EVOS’ Gold Laner for MPL ID Season 16 might be filled by a very familiar name. Rumors surrounding Branz's return to EVOS' main roster have spread widely, especially after various leaks and casual discussions among former pro players and figures close to the team. Branz’s absence from ranked activity in recent weeks has only fueled further speculation.

Branz had been one of Indonesia’s top Gold Laners and played a key role during EVOS Legends’ prime era. His mechanical skills, teamfight awareness, and late-game composure made him a reliable anchor in past seasons. Recently, EVOS have seemingly struggled to find a consistent Gold Laner in both scrims and content appearances, making Branz a logical solution.

This development also came at a time when many professional players have either taken a break or switched teams. With so much movement in the scene, Branz’s return could be part of EVOS' bigger plan to rebuild with a core of experienced names.

If Branz truly returned, it might represent a strategy shift by EVOS—one that leans into proven chemistry and veteran trust as they look to reclaim championship form.

EVOS MPL ID S16 Gold Laner Could Truly Be Branz

The rumor gained more weight when Luminaire openly said during a livestream: “What does it mean that EVOS India disbanded? All their players got poached by the real EVOS. Vyn got bought. Branz already got added to the roster. So what now? What else is left to play?” His statement quickly sparked conversations across social media.

Mas Ade, who joined the livestream, reacted with surprise and replied jokingly: “Who said Branz entered the roster? Oh, leaks, leaks—nice one, San.” The tone hinted that Luminaire’s words might not just be a joke, but an accidental confirmation.

Luminaire then doubled down: “I think Branz is in. He hasn’t played ranked anymore. At this point, it doesn’t even matter if the team info gets leaked.” This further strengthened the public belief that Branz was indeed being prepared for a return to EVOS Glory.

If Branz truly returned as EVOS’ Gold Laner, it would prove that his skills are still very much valued. It would also reveal a clearer direction from EVOS—one that shows their faith in veterans to stabilize the team in one of the most competitive MPL seasons to date.
