Before the existence of Mobile Legends began, the popularity of MOBA in Southeast Asia was not what it is now. Although, MOBAs in Southeast Asia are starting to experience an increase since people are fond of League of Legends and DOTA 2. Therefore, let’s look at the following discussion about former DOTA 2 players who moved to Mobile Legends!
However, it must be admitted, that MOBA fans on European servers were far superior to Asian servers at that time. Plus, playing MOBA is also not easy.
Starting from the breadth of things that need to be learned in the game, to the internet connection aspect and the specifications of the PC you have. After Mobile Legends began to appear in Indonesia in particular, this MOBA game quickly attracted many fans.
The reason is, Mobile Legends itself provides MOBA games that are much more accessible to various groups. Naturally, of course, if it turns out that many DOTA 2 players have moved and have a great reputation in Mobile Legends, not only in Indonesia.
R7
This Indonesian MLBB pro player whose real name is Rivaldi Fatah, initially strengthened the DOTA 2 division for the RRQ team. However, after RRQ released all of its DOTA 2 roster, R7 chose to join the Mobile Legends roster from RRQ.
R7’s career in the Indonesian MLBB pro scene itself is quite fantastic. R7 itself until now is predicted to be a pro player with the best sidelaner role in Indonesia.
In addition, R7 together with RRQ Hoshi also won the MPL ID Season 6 Champion last year.
Acil
Who would have thought, that Acil used to be a support player in the RRQ DOTA 2 division roster. However, similar to the steps taken by R7, the same momentum was also felt by Acil. In other words, the main factor between R7 and Acil choosing to move to Mobile Legends is arguably the same.
Even so, in fact Acil’s career in the pro scene of MLBB Indonesia is quite different from R7. If R7 chooses to strengthen RRQ by becoming a part of his roster, Acil actually takes on the responsibility of being a coach for RRQ.
This is because Acil had previously been a coach for RRQ and then moved to another MPL team before finally rejoining RRQ.
Donkey
The next player is Yurino “Donkey”. In fact, the best MLBB tank pro player for Evos eSports is also a former DOTA 2 player. In fact, Ko Yur did not hesitate to explain, he believes that almost all DOTA 2 players who moved to MLBB were due to their failure in DOTA 2 itself.
An example is Ko Yur himself. He once pursued a career as a pro player in DOTA 2. However, he felt that he could only reach the semi-pro stage which in the end decided to move to MLBB.
Even so, Ko Yur actually has an extraordinary career and reputation in the MLBB pro scene. Not only being one of the best tanks of his time, Ko Yur also successfully won the M1 MLBB World Championship with EVOS.
Facehugger
Of the three names above, there is also the name Facehugger. Usep “Facehugger” Setiawan has a long track record in the realm of eSports. Starting as a DOTA 2 player for EVOS, he has also moved to Singapore to wear the Resurgence uniform.
After DOTA 2, Facehugger plunged into the realm of Mobile Legends. Initially, Facehugger was a coach and analyst for the Aura Fire team at MDL ID. It didn’t stop there, Facehugger also went directly into the AURA roster at MDL until in the end, he strengthened the AURA roster at MPL ID Season 7 yesterday.
Unfortunately, considering that AURA has not yet risen from adversity, it is also part of the long story of Facehugger’s journey in the realm of eSports to date.
That’s the discussion about former DOTA 2 players who moved to Mobile Legends. Keep practicing, play wisely and don’t become a toxic player!
