Mineski’s 2015 SEA grand finals to be held in Malaysia

 

Twelve teams from seven countries will be participating in this year’s Mineski Pro-Gaming League South-East Asian Grand Finals (MPGL7 SEA Grand Finals), set to take place from May 9-10.

 

For the first time, the finals will be held outside of the Philippines, instead taking place in Selangor, Malaysia as part of the 2015 Selangor Cyber Games. The prize pool is currently at PHP 2.2 million, more than double the amount from last year.

 

“The decision to move the grand finals from PH to Malaysia came into mind last year, right after the Season 6 grand finals,” said Marlon Marcelo, Mineski’s VP for Marketing and Events. “It was through Kenchi Yap and Mineski's effort to promote E-sports in the whole of Southeast Asia that the Malaysian government, particularly through the State Government of Selangor MY, agreed to help host our event.”

 

This year, the organizers decided to shorten the tournament format from previous year-long seasons.

 

Countries who will be represented in this year’s finals include:
