So Near And Yet So Far - Selangor Red Giants’ Almost Perfect 2024

At the end of the day, it was a bridge too far. Selangor Red Giants, a Mobile Legends Bang Bang esports team that only came to the scene in 2023, was close to completing a perfect year - dubbed the “Golden Road” in the MLBB scene - by winning all the major tournaments in the MLBB esports calendar in the same year. After securing back-to-back victories in MPL Malaysia Season 13 and 14, as well as winning the inaugural MLBB Mid Season Cup in July, the stage is set for them to clinch the M6 World Championship, hosted right here in Malaysia. Unfortunately, that did not happen, with SRG finishing third in the championship. Selangor Red Giants’ co-founder Simon Lim joins the show to reflect on a topsy-turvy year, as well as share what it’s like to run and manage an esports team and its athletes.
