We sat down with the defending champion of MPL Singapore to talk about the landscape of Singapore MLBB and their motivation for the M6 World Championship.
During the first day of the MPL Singapore Season 8 playoff, we sat down with four members of 
NIP Flash to discuss the league's landscape, their motivation to win it for a slot in the M6 World Championship, and who their top three players—besides themselves—are in the league.
Are there really no more opponents for you in MPL Singapore? Do you have any suggestions on how to make this more competitive?
Diablo: To be honest, I don't think any lineups are threatening. Before Flash was formed, players were all scattered around, so I would say it's a bit more challenging to remain champions. But right now, I would say this is just a stepping stone to get to international. So for me, if this was to be a league that's more competitive, I think the Singaporeans need to step up. Because no matter how many imports they bring in, it doesn't make a difference. The Singaporeans make up three, which means more than half of the roster. And if they are bad, no matter what they do, it doesn't matter. So yeah, the Singaporeans need to step up and show that they have what it takes also.
Zarate: I think Singaporeans also need to open their eyes. You see so many imports, you tell me, who's good, I also don't know. Every team now, this season, also takes imports. But the import play like Singaporeans.
What do you think about the prize pool of M6 being lower than the MSC? Is it demotivating you, or do you still want to win the slot to M6?
Lolsie: I think no matter what, definitely the prize pool comes into the picture, but then (our motivation), ultimately, is putting Singapore on the map. I believe that our performance in MSC placed Singapore on the map. People might say that we got the easy way out or what, but I think we still prove our point (by) being in the top 4. So, this MSC will further cement our place if we perform well. Likewise, for SRG, people have been (saying) like them winning MSC, but then they lost Snapdragon… People are really trying to say that PH is still the dominant era. So, definitely, the results are more important than the so-called prize pool. Although it's smaller than MSC, cementing the status of Singapore MLBB and MPL Flash is the main priority for us.
Zarate: Easy way out, eh? I think the last time someone got the easy way out right is JPL's M3 EVOS SG. That one is then called the easy way out. Then, finally, they play someone who has never played ML, right? BTK, and they lose. “Walao” eh, really? Another one that comes to our mind is 
RSG Singapore. They lose to Japan (on M2). They also lose to Ukraine (on M3). Lastly they lose to Argentina (on M4). These three teams (that) play football, not MLBB. That's why. So we easy way out. All the other Singaporean teams last time they have the easy way out. Still lose.
Name three players from MPL SG that you want to keep an eye on?
Lolsie: I think the top two, of course, are the Stain brothers. Luxion Stain and Nick Stain. I think these two are the top-tier ones. I believe JPL can also agree with this. JPL and Vanix, respectively. And then the last one, let me think, the third one. Yoonski. I think he is top tier. Especially his Grock and Chou. So quite scary and formidable. So these are the three to look out for.
Adammir: My top one player to look out for is Jo. Maybe he changed his name now, but I don't know what's his current name. But I think Jo very talented as a mid. So if he continues training, I think he will surpass KurtTzy one day. Yeah, that's my top one pick.
Zarate: There's no choice, for the number one player. The number one player is not even playing. You all might think I will say Bearr, but it's not. But it's close. Not B, but C. Coconut. Coconut says with disrespect, want to show us everything. I don't know what he wants to show. He only shows me he's sitting on the bench. That's why, right, Evil is not utilizing his talents. He needs to bring his talents to another team next season to show us what he's truly made of. Yeah.
