SINGAPORE – Mandopop megastar JJ Lin is popular for his hit ballads, but that is not his only passion. The Singapore singer and avid gamer is also one of the owners of an esports organisation.
Last Friday, he deepened his esports foray and made a splash in the local gaming scene by launching an all-Singaporean esports team.
The team, set up to compete in the first-person shooter (FPS) game Valorant, is part of Team Still Moving Under Gunfire (SMG), an esports organisation formed in 2017 by Lin and esports player turned coach Kenchi Yap.
“Team SMG has teams in Shanghai, Malaysia and finally, Singapore,” says Lin, who is a member of the Singapore Esports Association.
In February, he acquired Malaysian Mobile Legends team Makan Cendol to add to his squad in Shanghai, which competes in the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, a popular online multiplayer battle royale shooter game said to have sold more than 70 million copies.
On his first all-Singaporean e-sports team, Lin says: “This is a milestone in my esports journey, one that is very close to my heart.”
