Orange Esports is a name our older readers will remember as they were one of the leading esports organizations in the SEA region. Their Dota 2 squad was by far their biggest, boasting names such as Mushi and Ohaiyo and are best remembered for their third-placed TI3 run in 2013 that saw SEA achieve their highest ever placing at a TI event till date.
Founded in 2011, the organization was always backed by one of Malaysia’s largest gaming/internet cafe chains, Orange Internet Cafe. The organization was a big name in Dota 2 with its players becoming some of the first superstars from the region but eventually disbanded in 2014. Since then Orange has been active in a more localized way and have focused on building a community and increasing awareness about esports in Malaysia.
Over the last few months, the organization was spotted picking up new rosters and players and have officially announced that they now have 6 rosters under them. They will also be partnering with The Gaming Company aka TGC, a marketing agency as part of a strategic merger. Orange Esports will field teams under the following banners:
