EVOS Icon has long faced struggles in the MDL Indonesia scene. While the team has already lifted an MDL trophy in the past, recent seasons have not been kind to them. They have failed to find consistency and, notably, missed the playoffs last season—an outcome that has not been expected from an organization as prestigious as EVOS.

However, Aleva, Nazara, and the rest of the squad have refused to give up. With a revamped roster and the presence of a seasoned coach, they have reignited their fire. Under the guidance of former MPL veteran SamohT, EVOS Icon has not looked entirely dominant—but they have shown flashes of promise.

While inconsistency has remained an issue, the team's steady development and growing synergy have become noticeable. Over time, they have found better coordination, and their players’ hero pools have surprised both analysts and fans alike.

Their efforts have paid off—EVOS Icon has just secured a playoff slot in MDL ID Season 11 after defeating Bat Cave. It's a solid achievement, especially when compared to other big names like Bigetron Beta and RRQ Sena, both of whom have failed to reach the playoffs this season.

EVOS Icon Has Shown What EVOS MPL Couldn’t

EVOS Icon has provided a refreshing contrast to what fans have witnessed from the MPL EVOS squad in Season 15. While the MPL roster has been struggling to stay afloat and might miss the playoffs entirely, EVOS Icon has demonstrated creativity, adaptability, and a hunger to evolve.

It’s not just a matter of polar opposite results; EVOS Icon has also impressed in the way they approach the game. SamohT’s strategies, while perhaps unconventional, have offered something new—and fans have taken notice.

Thanks to the Global Ban format of MDL, the team has showcased one of the most diverse hero pools this season. Their captain, Aleva, has deserved the biggest credit for his leadership and flexibility across roles. But the supporting cast has also stepped up in a major way.

Newcomers Artzyskie and Joey have proven themselves to be reliable and impactful, while Rinazmi has anchored the team with his consistent laning. Nazara, once overlooked, has evolved into one of the most flexible junglers this season.

In their final match, he even used tank junglers like Fredrinn and Barats effectively—showing not only his range, but also composure in crucial moments. Nazara has also become the only player in MDL ID S11 to frequently play jungle Alice, a bold and rare pick in the current meta.

This kind of dynamism has propelled EVOS Icon into becoming one of the most exciting teams heading into the playoffs.

Coincidentally, this stands in stark contrast to EVOS MPL, who have been criticized for sticking to repetitive, predictable drafts. Perhaps now is the time for the main EVOS roster to take a page out of their academy team's playbook—because EVOS Icon has clearly shown that taking risks and embracing change have brought them back into contention.
