Season Two Regional Spotlight: Southeast Asia



Southeast Asia's two best teams emerged from Garena's newest professional eSports circuit, the Garena Premier League. Like the upcoming Season Three Championship Series, the Garena Premier League features eight professional teams from around Southeast Asia. GPL teams are made up of highly skilled and dedicated players, all of whom play League of Legends full time.
From the two qualifying events, one in Taipei, the other in Da Nang, two teams, the local favorites, emerged victorious: The Taipei Assassins and the Saigon Jokers.

Taipei Assassins - Season Two Regional Southeast Asia Winners

For dedicated eSports fans, Taipei Assassins are known as a team often cited as one of the strongest in the world, despite having not played in any challenger circuit events this year. Taipei Assassins spent most of this year completely dominating the Garena Premier League, with a current record of 29-2. Long-time followers of high-Elo League of Legends players will recognize star players MiStaKe and Lilballz, both of whom were commonly seen on the top of the North American ladder during Season One, and Lilballz was even once a member of Counter Logic Gaming NA. Taipei Assassins brings with them the confidence of having completely dominated an entire region throughout Season Two.
