at is DotA. Call them Dotards or whatever but as far as I'm concerned, they're the only ones doing a great job promoting e-Sports in our country and proving that Asians can be competitive as well.

I witnessed the growth of the DotA scene in Malaysia with my own eyes.

I was a DotA player once and I can tell you, the competitive scene in Malaysia those days were so small you'd only find a few proper teams to scrim with.

Then slowly, international tournaments hosted by MYM and such appeared which allowed Asian teams to join and try to compete with the world's best. The competitive scene was really heating up and many new teams were formed.

So my question is this, do you know what inspires people to work hard and play the game so well to achieve glory and God knows whatelse?

Competition.

Right now things are heating up in our country. Alot of teams are being formed here and there and so are tournaments.

But believe me when I say one day, you're all going to get bored of playing with each other. Because no matter how much you play, you're just the best in Malaysia. Does it matter?

It's just a matter of time before people abandon this game due to the lack of competition. Even reigning champions would get bored of winning the same thing over and over.

People strive to become the best in the world. New challenges. Zenith and Kingsurf proved to the world that we are not people to look down upon. Pity for them their final wasn't on stage.

And who says there are no pro-gaming teams around S.E.A? Do you know Fnatic signed up XcN's (Indonesian) Dota team?

With the vast number of teams Malaysia has, why don't we actually help the INTERNATIONAL CoD4 scene (Not the LOCAL scene), which is apparently dying, by providing them with more support. I thought SKOTH4 would've been a great start but sadly, it is canceled.

Then again, it's up to the Malaysian community to decide what they want best. Who am I to speak

I'm sorry if I sounded like I don't trust you but it's just the fact is, other countries are moving on to COD5 and the competition for COD4 internationally isn't strong anymore.

We on the other hand are just playing among ourselves, among Malaysians. If PAM4 is recognized, even if it's just around S.E.A, I would definitely play it. But it's the fact that only we, and maybe a few other countries, are playing it. I fear that we will never get a chance to prove ourselves internationally in COD4.
