JAKARTA - Given the many technical whale problems during the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) final match at SEA GAMES 31 between Indonesia and the Philippines last year, the Indonesian national team esports referee made sure that it would not happen again in Cambodia.

In last year's MLBB final, there were many technicalpauses. However, the captain of the Indonesian national team, R7 has confirmed the problem in one of its live broadcasts on Instagram.

R7 said that the technical whale that occurs because of ping, aka the internet connection there is quite high, is in the range of 30-40ms, while in Indonesia it usually only plays with 1ms, so they have to use VPN, which causes the game to be not optimal.

However, no violations were committed by the Philippine team, so the match went smoothly.

Although it is not a violation, the problem of pause seems to make players and spectators uncomfortable. For this reason, Stanley Tjia, as the referee for esports for the Indonesian national team and also technical delegates, said that he would not let that happen again.

"The national team agency will review all technical hand books which will be used as a reference for matches. We will ensure that the whale incident at the Vietnam SEA Games does not happen again," Stanley said, citing the PBESI Instagram.

Meanwhile, PBESI is currently in the process of national selection (selection) to find athletes who will represent Indonesia who will compete in the SEA Games 32 in Cambodia.

However, PBESI has revealed a complete list of the names of selected coaches who are trusted to guide the Indonesian Esports National Team for 7 match numbers at the 2023 SEA Games:
