Mogul running Online Challenge alongside SEA Games

Tournament and matchmaking platform Mogul has announced that they're joining forces with Razer to run the SEA Games Esports Online Challenge alongside the Southeast Asian Games, with esports making its inaugural appearance at the event.

From November 28 to December 20, gamers at home or in PC cafes can get involved with the Online Challenge by playing the same titles as those in the SEA Games, these being Hearthstone, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Arena of Valor, and Dota 2.

"Mogul is thrilled to be partnering with Razer to run the SEA Games Esports Online Challenge as esports is recognised as a medal sport for the first time. This is a historic moment for esports and Mogul showcasing Mogul's industry-leading, world-class platform and technology making such an event possible," Mogul's Managing Director Gernot Abl said.

"Razer is excited to draw on our esports expertise as Official Esports Partner of the SEA Games to support the SEA Games Esports Online Challenge. The inclusion of esports as a medal event is an important step for the esports industry and utilising Mogul's platform to allow players to join in at home or in PC cafes, is a great way to connect professional and grassroots players across the region," added David Tse, Global Esports Director at Razer.
