SMM returns bigger than ever

Sendi Mutiara Mutlimedia better know as SMM have just announced the fifth edition to their highly popular DotA tournament, SMM Grand National DotA Tournament.

As promised by SMM CEO, Dato Dr.Ricky Lim, this year's SGNDT will see an increase in prize pool with the champion walking off with RM50000 compared to last year's RM42000. While the exact date and venue of the Grand Final have not been confirmed yet, rest assured the Grand Final event will be just as explosive as ever.
To ensure that only the best teams are able to play in the Grand Final event. Eight qualifiers will be held in different states throughout Malaysia, with the top four placing teams advancing into the Grand Finals. In addition, SMM have allowed a few top-tier teams from Malaysia to be seeded into the Grand Finals to allow less experienced teams to qualify. The seeded teams are Nirvana.my, INC'Excello, Kingsurf and MUFC. Sign-ups for the state qualifiers have already started. So start practicing people.

Following past tradition, SMM will be allowing international teams to join the event. All international teams will be spared from playing in the qualifiers and will be seeded directly for the finals to be held later in the year. Last year's SGNDT saw numerous teams from all the around the world flying to Malaysia to try their luck at grabbing the Grand Prize of RM42000. Teams of note include European powerhouse, MYM, defending champions from China, EHOME and the soon to be crowned champions of SGNDT09, FTD.

With the announcement being made, we will no doubt see teams scrambling to train long and hard to qualify. Will be see new teams rise up amongst the titans of Malaysia? Will MYM join SGNDT once again to get their revenge? Can China maintain their dominating power? All these will be answered in due course. Stay tuned to GosuGamers for the latest info on SGNDT10.
