Malaysian esports reached new heights today as both Team Secret and NOVA Esports secured their positions in the Top 6 at the 2024 Honor of Kings Championship, where teams are competing for a $1,000,000 USD prize pool.
The fourth day of the Knockout Stage Loser Bracket featured two crucial elimination matches, with both Malaysian teams emerging victorious in decisive fashion.
Team Secret displayed exceptional performance in their match against Hong Kong’s Fearless Esports HK, securing a commanding 3-0 victory. The clean sweep demonstrated Team Secret’s strategic prowess and precise execution throughout the series. Following this, NOVA Esports maintained Malaysia’s winning momentum by defeating Blacklist International, the last remaining Filipino team in the tournament, with another impressive 3-0 scoreline. NOVA’s dominant performance further solidified their reputation as one of the tournament’s strongest contenders.
The stage is now set for an all-Malaysian clash in the Lower Bracket Semifinals, where Team Secret and NOVA Esports will face each other tomorrow. This guaranteed Malaysian presence in the later stages of the tournament marks a significant achievement for the country’s esports scene. However, only one team will advance to the Loser Bracket Finals and continue their championship pursuit.
This remarkable performance by both Malaysian teams ensures the country’s strong representation in the prestigious tournament’s final stages, as they compete for the coveted championship title during the Honor of Kings Championship 2024.
