India Takes the Torch as the Next APAC Predator League Host

 

The stage was set, the competition fierce, and the battles legendary. After taking on the top teams from 14 regions, Team Alter Ego (VALORANT) and Myth Avenue Gaming (Dota 2) emerged as the champions of the Asia Pacific Predator League 2025. Both teams claimed the coveted Predator Shield in the sixth edition of the event, and each walked away with a substantial USD 65,000 in prize money.

As the curtains closed on this year’s epic showdown in Kuala Lumpur, Acer announced that the next edition of the Predator League will be hosted by the Acer India office, signalling its continued commitment to nurturing the esports and PC gaming ecosystem. Acer India office’s President and Managing Director, Harish Kohli, officially received the Predator League pennant from Acer Malaysia office’s Managing Director, Kon Tek Yoong, in a ceremonial handover.

 

Heightening the atmosphere and giving the crowd a treat, Team ZOL Esports, the first runner-up for VALORANT, mounted a dramatic comeback with six consecutive wins, to level the score at 11:11 from 5:11 after a critical mid-game reset. However, Alter Ego collected themselves and demonstrated unyielding teamwork to shut down the opposing team’s momentum and seal their victory.

 

The home crowd gave Myth Avenue Gaming a rapturous cheer as they overcame Team Helios in an emphatic manner with a 2-0 victory in the Dota 2 Grand Finals to lift the Predator Shield in front of their adoring fans.

tournament. The event bridged the gap between gamers and non-gamers with a spectrum of
activities, from competitive gaming to engaging activities that highlighted energy, teamwork, and
community.

 

Acer introduced new elements in this year’s Predator League, including debuting two exclusive
champion avatars, Nero and Yuffy, alongside their animated video, and the Predator "It Lies
Within" theme song in local languages. The community was treated to performances by Sandara
Park and Minzy of the K-pop group 2NE1, as well as Malaysian stars Aina Abdul and Hael
Husaini, and G22 from the Philippines. Another highlight, the Coswalk Competition, showcased
Malaysia’s top cosplay talent, with standout costumes and character portrayals of Valkia the
Bloody from Warhammer: Age of Sigmar by Vinca Kazuki, Thanatos from Persona 3 by Mak,
and S.I.C. Amazon Alpha by Saiful SS Prop earning the top prizes from a RM 25,000 pool.

 

Acer continues to push the boundaries of gaming excellence across the Asia Pacific region
through grassroots competitions and hosting premier events like the Predator League. This year’s
tournament stood as a testament to the passion, skill, and creativity that fuels the gaming and
esports communities.
