“We’ve been looking into regional, multi-title tournaments for some time after organizing community level tournaments in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines for the past year and getting feedback from students asking for a dedicated tournament of their own,” said Ariff Abu, team lead at FIGHT Esports Malaysia.

“The FIGHT Campus League will pave a way for students to compete in selected top titles and demonstrate many different skill levels across several demographics.”

The FIGHT Campus League Malaysia also marks the partnership between FIGHT Esports with TikTok Malaysia, following the previously-inked partnership with TikTok Southeast Asia.
