In Malaysia, ESG is categorized as a professional E-sport team. Although ESG is based in Johor, all of the players are from different states in Malaysia. Team ESG is also mainly sponsored by BK8.

Mobile gaming e-sports has gradually emerged in Malaysia and its popularity has grown rapidly among young Malaysians.

Also, BK8 has been a very supportive sponsor for the tournaments.
Hanson Chan, the chairman and vice president of 5v5 E-sport, said that one of the main reasons why mobile game e-sports is so widely loved in Malaysia is that the participation criteria is low. As long as you own a mobile phone, you are able to participate. Many people have been thinking that e-sports is equivalent to playing games. This is a huge misunderstanding as playing games shall be a casual activity where you enjoy yourselves by casually playing the game just for the fun and excitement. As for E-sports, factors like technology, team communication, psychological quality and tactics have to be put into account in order to win. The only difference between sports and e-sports is that e-sport players do not sweat.
Hanson Chan, vice president, expressed that he hopes to build an e-sport platform in Malaysia in order to provide opportunities for Malaysian players to achieve their dream to be a professional e-sport player. He hopes that people would believe in the future of e-sports and view it as a career opportunity just like sports.
