Axis Esports is the Esports Pro League's first Malaysian franchisee

Malaysian esports tournament organiser Axis Esports will be the Esport Pro League’s (ESPL) first country franchisee. ESPL is a Singapore-based global esports tournament platform. 

The announcement was made at Level Up KL 2019, when Olympic Council Malaysia President Dato’ Sri Mohd Norza Zakaria and ESPL CEO Michael Broda signed an agreement marking ESPL and Axis Esport’s partnership. 

ESPL was announced in October 2019, with plans to host tournaments in 16 countries, including Asia, Europe and the Americas, from February to December 2020. The tournaments will focus on mobile games, but will also include some PC and console games. These online and offline tournaments will be organised with the help of third-party organisers and game publishers - Axis Esports being the first among them to be announced.
