The PMPL ID 2026 Spring Grand Finals began on Friday, March 27, 2026, with 16 top PUBG Mobile teams competing for the championship title and a ticket to the global competition, the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) 2026 Season 1, and the PMGO SEA 2026 Spring. Thousands of PUBG Mobile Esports fans packed the PMPL ID 2026 Spring Grand Finals venue at the Grand City Convention Hall in Surabaya, East Java, to witness the final battle for the PMPL ID season's championship crown.

One team that stole the spotlight at the PMPL ID 2026 Spring Grand Finals was Team Pangeran MCJOE from Manado. The team, featuring Alan Raynold "Satare" Kumaseh, Inzaghi "Daybot" Karundeng, Lino "Linixx" RIvael, and Valent "Herlings" Sinengkeian, managed to silence teams that had previously led in the League phase. However, Team Pangeran MCJOE wasn't particularly impressive in that phase. However, Satar and his teammates were undeterred, silencing the critics and proving that "Manado Pride" was ready to make history again in PMPL Indonesia.

MJ Satar Reveals Pangeran MCJOE's Motivation for Winning PMPL ID 2026 Spring: Team Solidarity and Proving It!

In fact, the Pangeran MCJOE team originated from the campus qualifiers (PMCC), where several of these players played for STIE Pioneer Manado (PION). They then qualified for PMPL ID 2026 Spring after being acquired by a local Manado team, Pangeran MCJOE. In terms of track records, all players are experienced, with Satar and Daybot being the only two players to have won two PMPL Indonesia titles in the history of the PUBG Mobile competitive scene.

Herlings and Linixx are two young stars who have developed dramatically. Hungry for a championship, Pangeran MCJOE's skillset in the Grand Final was extraordinary. It's no surprise that this team is ready to make history again in the Grand Finals to become the PMPL ID 2026 Spring champions. On the first day, they managed to silence top teams like Bigetron by Vitaity, VOIN Chaikery, Alter Ego Ares, RRQ Ryu, and Team Pandum. Silent yet deadly, Pangeran MCJOE proved his quality.

In a media interview with Dunia Games (DG), Satar explained that their league results didn't affect their competitive mentality in the Grand Finals. "I always tell them that even though we're doing poorly in the league, we're already in the Grand Finals, so everything is new. Even though we have a big headstart over VOIN, anything can happen. So I always emphasize to them that no matter how many points we get, or how far we are, we have to maintain a positive mindset," Satar told Dunia Games (DG).

"Because every game is important, we have to give it our all," he said. Satar added that, with players who have experience in the pro scene, Pangeran MCJOE remains a community-based team, fueling their competitive spirit even more. "Plus, we're also from the community, even though we have players who have been in the pro scene, we started the team from the community, so the spirit is even more intense," Satar added.

Regarding the "Nothing to Lose" competitive mentality, Satar acknowledged that his team plays without any pressure. They're also driven by solidarity, as some players have never won a championship, so they want to prove themselves. "In that regard, yes (there's nothing to lose). Another thing is, some players on this team have never won a trophy, right? So that's also a motivation, because they might not have been considered good in the past, so we just want to prove ourselves. Moreover, (yesterday) we were considered bad in the league, with a lot of talk that we're unworthy, undeserving, so we just want to prove ourselves," he concluded.

So far, Pangeran MCJOE has proven themselves worthy of being a championship contender. Will these Manadonese men be able to make history again? Or perhaps they'll prove they can avenge their failure with a better result in the Grand Final and qualify for the PMGO SEA 2026 Spring? We'll just have to wait and see.
