SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 December 2025—Magic Chess: Go Go (MCGG) launched its fourth season, teaming up with THE KING OF FIGHTERS (KOF) for the game’s first collaboration. This milestone partnership brings the fighter universe to the chessboard with eight themed commander skins, two new synergies, and a KOF-inspired chessboard skin. In addition, players gain access to the Promo Diamonds event, new battle modes, and can fight their way to the top in the GO1 World Championship (GO1)—MCGG’s first international tournament. Developed by the international video game company, MOONTON Games, the new season demonstrates its commitment to creating engaging gaming and esports experiences worldwide.
Don your fighter gear in Season 4
MCGG kicks off its first-ever collaboration by joining forces with KOF—the legendary franchise that has inspired generations of gamers. The battlefield will be decked out in combat with eight all-new KOF-themed commander skins, featuring Aurora “Kula Diamond”, Chou “Iori Yagami”, Dyrroth “Chris”, Karina “Leona”, Guinevere “Athena Asamiya”, Gusion “K'”, Paquito “Terry Bogard”, and Valir “Kyo Kusanagi”. Be prepared to emerge a #FightersReborn as the collaboration unleashes two exclusive synergies, KOF and Mortal Rivals, alongside with a limited-time chessboard skin.
The collaboration also introduces the Destined Duel event, where players can earn up to 70 Leona Draw Tokens, KOF Deploy Effects, and the Johnson “Death Chariot” skin. Set in a retro arcade-inspired interface, Destined Duel immerses players in the classic fighting spirit of KOF. Players can also enjoy Promo Diamonds (in-game currency) to unlock generous discounts on in-game items. By participating in events, logging in, and more, players can collect commanders and chessboard skins to upgrade their battlefield experience.
Gao “Skyhook” Chong, MCGG Producer at MOONTON Games, said: “Working with KOF is a huge step for MCGG, and we’re especially excited since its our first collaboration. Bringing this iconic franchise into our universe allows us explore new ways to merge strategy and combat while offering players more depth and variety in how they approach the game. This is not just a crossover—it’s an expansion of our IP and a showcase of how our game can grow beyond auto chess while keeping strategic gameplay at its core. We’re excited to see how players from both worlds adapt, compete, and make the MCGG battlefield their own!”
Outfight, outsmart, dominate the chessboard
The new Commander Power Cards introduces a new layer of strategy to the battlefield. Each commander now wields unique powers, allowing players to experiment with devastating combinations. Players can select their own Commander’s Power Card for enhanced abilities or harness the strength of other Commanders for a unique advantage. Players can turn the tide of battle by picking the right cards at the right time—rewarding bold strategy and skill as they fight to dominate the chessboard.
Step into the new Arena Mode, where every player has unlimited time in the preparation round to build their ultimate lineup. Plan your strategy, position your commanders, and unleash deadly combinations to dominate the battlefield. The Arena Mode features an exclusive ranking system, where players’ ranks depend on the number of Arena Trophies. Win rounds, climb the leaderboard, and prove you have what it takes to be the top fighter!
As the rounds progress, Commanders level up automatically and players receive random Go Go Cards and powerful Equipment to strengthen their forces. They can also purchase game-changing items from the Arena Shop to earn an edge in fights. Before each duel, engage in the high-stakes Betting Mechanism—double your trophies for massive rewards, but beware as one wrong move could cost you heavily.

Fight to become the first MCGG world champion
MCGG Season 4 returns with the MCGG Rising Star (MRS), offering 14 direct slots to the upcoming GO1. The inaugural edition of MCGG’s most prestigious international tournament will take place alongside the M7 World Championship (M7) in Jakarta, Indonesia, in January 2026. As part of the M7 Carnival, MCGG will join Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) in turning Indonesia into a global sporting stage, uniting top teams, players, and fans from around the world in a celebration of esports.
With its democratic and accessible gameplay, MCGG makes it possible for any player to compete at the highest level. By empowering all players to rise as champions, MCGG brings its vision of inclusive esports onto the international stage. The title will make history at the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Bangkok, Thailand, marking the first time a mobile auto chess game will feature at the biennial regional sporting event. On 12 December, the MCGG demonstration match will open the Games with a #BattleofWits, where every player has the chance to test their strategies, outsmart their opponents, and prove that anyone can rise to become a champion.
Chong added: “We’re incredibly proud that MCGG has reached international sporting stages, standing alongside both esports and traditional sports. Tournaments like the GO1 World Championship and the SEA Games give us the chance to uncover hidden champions—players whose talent and strategy might otherwise go unseen. Our goal has always been to empower everyday players through the game, and we’re excited to see our vision come to life on these big stages.”

Engineering His Future: Vietnamese Scholar Vo Xuan Dat Makes His Mark at CUHK

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 August 2026 – At a time when Asian universities are competing globally for top talent, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is emerging as a destination of choice for high-achieving students across Southeast Asia. Among them is Vo Xuan Dat, a Vietnamese scholar now in his second year studying Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEEM). His journey reflects a broader shift toward a new generation of internationally minded engineers equipped with interdisciplinary skills to navigate increasingly complex, data-driven industries.

For Dat, CUHK is defined by the balance of academic rigour and inspiring community.

Strategic Selection: A Global Education Hub
For students planning to study abroad, choosing a university often means balancing academic reputation with a curriculum that aligns with current industry needs and global trends. Hong Kong’s blend of Eastern and Western cultures, strong academic institutions, and global career pathways makes it a natural draw. Through CUHK’s Scholarship Nomination Programme for Vietnamese students, Dat identified a programme that stood apart. “CUHK quickly became my top and only choice because of its strong reputation, supportive community, and the unique major I was passionate about,” he shared.

