The success of the Selangor Red Giants (SRG) in winning the Mid-Season Cup Mobile Legend Bang Bang (MLBB) 2024 tournament not only created history for the Malaysian team. It opened the eyes of many parties and changed their perception of the world of e-sports. So, what should you know about it?

For your information, the government agreed to provide RM20 million in empowering the e-sports ecosystem which includes talent development as well as upgrading the e-sports arena. This announcement can be considered interesting considering that funds for sports developers are now being returned after being included along with video game development in last year's budget presentation.

We have yet to confirm other details on the news. So, we should wait for more confirmation from the government. Hopefully, everything will be resolved soon.
