Muhammad Irfan, better known by the nickname Kluq, started his career at PUBG Mobile in 2020. He was first attracted to this battle royale game because of its competitive appeal and growing community. Playing from home with friends, Kluq initially had no ambition to become a pro player, but everything changed when he started regularly participating in community tournaments.

Even though initially he only played using a device with low specifications, Kluq showed sharp game sense and intelligence in reading zones and rotations. From the start, he preferred the role of support and IGL (In Game Leader) because he felt comfortable managing the team's strategy.

History of the teams he has played for

1. ZeroX Community (2020 - 2021)

His first community team, where Kluq honed the basics of competitive tournaments and team communication.

2. MYNova Esport (2021 - 2022)

The semi-pro team that brought him to appear in various PMCO tournaments and major scrims in Malaysia.

3. CelcomDigiAlliance (2023 - present)

Kluq joined CDAL ahead of PMNC 2023. He is believed to be the main IGL because of his ability to read zones and organize team strategy.

Personal Story: A Simple and Consistent Leader

Different from many players who are known for their mechanical skills, Kluq actually steals attention through his brain. He is a typical player who is calm, doesn't panic easily, and focuses on the team's objectives. As an IGL, he is known for his precise rotations and neat zone strategy.

Outside of gaming, Kluq is a student majoring in information technology. He often divides his time between studying and training with the team. Even so, he still appeared consistent and was able to maintain discipline in playing.

His family has been fully supportive since he joined CDAL professionally. His father even accompanied him directly when Kluq played in his first offline tournament, and since then, support from his family has been a big motivation for him.

Playing Styles and Roles in Teams

Kluq is known as an IGL who likes to play patiently but precisely. He is not careless when rushing and prefers to take advantage of momentum. He is also very communicative and can read end zone situations well. Even though he wasn't the top fragger, his contribution in the areas of calls, utility usage and zone control was crucial in determining the team's victory.

The Future of Kluq in Esports

With the experience of two consecutive seasons at PMNC and appearing on the SEA stage, Kluq is an important asset for CDAL. Many fans hope that he can take the team to PMPL or even PMGC one day. He also began to attract the attention of regional teams who wanted a stable and mature IGL figure.
