Malaysia's ABC dominates Armaggeddon Dota 2 Grand Slam 2013
In an attempt to break into the eSports scene, gaming peripheral company Armaggeddon had recently hosted one of the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the region. Dubbed as the Armaggeddon Grand Slam Asia 2013, it saw teams from all around the region competing for the top title and ultimately a sponsorship contract from the company itself.
Malaysia's very own ABC, or for some particular reason which stands for Apple Banana Cucumber, were one of the clear favourites throughout the competition alongside Singapore's up-and-coming First Departure. Led by one of the more experienced Malaysian Dota 2 player and previous captain for Orange eSports, 'Winter' certainly played a critical role for the team's success throughout the tournament.
They advanced through to the finals with a completely undefeated streak and was finally set up against First Departure again (after sending them down to the lower bracket previously in the tournament).
ABC took the early lead in the first game, but loss focus in the second leading to a third and final determining round on who would take home the sponsorship contract. But once again ABC proved their dominance in the tournament and edged through, taking home the championship title with a 2 – 1 win.
Final placings:
1st: ABC - $5000 + $7500 sponsorship contract
2nd: First Departure - $2000 + $5000 sponsorship contract
3rd: Awake - $1000 + $2000 sponsorship contract

Stand a chance to be sponsored by Armaggeddon at DOTA 2 Grand Slam Asia 2013
If the rather recent DOTA 2 The Asia wasn't itself a feast for our eyes on our regional DOTA 2 eSports scene, you will be glad to hear that even more action will be taking place as up and coming gaming gear manufacturers Armaggeddon will be organising a huge tournament regionally, or in their own words, a 'DOTA 2 Grand Slam'.
At first glance, what will catch your eye would probably be its prize pool of up to $20,000 for its Grand Slam finals in Singapore (and the RM10,000 allocated for the Malaysian Grand Finals). Though well this is not the biggest amount an eSports tournament has offered before, it is ultimately still a large sum of money and would forseeably attract some of our top talents, regionally and locally.
But what is more interesting, and definitely worth a shot, is Armaggeddon's offer for an exclusive sponsorship contract with them and their 'corporate alliance' with some of the top brands in the industry like AMD, Asus and Valve.
Quite obviously, Armaggeddon is scouting for an up and coming DOTA 2 team to fully-sponsor, support, and nurture while bringing their company's brand up as well. With that, they have opened the Grand Slam tournament around Asia for the usual SEA countries and even extending to Sri Lanka, though noticeably missing out huge countries like India and China.
The Grand Slam finals which will determine who the company will ultimately sponsor is set on the 9th of March at Singapore, Marina Bay Sands. But meanwhile, Armaggeddon has opened up registrations for its very first sets of qualifier in Malaysia and Singapore which will begin as early as (at the point of writing this) exactly next week - 25th January.
