Marcus Tan

Marcus "Revenant” Tan is Head of Partnerships of EsportsFi. He has been a mainstay in the Singapore and Southeast Asia competitive eSports scene ever since he made a big splash in Warcraft III. At the age of 20, Marcus ‘Revenant’ Tan is one of Singapore’s most celebrated pro-gamers. He won the Singapore World Cyber Game (WCG) titles in 2009 and 2010, following that up with a host of international experiences at events like the International eSports Festival (IESF) and WCG Grand Finals. The description on his own page says, “Revenant has been revered for his mechanical precision and penchant flair for RTS games.” and to most, there’s likely no better way to describe him. By 2010, however, the Warcraft III scene had begun to wind down. Events were less common, and professional teams were frequently releasing their talent to pursue other titles. It was no different in Singapore, and the local team Revenant was in at the time had also announced its intentions to disband. This development left some of Singapore’s brightest eSports talent looking for their next step, but none more so than Revenant, whose career had just begun to take off after winning his second major WCG title. With the release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in 2010, the then 19-year old Revenant made the decision to switch to StarCraft II, and it paid instant dividends. Revenant’s talent in Warcraft III immediately translated to StarCraft II, and just a few months after the game’s release Rev would emerge victorious at both the Singapore StarCraft League and EPIC Gaming Convention. Singaporean pro-team Flash eSports made Revenant the first marquee signing of the team.
