Contestants battle it out by showing off their Intimidating Dota hero costumes which showed a great deal of effort was put on them. The cosplayer contenders didn’t need a be event ticket holders to enter the competition.
Top 10 cosplayers were picked and judged on their best imitation of their hero, but most importantly on their attire’s attention to detail. It all ended up with the Night Stalker receiving the best wear amongst all the other cosplayers and winning the grand prize of 10,000RM.

Starting off the final day of The KL Major matches is the battle between Evil Geniuses and Virtus Pro who was knocked down to the lower bracket by finalists, Team Secret.
