Features of Garena

Garena has been so successful that it attracted over 3.5 million gamers from 253 countries/regions, and the number is still rising. It is estimated that more than 5000 new gamers registered and 150,000 gamers from all over the world play on Garena everyday.

Because games hosted on Garena are so smooth and lag-free that players would feel as though they are playing on LAN connection, while in fact Garena is actually connected to the internet and connects user together through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The latency between players from the same region are excellent, this makes Garena the platform choice of most international E-sport events and tournaments, such as MYM Prime Defending, MYM Prime Nations, Asia Dota Championship (ADC), Europe North America Dota Championship (ENADC), WC3L, and many more.

GGTV is another prominent feature of Garena. It allows players to watch live E-sport matches, just like watching a live sport event on television, without the need of downloading replays from the internet. Players can get first hand information by watching the matches broadcasted live through GGTV.

Garena also has a good anti-cheat system and anti-hacking solution that provides user a hack-free environment to play their games. The system will automatically ban users attempting to use cheats such as map hack and etc. Players can expect a fair and secured game that most players want the game to be.
