PHNOM PENH: Malaysia claimed their first ever e-sports silver medal in the SEA Games via the Attack Online 2 (AK2) mixed team event, here yesterday.
The national team comprising five players lost 0-3 to Cambodia in a 90 minute-long gold medal match held at the Naga World 2 complex. National team manager, Andrew Cheong was very pleased with his team’s performance yesterday as they managed to hit the target of bringing home silver from Cambodia’s most popular online game.
AK2 is a ‘first person shooter’ video game for mobile devices and personal computer (PC).
Not only that, Cheong, who was also known as ‘Sir Cloud’, said the national team deserved a pat on their back as all players who represented the country were full-time workers. On behalf of the team, Cheong said he would like to thank the National Sports Council for allowing them to train in Bukit Jalil as well as the Olympic Council of Malaysia for their help and support in the biennial Games. – BERNAMA
