According to Yasmin Liyana from Garena’s Campus Outreach Team. The presence of GSA is important for the clubs to get ready for collegiate tournaments.

“In the recent Malaysia Campus League (MYCL), the universities played for a slot to compete internationally. However, they’ll be playing for much more during the GSA Championships as the overall champions will walk away with a cash prize and partial scholarships for their future education. “Our primary objective is to educate the students through hands-on experience and hope the Malaysian campus scene becomes the pioneer region for Southeast Asia.” she added..

Established in April 2017, GSA was designed to empower passionate student gamers. To build a thriving gaming community and healthy eSports scene on campus. For more information you can visit http://gsa.garena.com.
