Other members of the multinational team include Daryl “iceiceice” Koh from Singapore, Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong from Thailand and Michael “ninjaboogie” Ross Jr. from the Philippines. This glorious win for them allows the team to qualify for The International Dota 2 tournament at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on August 20.

AirAsia is also a special sponsor for Mineski since January as part of the airline’s venture into eSports and were quick to congratulate them on social media. Chai, who is a highly respected gamer in the industry, is already a millionaire before this tournament. He had reportedly earned more than RM3.5 million and is a role model for many eSports fans.
