The inaugural Mini EsportsCon today brought together electronic sports (e-sports) stakeholders among leading local and international game publishers at the Parliament building here. Esports Integrated (ESI) said the event was held to celebrate the dynamic and rapidly expanding e-sports industry in Malaysia. In addition, it also provided space for engagement sessions between e-sports industry players and Parliament members, particularly the Members of Parliament (MPs), as national legislators. "I want to thank all MPs who were present and others who turned up to support the Mini EsportsCon at Parliament. "This event marks an important achievement in recognising the potential of e-sports as a dynamic and influential industry. We hope the incentives will be well-received and give a clearer picture to policymakers about the expanding e-sports landscape,' said Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abd Halim in the statement. The Mini EsportsCon, organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports through ESI, was also jointly managed by the Malaysia Electronic Sports Federation (MESF), Moonton, Tencent, Raceroom Asia, Gamesbond, Ammobox Studios, Kaigan Games and Todak Studios. The activities held included an introduction session to e-sports and a game demonstration session offering hands-on experience with various game titles. Mini EsportsCon also featured the presentation of the National Esports Development Guidelines (NESDEG) developed to support the implementation of strategies under the National Electronic Sports Strategic Plan 2020-2025. "MESF also showcased Esports MedicA, an initiative created to provide education and health-related advisory services to industry players, especially the players,' it added. Source: BERNAMA News Agency
