Hope Pupus, Indonesian Men's MLBB National Team Fails To Bring Home Medals
JAKARTA - In contrast to the women's team match in the Mobile Legends number: Bang Bang, the Indonesian men's national team failed to win a match in the 2023 Cambodian SEA Games Group Stage round.
Using the Best of One (BO1) system, the team filled by Albert "Alberttt" Neilsen, Jabran "Branz" Wiloko, Gilang "Sanz", Rizki "Saykots" Iskandar, and Rachmad "DreamS" Wahyudi were defeated by the lever of Cambodia's house.
At the beginning (early) of the game, Indonesia managed to dominate the game. But unfortunately, at the end (last) of the game, the Cambodian team managed to break through Indonesia's defense, and won a match in 30 minutes.
Then in the second match against Myanmar, by deploying the same team, Alberttt and his friends had to admit defeat. Myanmar managed to wipe out the Indonesian turet in just 17 minutes.
This two defeats is certainly not good news for Indonesia, considering that only the two best teams from each group can advance to the playoffs tomorrow.
Today's match can also be said to be a red report card for the Indonesian men's MLBB national team, considering that in the previous two SEA Games, Indonesia had always entered the Grand Final round. The worst scenario is that Indonesia must go home empty-handed.
The Indonesian National Team Scenario Enters The Playoffs Round
Currently, Indonesia is ranked fourth in group B with 0 points. Above it, there are Singapore (0 points), Cambodia (1 point), and Myanmar (2 points). The match tomorrow with Singapore is a decision for the Indonesian national team.
Even though it is very small, initially there was still a glimmer of hope for Indonesia to be able to advance to the next round. Here is the scenario:
If this scenario is met, then the points obtained by Indonesia, Singapore, and Cambodia will be the same, so they will compete again in additional matches (tiebreakers).
Hope The Indonesian National Team Brings Home The Pupus Medal
But unfortunately, in tonight's match, Singapore was defeated by Cambodia. Thus, Cambodia and Myanmar will certainly advance to the playoffs, even though Indonesia will win against Singapore tomorrow.
The following is the men's MLBB match schedule which will be held on Saturday, May 13:
