Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today unveiled its initiatives to support the Malaysian esports national team for the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games 2019.  The SEA Games will be held in Philippines in November 2019. As the official esports partner of the event, Razer will put its muscle behind the young talents in Team Malaysia to help them achieve their full potential.  Razer will provide world-class professional training and  gear for the Malaysian team. The tournament gear includes products such as the Razer DeathAdder Elite gaming mouse, the BlackWidow Elite mechanical gaming keyboard, and the iconic Kraken Tournament Edition Headset.  Razer will also rally millions of Malaysian gamers to root for their national team as they compete on an international level.

The initiative will be in collaboration with Esports Malaysia (ESM) through social media and community events.

These initiatives are part of Razer’s RM10 million long-term commitment to E-sports in Malaysia, as declared by Razer CEO and Co-Founder Min-Liang Tan in 2018. The commitment was made in response to Malaysia’s Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq’s own commitment of the same amount to develop the e-sports industry in Malaysia. First Pro Esports Boot Camp Razer today supports 18 champion teams with players from 25 countries.  Team Razer athletes have in turn, won over US$10 million in prize money over the past two years.

The five official SEA Games esports titles are:  On the PC: Dota2 and StarCraft II On smartphones (e.g. Razer Phone 2): Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Arena of Valor On gaming consoles (e.g. Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox): Tekken 7
