Malaysia’s MAG Leader, Chucky on Their Triumph at the Predator League 2025 Malaysia Qualifiers

Myth Avenue Gaming (MAG) has emerged as the champions of the Predator League 2025 Malaysia Qualifiers, earning their well-deserved spot at the upcoming regional tournament in January. We caught up with MAG’s team leader, Chucky, to discuss their incredible journey to victory, their strategy for the Grand Final, and what lies ahead as they prepare to represent Malaysia on the international stage.

A Historic Victory: Two Years in a Row

For Chucky and his team, winning the Malaysia Qualifiers for the second consecutive year was a moment of pride. “It felt great being able to play in this tournament, being able to represent Malaysia,” he shared. Their goal is clear: “I just hope that we can bring back the shield to Malaysia.” With the eyes of the nation upon them, MAG’s determination to secure the victory was palpable, and they delivered a performance that would leave a lasting impression.

Overcoming Obstacles: The Rematch with Odd Taxi

One of the most intense moments of the tournament came when Odd Taxi, a fierce contender in the competition, knocked MAG into the lower bracket. The pressure was on, but Chucky reflected on the rematch with a sense of calm. “We did prepare against Odd Taxi but unfortunately some of their players were unable to come and play,” he explained. While the absence of key players on Odd Taxi’s side played a role, Chucky emphasized that it wasn’t just about their own preparation. “But maybe we’ll say that the players just changed and they didn’t get enough preparation for this tournament.” Still, MAG’s ability to capitalize on the opportunity showed their tactical awareness and adaptability under pressure.

Strategic Mastery: The Power of Pudge and Meepo

The Grand Final saw MAG facing Odd Taxi again, but this time, they had a new strategy. In game three, they decided to draft Pudge and Meepo together, a move that would prove crucial to their victory. Chucky detailed the rationale behind the pick: “We know how they play, the strategy that they’re playing. So, Pudge and Meepo are quite strong against them because they mainly just focus on laning and waiting for us to make a move and make a mistake.” By selecting Meepo, a hero known for his fast farming, MAG was able to establish an early tempo that allowed them to snowball the game. The strategy paid off, and they went on to claim a flawless 3-0 victory in the Grand Final.

Looking Ahead: The APAC Predator League Showdown

With the regional finals just around the corner, Chucky is particularly excited about facing off against Execration, the Philippines Qualifier champions. Reflecting on his past experience with Execration, Chucky said, “Last time when I was playing in the Predator League Philippines, Execration was number two. So I hope that it will be a great match against them. And I hope that we can manage to beat them this time.” The challenge is on, and MAG is ready to bring their best game forward as they are looking forward at possibly going toe-to-toe with one of the strongest teams in the region.

MAG’s Commitment to Victory

Looking ahead to the APAC Predator League 2025, Chucky’s final words were filled with determination. “We’ll do our best in the upcoming tournament in the APAC Predator League and I’ll see you there.” As Malaysia’s representative, MAG is poised to make their mark at the regional tournament in January 2025. With their impressive performances, strong strategic play, and unshakable resolve, they are ready to take on the region’s finest and compete for international glory.

A Milestone for Malaysian Esports

MAG’s victory in the Malaysia Qualifiers is a significant achievement for Malaysian esports. After a remarkable lower bracket run, they emerged as champions, defeating Odd Taxi with a perfect 3-0 sweep in the Grand Final. With RM20,000 in prize money and a spot in the APAC Predator League 2025, MAG has set the stage for their next big challenge.

As they prepare to face the best teams from across the Asia Pacific region, the Malaysian esports scene stands proud, with MAG leading the charge. The road to the regional finals promises to be an exciting one, and we can’t wait to see how MAG performs on the international stage.
