The sixth edition of the Asia Pacific (APAC) Predator League by Acer officially opens today, presenting a grand regional esports tournament that has grown significantly since its inception in 2018. This is the first time that the APAC Predator League is hosted in Malaysia, with the Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia, Hannah Yeoh, gracing the opening ceremony.

The APAC Predator League 2025 marks a new era with the introduction of two dynamic champions (avatars), Nero and Yuffy. These characters, born from a regional design competition, embody the Predator brand’s pursuit of gaming excellence and tactical precision, adding a new layer of excitement to the tournament. Nero and Yuffy’s journey, from childhood friends to formidable contenders, highlights themes of rivalry, support, and inner strength, reflecting the Predator League’s position as a stage for high-stakes battles that test both skill and character.

To further enhance the event’s cultural engagement, the league unveils “It Lies Within”, a new theme song performed in local languages by renowned artists of each region. This reflects the league’s commitment to embracing local cultures and languages, fostering a deeper connection with the growing audience in the region. 

A total of 28 teams from 14 regions have converged in Kuala Lumpur to vie for a place in gaming history and triumph. Acer Pan Asia Pacific President, Andrew Hou, said, “Anchored on our flagship gaming brand, Predator, the APAC Predator League is more than just a tournament – it is a vibrant, community-driven platform that connects gamers of all levels while empowering every role in esports. With the introduction of new characters, an animated storyline, and fresh music, we envision this tournament to evolve into a dynamic and unifying gathering where gaming, technology, and entertainment come together.”

Acer Malaysia Managing Director, Kon Tek Yoong, added, “The Asia Pacific Predator League 2025 Grand Finals at MITEC will offer a festival-like experience beyond the typical esports tournament. The event seeks to bridge the gap between gamers and non-gamers by showcasing the vibrant spirit of competitive gaming. Visitors will enjoy an immersive experience that highlights the energy, teamwork, and community aspects of esports. Alongside top esports teams, Acer has arranged special guest appearances by international singers and Malaysia’s award-winning artists. The Predator League is a unique celebration of esports, inviting everyone to explore the depth and excitement of competitive gaming beyond online representations.”

Headlining the performances at this year’s APAC Predator League are Sandara Park, also known as Dara, and Minzy of the iconic K-pop group 2NE1. They are joined by Malaysian stars Aina Abdul and Hael Husaini, and G22 from the Philippines. The two-day event will also feature a Coswalk competition that highlights the creativity and passion of the gaming and pop culture communities. Visitors can engage in immersive on-site activities to claim rewards, transforming the APAC Predator League 2025 into an event that goes beyond an esports tournament.
