Who were Orange eSports?

Orange eSports were a Malaysian Dota 2 organisation best remembered for a landmark run at The International 2013 (TI3), where their all-Malaysian roster finished 3rd — at the time the best-ever TI placement and highest earnings for a Southeast Asian team (~US$287,441).

The TI3 roster

The bronze-medal lineup was Mushi (Chai Yee Fung), Ohaiyo (Khoo Chong Xin), kYxY (Lee Kong Yang), XtiNcT (Joel Chan Zhan Leong) and Net (Lim Wai Pern) — all Malaysian.

Legacy

That core seeded the Team Malaysia project (2014–15), which earned Southeast Asia's only direct invite to TI 2015 and was then signed by Fnatic, beginning the well-known Malaysian-core Fnatic era. Orange eSports' TI3 bronze remains a touchstone for Malaysian Dota 2.
