Fnatic ONIC stopped EVOS Glory's journey in the upper bracket and dropped them down into the lower bracket in MPL Indonesia Season 13.
Fnatic ONIC stopped EVOS Glory's rise in the upper bracket with a statement-worthy 3-0 victory. This victory means FNATIC Onic will be the first Grand Finalist of MPL Indonesia Season 13 and the first team from MPL Indonesia to qualify for The Mid Season Cup 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
From the get-go, Fnatic ONIC was going full force in winning the series as they pulled out the secret Julian pick for Kairi. This shocks everybody as this is the first time the hero has been picked for MPL Indonesia Season 13.
When Fnatic ONIC wanted to win, they showed it in a big way. No moment in the first game showed a chance for EVOS Glory to win. The defending champion dismantled EVOS Glory's manoeuvre in all of the tries. They even gave the white tiger's signature pick, Alpha, and just dismantled them.
The first loss seems like a reality check for the white tigers as they can't muster any answer to Fnatic ONIC's strategy in the second game, as the yellow hedgehog used a comfort pick consisting of Roger and Baxia against them. The same outcome happened in game three, as loss of focus was apparent in EVOS Glory's play. Outclassed, outgunned and outmanoeuvred, The young tigers must swallow a tough 3-0 defeat in the MPL ID S13 playoff.
EVOS Glory, despite the loss, still had a chance to reach the grand finals from the lower bracket. They only have one obstacle to conquer, but a big one nonetheless. They must win against Geek Fam ID in the lower bracket finals to reach the coveted second spot in MSC 2024.
Can EVOS Glory get the ticket to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia? It will be answered in the Lower Bracket Finals as Geek Fam faces EVOS Glory to secure a spot in the Grand Finals.
