Breaking the 3 Season Curse, Evos Becomes MPL ID Season 4 Champion
GAMEFINITY.ID, Jakarta – The long journey of the most prestigious competitive event for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), namely MPL Indonesia Season 4 has ended with the Grand roundFinal (26-27 October 2021), after previously running the Regular Season round for 8 weeks (23 August – 13 October 2021). A total of 6 Mobile Legends teams that managed to achieve the highest ranking in the final standings of the Regular Season competed for strategy and agility on the main stage which took place at the Tennis Indoor Stadium Bung Karno.
The best MPL teams (EVOS Esports, RRQ, Alter Ego, AURA, ONIC, and Bigetron) that competed in the Grand Final of MPL ID Season 4 competed for a total prize of more than US$300,000, the title of the best Mobile Legends team in Indonesia, and 2 tickets to compete again in the MLBB world championship, titled M1 World Championship 2021. However, the step towards becoming a champion is not easy because each team has to show tension and ambition to become the best of the best.
The heat of the battle in the MPL ID S4 Playoffs can already be described from the division of the match bracket. ONIC met Aura while Alter Ego faced Bigetron. Meanwhile, the leaders of the standings, EVOS and RRQ, await the winners of each previous match.
The enthusiasm of the audience who packed the Tennis Indoor Senayan welcomed the first battle between the MPL ID Season 3 champion and the 2021 MSC champion, ONIC Esports, against Aura. ONIC, which was indeed the favorite, proved successful in sending Aura off the battle map. Udil et al. succeeded in dispelling Aura’s hopes with a 2-0 win without reply.
The next battle featured another favorite team, namely Alter Ego who faced Bigetron Esports. Maungzy et al. managed to wrap up the first win even though it was not easy. The 2-1 score closed the match between the two and forced Hexaz0r and his friends from Bigetron to be the second team to go home on the first day.
The fun of MPL ID Season 4 hasn’t stopped yet. Now it’s the turn of the King, RRQ, who will host Alter Ego after successfully bending Bigetron. Alter Ego only needed 11 minutes and ensured victory through a Maniac combo from Rmitchi and Celiboy. Not standing still, RRQ avenged its defeat with a split push strategy from R7’s Masha.
The victory of the MPL ID Season 2 champion was even more convincing after it was closed with a wipe-out and Gusion’s contribution from Xin as the MVP. Before the first day ended, ONIC and Alter Ego also faced off to determine the last team that had to fall on the first day. It turns out that Alter Ego is still too superior for ONIC. This defeat is also a bad memory for ONIC Esports after becoming an undefeated giant in the previous season, when they won MSC 2021 and MPL ID S3.
El Classico between EVOS and RRQ was present as an appetizer for the MPL ID Season 4 Playoffs on the second day. Mobile Legends lovers flocked to the Tennis Indoor Senayan area which could not accommodate the crowd’s enthusiasm.
The first event started with EVOS which brought the easy win first. RRQ is made dizzy by the split push shown by EVOS. Of course, RRQ doesn’t want to lose its prestige as MPL ID Season 2 champion and hopes for a third match. However, EVOS once again showed disciplined teamwork both in attack and defense. At its peak, Lord’s aggression and RRQ’s wipe-out ensured EVOS Esports’ third grand final ticket in the history of MPL Indonesia (Season 1, 2 and 4).
Alter Ego also had to face RRQ again in the Lower Bracket Final. But somehow, Alter Ego failed to show the heat of the match like their struggle on the first day. RRQ advanced to the Grand Final after beating Alter Ego 2-0. The meeting between EVOS and RRQ happened again as the final match. Uniquely, the final match between EVOS vs. RRQ seems to repeat the history of MPL ID Masters which was held at the JX International Convention Center, Surabaya, 17-18 November 2021.
The first game, RRQ gave a surprise by using a different strategy, which proved to be effective in bringing them to secure the first game. Score 1-0 to RRQ. In the second game, EVOS seemed to have lost the confidence they previously showed against RRQ in the Upper Bracket Final. They seemed to be giddy from the start to the middle of the game. But fortunately, for Oura and his friends, they were able to turn things around and win the second game. The score was changed to 1-1.
The match between RRQ and EVOS this time was really thrilling and very different from the MPL ID S2 Grand Final. Because, at that time, RRQ was indeed at the peak of its glory and dominated the Playoffs. Almost all MLBB fans, at that time, favored RRQ and they proved to be an easy win over Rekt and his friends. This time, on paper, EVOS should win if you look at their performance in the Regular Season.
However, EVOS seems to get a curse on MPL. Even though it has always been filled with star players, EVOS 2x failed in the final round (Season 1 and 2) and fell on the first day of the Season 3 Playoffs.
The third game begins. Rekt surprises by using Zhask as well as Wann’s selection of Chang’e. In this third game, EVOS again appeared more confident and aggressive from the beginning of the game. As a result, EVOS secured points from the third game. 2-1 score for EVOS Esports. The fourth game must be played. EVOS was under pressure at the beginning of the game. However, since 10 minutes, thanks to the aggressive play of Oura, Donkey and Rekt, EVOS managed to lead the net worth by a difference of 13K Gold.
Lemon and his friends could no longer hold back the final pressure that EVOS gave. EVOS finally managed to secure the MPL ID trophy after failing 3 Seasons. They also seem to emphasize that MPL ID’s curse on EVOS is just a hoax.
Oura, the only player who has always been with EVOS since MPL Indonesia S1, finally managed to bring home this most prestigious trophy.
“Since Season 1 has been fighting hard for MPL champions, the feeling of pleasure from winning MPL is really extraordinary.” said the player whose real name is Eko Julianto.
In addition to the excitement and excitement that occurred while at the event location, the audience at home was no less excited, as evidenced by the achievement of 250 thousand viewers on live streaming on the Facebook platform. This achievement has certainly broken a new record after previously breaking 200 thousand in the regular season.
EVOS and RRQ will also represent Indonesia at the 2021 M1 World Championship which brings together the best 16 Mobile Legends teams from 14 countries. This tournament is the first time that MLBB is competitive at the world level. M1 will present a total prize pool of over US$250,000 and will be held on 15-17 November 2021 at Axiata Arena, Malaysia.
