'Fafau' tells Malaysian women's gamers to boost mental power

KUALA LUMPUR: To do better than bronze at the Sea Games two years ago, Malaysia's female Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) players must strengthen their minds.
This was stated by Nurul Effa Fauzana "Fafau" Fauzi. Nurul was part of the team that won Malaysia's first ever Sea Games medal in eSports (for women), in 2023 in Phnom Penh.
While the national squad for the Thailand Sea Games in December have not been finalised, Nurul and her team, NAVI MY, will compete in the World Cup x MLBB Women's Invitational and the World Esports Championships in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, later this year.
"The main area we need to improve on is our mental strength," said Nurul.
"As long as we possess mental resilience and a burning desire to win, we are capable of bettering our bronze-medal finish in Phnom Penh."
Nurul and her NAVI MY teammates have been competing in Season 3 of the MLBB Academy League (MAL) against male teams.
Although they lost all their five matches so far, Nurul said facing male opponents has been a valuable experience for them.
"We are using the MAL as a platform to mentally prepare ourselves for high-pressure tournaments.
"There is no women's league in Malaysia, so playing against the boys provides us with vital match experience.

Pandelela Rinong withdraws from world championships due to shoulder injury

A shoulder injury forced national diving star Datuk Pandelela Rinong and her partner Lee Yiat Qing to withdraw from the women's 10m synchronised event at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. The pair completed two of their five scheduled dives, scoring 87 points before pulling out during the preliminaries at the OCBC Aquatic Centre. Pandelela revealed the injury, sustained earlier this month, flared up during warm-ups. 'After two dives, we decided to withdraw for safety reasons. I want to thank everyone, especially those who came to support us,' she posted on Facebook. Earlier, Malaysian divers Nurqayyum Nazmi Mohamad Nazim and Yong Rui Jie missed the finals in the men's 3m synchronised springboard, finishing 21st out of 26 teams with 302.76 points. In swimming, Khiew Hoe Yean failed to progress in the men's 200m freestyle, placing 31st overall with a time of 1:48.10. SEA Games champion Phee Jinq En also withdrew from the women's 100m breaststroke due to a hip and groin issue. National swimming head coach Eric Anderson explained that Jinq En opted out to focus on the 50m breaststroke event on August 2. 'The team flew here straight from the World University Games in Berlin, which is hardly ideal,' he said. - Bernama
