Albert’s transfer to EVOS was one of the most talked-about moves in the recent transfer window. Before it happened, few could have imagined Albert joining EVOS.

After EVOS’ inconsistent performance—failing to reach the playoffs twice in the last four seasons—the management made a bold move.

They secured major signings, bringing in Albert and Kyy directly from ONIC ID and Bigetron. These transfers were seen as hopeful moves, given both players’ impressive track records and star power.

Indeed, by the third week of MPL ID Season 15, EVOS showed strong form. With a record of four wins and one loss, they temporarily held second place in the standings.

The impact of Albert and Kyy has been significant, without diminishing the contributions of other players like Erlann, Natco, Regi, and even Swaylow, who was also acquired. However, the duo of Albert and Kyy has drawn particular attention.

Albert’s Transfer to EVOS Was a Gamble

Albert’s move to EVOS turned out to be a fascinating story. Initially, Alter Ego had approached him first, but the deal fell through. In the end, EVOS took a huge gamble on Albert.

Mas Ade revealed this openly—though using metaphorical language—making his point crystal clear.

He confirmed that EVOS conducted a blind buy on Albert, meaning they signed the player outright without a trial.

"Just so you know, EVOS really did a blind buy on Albert. If you knew the whole story, it’s kinda funny. But it’s true—seriously, guys, no ‘decant’ was involved," Mas Ade said during his stream.

"Albert was a blind buy, guys. They basically went off other people’s reviews—like, ‘Is Albert good or not?’ Kyy wasn’t a blind buy; he had a trial scrim. But Albert? Straight-up blind buy," he added.

The terms Mas Ade used were perfume analogies. Blind buy refers to purchasing something without trying it first, while decant means a sample bottle typically recommended before buying the full-sized perfume.