Bridging Technical Rigour and Holistic Education
Since joining the Faculty of Engineering, Dat’s academic experience reflects a broader transformation in engineering education. The SEEM curriculum continuously challenges students to think critically and solve complex operational problems. Its unique blend of engineering principles and economic theory equips students to tackle real-world business challenges. Dat has especially valued courses that combine quantitative problem-solving with practical business applications.

Beyond his major, CUHK’s University General Education courses has allowed Dat to explore interdisciplinary fields beyond engineering, reinforcing a holistic perspective that is increasingly valued by global employers.

A Vibrant Campus Environment and Cross-Cultural Connection
Outside the lecture hall, Dat has built a rich university life. He participates in cultural exchange workshops, joins language exchanges with international students, volunteers at campus events, and explores Hong Kong through hiking trips.

One memory stands out in particular: celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival on campus with close Vietnamese friends. “Sharing these special cultural moments made me feel truly at home and gave me more confidence adapting to university life,” he noted. For Dat, CUHK is defined by the balance of academic rigour and inspiring community.

CUHK’s Systems Engineering and Engineering Management Programme
The SEEM programme prepares graduates to manage complex, data-driven systems across modern industries by integrating engineering technology with management. Key highlights include:

  • Specialised Streams: Offers focused specialisation streams in Business Information Systems and Decision Analytics.
  • Analytical Toolkit: Trains students in advanced mathematical tools including optimisation, stochastic modelling, and computer simulation.
  • Technology at the Core: Infuses core engineering studies with cutting-edge expertise in machine learning, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence.
  • Global Career Paths: Equips competitive graduates for prominent positions in asset management, information technology consulting, and e-commerce supply chain management.

#legend Celebrates 10+ Years with Major Digital Milestone as Chairman Bruce Rockowitz Highlights Next Growth Chapter

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 August 2026 – Hong Kong luxury lifestyle publication #legend has marked a major audience milestone as it surpasses 500,000 monthly readers, underscoring its continued growth after more than a decade of editorial storytelling across culture, watches & jewellery, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. The milestone comes as the publication reflects on 10+ years in media, 100+ cover stories, and an expanding role in Hong Kong’s premium print and digital publishing landscape.

Founded in Hong Kong, #legend has developed into a recognized destination for readers seeking curated coverage at the intersection of luxury, culture, and contemporary lifestyle. The platform’s editorial scope spans fashion, watch and jewellery, beauty, music, art and design, dining, travel, tech, motors, and wellness, with a focus on the people and ideas shaping modern culture.

“The new readership milestone signals more than audience growth. It marks a broader phase of momentum for the brand as #legend increases editorial investment across its core Culture, Watch and Jewellery, Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle verticals while continuing to deepen relationships with luxury advertisers and collaborators,” said Bruce Rockowitz, Chairman of #legend. The print and digital publication currently works with 150+ brand partners, reflecting sustained market confidence in its editorial positioning and audience relevance.

Over the past 10+ years, #legend has published more than 100 cover stories featuring influential figures and culturally significant voices. That editorial body of work has helped define the brand’s identity in Hong Kong’s media space, where readers increasingly seek quality over volume and distinct perspective over generic content. As print and digital media becomes more fragmented, #legend’s growth points to continued demand for trusted storytelling with a clear cultural lens.

“Reaching more than 500,000 monthly readers on our digital platforms is an important moment for us, especially as we look back on over a decade of building #legend,” said Steve Rockowitz, CEO & Publisher of #legend. “It reflects the strength of our editorial direction, the loyalty of our audience, and the value of creating stories that connect culture with lifestyle in a way that feels relevant to Hong Kong and the region.”

As part of its next stage of development, #legend is placing greater emphasis on the categories that have shaped its readership base and brand identity. That includes continued focus on premium storytelling in culture, watch and jewellery, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, along with expanded collaboration across its creative and commercial network. The company said these priorities are intended to strengthen both audience engagement and long-term partnership value.

The milestone also highlights the publication’s role in a changing luxury media environment, where advertisers are increasingly selective about context, audience alignment, and editorial quality. By combining scale with a distinct local voice and premium subject matter, #legend continues to position itself as a strong print and digital platform for both readers and brand partners in Hong Kong.

Bruce Rockowitz and the business of media growth

Bruce Rockowitz has recently spoken about the practical role of innovation and technology in building stronger businesses across media and other consumer-facing sectors. In reported commentary, he has emphasized the value of tools that improve personalization, audience engagement, operational efficiency, and subscription retention, while maintaining that creativity, judgment, and human connection remain central to brand building. That perspective aligns with broader industry shifts as digital publishers look for sustainable ways to grow audience loyalty and commercial relevance.

With its latest audience milestone, #legend is entering its next chapter from a position of measurable traction. The company’s 10+ year track record, 500K+ monthly readership, 100+ cover stories, and 150+ brand partners together reflect a publication that is not only established, but still building.

Published

WUHU, CHINA –

The Chery Fulwin T7 (marketed overseas as the LEPAS L6) serves as a flagship model representing this transformation. Designed as a “born-global” vehicle, it adopts a reverse roll-out strategy—debuting in international markets prior to initiating domestic pre-sales.

Industry observers note that the significance of Chinese automakers participating in the formulation of global standards far outweighs mere export volume. Traditional automotive powerhouses are now poised to face increasingly formidable competitors.
