Background to the EVOS vs Alter Ego Battle

At the height of the fiery esports battle, we witnessed a controversial incident that occurred on April 21 2022, in the fifth match between EVOS Glory and Alter Ego on the first day of the MPL Indonesia Season 9 playoffs.

At that time, Phoveus, the hero from Alter Ego, experienced a lag for several seconds when attacking the EVOS Legends base turret. This incident triggered a request for a break from Alter Ego at the 20:48 minute, but the referee did not grant it because there was a team fight in progress, in accordance with MPL Indonesia rules which prohibit breaks in the middle of a team fight until the end of the season.

We note several important points from the incident:

Pause Request:

  • Alter Ego asked for a break at the 20:48 mark but did not raise his hand.
  • The referee refused the request for a break due to an ongoing team fight.

Referee Decision:

  • After ensuring that Pai from Alter Ego no longer experienced lag, the match continued and ended at the 30:06 mark.
  • The referee gets approval from both teams to continue play.

Technical Results and Final Decision:

  • Technical evaluation concluded that there were no lags or bugs during the game.
  • MPL ID, as the organizer, decided that the match results remained valid and asked for understanding regarding the situation that occurred.

Significant changes also occurred at EVOS Glory, previously known as EVOS Legends, ahead of MPL Indonesia Season 13.

The new roster includes Veldora, VAN, Warlord, Branz, Super Red, and VaanStrong, with a new coach, Theo, from the Philippines. Oner, part of EVOS management, revealed the reasons for changing the name from EVOS Legends to EVOS Glory.

EVOS Glory Strategic Mistakes

As esports fans, we may have witnessed the change in EVOS Glory's strategy that was recently introduced. This strategy emphasizes a more objective game, similar to the playing style we often see from Filipino teams.

The following are some key points that show where EVOS Glory may have made strategic mistakes:

Lack of Initial Aggressiveness:

In the first match against RRQ Sena, EVOS Glory let RRQ Sena get the first turtle. This may be due to a lack of aggressiveness or a disadvantageous position.

Weak Team Coordination:

In the second game, it was clear that EVOS Glory failed to communicate or coordinate effectively. This allows RRQ Sena's Dyrenn to survive with low HP after advancing too far.

Team Cohesion Has Not Been Tested:

EVOS Glory's new roster has never played in any official tournament, so no one knows how they will work together in real matches.

The new strategy, which prioritizes objective play and late-game planning, abandoning the exciting free-play style that we usually see in Indonesia, has drawn criticism and criticism from fans and the esports community.

They considered this change as a form of disrespect for the team's past achievements. However, EVOS Glory remains optimistic and focused on improving their performance.
