Karamunsing Complex is Immortals Cup venue sponsor

KOTA KINABALU: Momentum is building up to the Immortals Cup, Sabah’s first premium Dota 2 tournament organised by the state’s leading newspaper, Daily Express, with Karamunsing Complex coming on board as tournament venue sponsor.

The state’s oldest shopping centre, which is also a hub for IT related products, will host the tournament final on March 2-3 to be held at Karamunsing Exhibition Hall.

Equipped with large LED screens, sound and lighting systems, the 20,000 square-foot new hall, is an ideal location for the final given the huge crowd traffic at the shopping centre, particularly on weekends.

The tournament, which offers an attractive prize pool of RM22,000, expects to draw a large crowd during the two days who will want to watch the showdown of four teams in the seminal stage from which two will face-off in the final on March 3.
