MSC or Mobile Legends: Bang Bang South East Asia Championship is a tournament that brings together the best MLBB teams from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Singapore, and Vietnam to become the best team in Southeast Asia.

However, as time goes by, MLBB esports is growing globally and MSC is no longer only for teams in Southeast Asia. Other regions such as North America, Latin America, Europe, and Brazil will participate in MSC 2023.

MSC 2023 is expected to be a turning point for the Indonesian team in bringing the country's esports name back to number one. Besides being able to make their team, friends, and family proud, those who compete in MSC also bring and intend to make Indonesia proud in the international esports stage.

Currently, Indonesia is hungry for the MLBB title. It has been four years since the last time an Indonesian team won an international MLBB championship. The Indonesian national team also failed to win gold at the 32nd SEA Games. So, MSC 2023 is expected to be the turning point for the Indonesian team in bringing the country's esports name back to number one.

Therefore, Moonton Indonesia took the initiative to organize the release of Indonesian team representatives, ONIC Esports and EVOS Legends to MSC 2023 which is expected to build the spirit of professional players (proplayers), and also to foster the support of all MLBB Esports fans in Indonesia.

"We did this initiative to attract support from all Indonesian citizens, not just MLBB esports fans. This is because it's not about the team but how can we bring Indonesia's name back to the top of the international esports map, especially MLBB. And to fulfill this expectation, support from all stakeholders is needed in achieving this goal," said Azwin Nugraha, Public Relations & Communications Manager of Moonton Indonesia.

On the same occasion, ONIC Esports CEO & Co-founder Justin Widjaja, the team that became King of the Galaxy MPL Indonesia Season 11 said, "Those who compete in MSC, can not only make their team, friends and family proud. They bring and intend to make Indonesia proud in the international esports scene.”

Meanwhile, Ita Widjaja as Tazz's mother is also happy that her son can play in MSC 2023. "I am proud because before that my son (Tazz) was nobody, playing Mobile Legends which was just a hobby in the room now he can be seen and watched by everyone. I also didn't think that his hobby would make me and my friends proud, and even represent Indonesia," said Tazz's mother.

Previously, Tazz and EVOS Esports represented the MLBB Indonesia team at the International Esports Federation (IESF) World Championship in December last year. The Indonesian team managed to become world champions after eliminating their arch-rival, the Philippines, in the grand final with a score of 3-0 in the Best of Five (BO5) match.

CEO & Co-founder of EVOS Esports Hartman Harris hopes that his team can give their best and restore Indonesia's glory.

“There are many players who started their career from zero, Tazz is one of them. Starting from playing in warkop tournaments, becoming a jockey, finally channeling his talents in MDL, promotion to MPL, and finally becoming world champion is not an achievement that can be underestimated. I hope Tazz and friends can give their best at MSC 2023 and can be an example and proof that nothing is impossible in this world if we are willing to try," concluded Hartman.

MSC 2023 will be held on June 10-13 for the group phase and will continue with the knockout phase on June 15-18. Based on the group draw results, EVOS Legends is in the hell group because they met Fenix Esports from Myanmar. Not only that, Hijume and friends will also meet RSG Slate, a team from Singapore in group B.

On the other hand, ONIC is in Group C and is competing with two other teams from North America, namely Outplay and Burn X Flash from Cambodia. These two Indonesian teams must fight for tickets to go to the next round and not be eliminated in the MSC 2023 group phase.
