“For the group stage, three points will be awarded to a team with one win. Teams in the first and second place in the group stage will be facing off in the knockout round,” he said.

Ehsan said the winner for the championship will bring home RM5,000 cash prize and a trophy.

Meanwhile, he said the main reason to organise the championship was to revive the offline or LAN (Local Area Network) Dota competition scene in Sarawak.

Besides that, the competition also aimed at promoting D-Arena to eSports athletes and enthusiasts in the state.

“In fact, the championship aims to promote D-Virtual Park in Kota Samarahan because not many people know about the existence of this place,” said Ehsan.
