MPGL is back with EVOS and BOOM ID!

The MPGL Asian Championship gathered some of the region’s best Dota 2 teams in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, India, Australia, Cambodia, Singapore, Myanmar, and Laos to hone the next generation of Dota 2 superstars.

With only three Southeast Asian teams reigning supreme due to the Dota Pro Circuit, the intensity of Southeast Asian Dota significantly leveled down. The return of one of Southeast Asia’s oldest and most storied leagues aim to redefine the region’s competence in Dota 2, starting with Indonesia.

Indonesia’s Pride

Compared to some of Southeast Asia’s established esports organizations, BOOM ID is one of the youngest brands to join Dota 2’s competitive landscape. Despite being founded only in January 2017, the meteoric Indonesia-based squad was quick to squeeze themselves in discussions regarding Indonesia’s best Dota 2 teams after successfully winning a multitude of nationwide competitions including two iterations of the Indonesia Games Championship.

BOOM ID qualified for the regular season of the MPGL Asian Championships when none of their seven opponents at the Indonesia Pride Gaming League, the country’s national Dota 2 league, failed to disprove that they are indeed the finest Dota 2 team in Indonesia. Opening their campaign with an undefeated group stage, BOOM ID later on claimed the IPGL championship title after exacting revenge on their winner’s final loss against EVOS.

Young and Hungry

In the entirety of the Southeast Asian region, BOOM ID’s mark of greatness can be found in the Dota 2 World Leaderboards. Fervian and Fbz, the Indonesian team’s compelling one-two punch, consistently secure one of the top 10 spots for the region’s Solo MMR leaderboard. Fervian currently sits at top two while Fbz takes the top four—objectively making them the best carries in the MPGL Asian Championship.

Among the contenders of the MPGL Asian Championship regular season, BOOM ID possesses one of the most impressive performance in their respective national league. Following that pattern, as well as their commendable first week performance, BOOM ID has a solid chance of securing one of the three MPGL Asian Championship grand final slots.

For The Country

Formerly known as Zero Latitude, EVOS was founded in August 2016 to bring evolution to the esports industry of Indonesia. The gaming organization is driven by an ultimate goal of giving their country pride in global esports tournaments including, but is not limited to, Dota 2.

EVOS’ representatives in other esports titles are gaining a fair amount of recognition and success, but it’s hardly the same for their Dota 2 squad. Stuck in the ever-competitive region of Southeast Asia, EVOS constantly needs to work hard in order to represent Indonesia in international tournaments.

After their lackluster performance in the World Electronic Sports Games 2017, the next thing EVOS’ Dota 2 squad has ever come close to giving pride to their country in an esports tournament is when they qualified for the MPGL Asian Championship, despite their unfortunate loss against BOOM ID in the grand finals of the IPGL.

The Path to Redemption

One week after the commencement of the MPGL Asian Championship regular season, the Aville-led team made clear that they are aware of their current situation and used their opening game as a testament to what they can do.

The commanding 2-0 win against Australia’s representative, WATER, was clearly insufficient to unearth themselves into the pit that they threw themselves into, but the glory to redemption has to start somewhere.

With the same amount of hard work, a pinch of fortune, and a whole load of consistency, EVOS can finally give pride to Indonesia as a grand finalist of the MPGL Asian Championship.
