Today was the first day of the official SMM and all Pinoy teams have easily advanced from the group-stage into the playoffs. Mineski, Dreamz, iZone, Pacific.Emax were too strong for their Malaysian opponents; which results in thus far no Pinoy team has lost a single match.
The qualified teams from Malaysia, have been filled up with the teams from overseas, where the SMM organizers have equally put internationally teams into separated groups. Malaysian favorited teams have not disappointed the audience, Orange, MUFC and Invasion have advance as well. For the Thai and Myanmar teams, iDeal, MiTH and NeoES|G7 it was an okay day, as all advanced and can show their skill tomorrow.
The SMM now moves into playoffs, which will be offering an Upper and Lower bracket, action is guaranteed, as the caster David Parker stated, ‘the competitive level of SMM is incredible’, these words should be marked as every year we, the audience, are being treated with an amazing show.
