The story of REKT and Luminaire suddenly skipping MSC 2021 remains a hot topic even today. Even though it happened four years ago, it’s still a running joke for many.

Back then, EVOS Legends had just won MPL ID Season 7, securing their slot at MSC 2021. However, just before the international tournament, REKT and Luminaire unexpectedly withdrew, replaced by Rexxy and LJ.

EVOS didn’t perform poorly—they finished 3rd place, which was still respectable. But many believe that if REKT and Luminaire had played, EVOS could have dominated MSC—the only official international trophy missing from their cabinet.

Mas Ade (EVOS’ manager) has repeatedly teased Luminaire about this. But now, for the first time, REKT has spoken up—and he gave a serious explanation.

REKT Reveals the Truth: He Never Wanted to Skip MSC 2021

REKT has been actively streaming again recently, filling his free time during the long MPL ID Season 15 Lebaran break. When asked by viewers about the "REKT ninja MSC" incident, he responded seriously—admitting he was shocked when Luminaire decided not to play.

"Let’s talk seriously. Maybe some already know, some don’t. I was shocked when suddenly Luminaire said he didn’t want to play. I was really stressed," REKT revealed.

"Who was I supposed to play with? My duo partner was gone, my contract was about to expire, and EVOS hadn’t discussed an extension. I had to think about who my midlaner would be."

"Well, I’m a visionary, guys. Honestly, without Luminaire, it was tough—I had to play with Rexxy. Me and Luminaire had perfect synergy; we just understood each other’s playstyle."

"So I thought, ‘Fine, I’ll focus on next season.’ I even flew to Pontianak to convince Wann to make a comeback. But then I got hit with COVID, had to quarantine in a hotel for two weeks. Still, it was worth it—Wann returned in Season 8. It’s hard to compete as a roamer if you’re not playing with someone on your level."

What Really Happened?

• Luminaire was the one who suddenly refused to play, leaving REKT in a tough spot.

• REKT wanted to compete but had no choice—his contract situation was uncertain, and his synergy with Rexxy wasn’t the same.

• His attempt to bring back Wann for Season 8 was delayed due to COVID quarantine, but it eventually worked out.

Final Thought:
Had REKT and Luminaire played at MSC 2021, could EVOS have won it all? We’ll never know—but REKT’s side of the story finally clears up one of MPL’s biggest mysteries.
