Failed To Win Gold At The 2021 SEA Games, The Indonesian MLBB National Team Must Bring Home Silver Again

JAKARTA - Like repeating history, Indonesia was reunited with the Philippines in the final round of the Final Mobile Legends: Bang Bang at the 2021 SEA Games, Hanoi, Vietnam.

Previously, the two countries had faced off several times in international MLBB tournaments. The last meeting was at the 2019 SEA Games.

At the 2019 SEA Games, the Philippines managed to come out as champion. Meanwhile, Indonesia was only able to become the runner-up.

This time, at the 2021 SEA Games, Indonesia once again had to submit to its defeat by the Philippines. The Philippines managed to win gold like the previous year.

In the MLBB Grand Finals, they used the BO5 (best-of-five) system. This means that whoever gets 3 wins first wins.

Unfortunately, Indonesia failed to get 3 winning scores. This made the Philippines as champions with a final score of 3-1.

In the first game, the Philippines managed to beat Indonesia in 29 minutes with 17 kills. Meanwhile, Indonesia only managed to maintain 8 kills.

Indonesia fought back in the second game, they finally got Savage with 18 kills in 18 minutes 29 seconds. So far, the score is 1-1 between the two Grand Finalists.

However, the success of the athletes under the tutelage of James was unable to withstand the resistance of the Filipino team in the third and fourth games.

The Philippines won again in the last two games. Even though in the third game, Indonesia almost succeeded in tearing down the Philippines tower, but unfortunately it turned out that the attack from the Philippines succeeded in destroying the last tower in Indonesia.

In the third game, Indonesia was defeated in 24 minutes 28 seconds. The Philippines got 24 kills this time. The score changed to 2-1 for the Philippines.

In a short time, which only took 10 minutes, the Philippines managed to destroy Indonesia's last tower in the fourth game.

from this result, the Philippines managed to reclaim gold at the 2021 SEA Games. And Indonesia came out as runner-up again.
