BTR Nnael's Profile and Career Journey
Now let's move on to BTR Nnael's profile. Here, VCGamers has summarized his complete career journey leading up to his first MPL ID trophy in Season 17:
Debut at ONIC Prodigy

Before finally lifting the most prestigious trophy on the scene MLBB homeland, BTR Nnael's professional journey initially began through the management training of the "king of the sky" team.
Yep, debuting as a member of the ONIC Prodigy roster in 2022, the jungler was able to prove to the world that he was worthy of moving up from the development league and playing in the premier league.
It was there that his name began to be widely known among pro-scene fans. MLBB. But uniquely, ONIC management actually let go of its developed talent: loaning it to GEEK.
MPL Debut at GEEK

He didn't waste the golden opportunity to compete under the GEEK banner in MPL ID Season 12. His performance that season captured the attention of many MPL viewers.
Thanks to his aggressive play and good rotation skills, in his debut season in MPL he managed to bring GEEK to perch as runner-up and entitled to a ticket to M5!
Unfortunately, at that global competition, GEEK only managed to finish in the top five. As a result, their contract was not renewed, and they had to return to ONIC.
Short loan to AE

Whether due to managerial errors or other reasons, Nnael was sidelined for a season. It wasn't until mid-2024 that AE loaned him from ONIC to compete in MPL ID Season 14.
His performance there was inconsistent, and he failed to lead Alter Ego to any titles. Consequently, when his contract expired, he wasn't renewed and returned to ONIC.
Playing at ONIC

In MPL ID S15, he briefly joined the ONIC team's bench. With a formation that still comfortably used Kairi as the jungler, he was instead deployed as an offlaner!
This also takes into account Lutpiii, who had been suspended for four games at the time. It's no surprise that with that forced formation, ONIC lost three strikes.
But ONIC wouldn't be ONIC if they couldn't make a comeback and win their sixth season title. This proved a turning point for Nnael.
Competing in BTR

For various reasons, ONIC management is once again planning to release Nnael. This time, they're going all out, not just loaning him out, but selling him.
That's where Bigetron by Vitality (BTR) saw Nnael's potential. Management signed him permanently ahead of MPL ID Season 16.
With the Red Robot team, he became one of the key players who helped Bigetron appear competitive in MPL Indonesia: perched in the top four positions that season.
And it wasn't until Season 17 that Nnael managed to maximize his performance. In the final match between BTR and ONIC (his former team), he gave it his all!
As if to prove his decision to sell was a huge mistake, Nnael was able to play a key role in several crucial moments. As a result, BTR won 4-1 over ONIC!
Congratulations to Nnael and the rest of BTR for their victory in MPL ID Season 17! Good luck representing Indonesia at MSC 2026, and we wish you the best of luck!
