Teaming up with game distributing company Sendi Mutiara Multimedia (SMM), the organisers' surprising announcement of IPDC on social networking site Facebook has taken the nation by storm.
Boasting a prize pool of nearly 5,000 Euros, IPDC administrators have pledged to "produce [a] world-class DotA experience in the eyes of the world" by inviting international teams to join the fray.
Held from 25 to 27 March in Malaysia's so-called City of Digital Lights, IPDC is yet another golden opportunity for both local and international DotA enthusiasts to enjoy a spectacular and rather unexpected battle royale of this scale and magnitude.
