The Malaysian side shows some unexpected vote results, with my Nara Stack – a team of Malaysian pubstars coming up top by a surprising margin. Following second place is my MalayAllStar, the local Malays’ favourite team with my Neolution.Orange‘s Kecik`Imba on the team. my Gizmo Gaming came up third in the votes, returning to the scene after a 4 month hiatus. Contraire to the invite requirements of the AMD2PL qualifiers, my KD2M E-Sports, a newly formed team with no tournament participation under their belts surprisingly receiving an invite to the Malaysian qualifiers over other teams coming up in 4th.
