Even though there are not many, the Mobile Legends number at the XXI National Sports Week 2924 Aceh North Sumatra (MLBB PON 2024) was attended by several Indonesian MDL and MPL players, whether still active or not. Even though they have performed at the highest level, they still enjoy playing at PON.
In MLBB PON 2024, there are several players who are familiar to Indonesian MPL fans, such as Garry, who played for Dewa United Esports in season 13 and Ryyota from Lampung, who in season 14 became part of the Rebellion Esports roster. On the other hand, there are many more active or no longer active players from MDL Indonesia.
These players can appear in MLBB PON 2024 because their competition schedule does not conflict with MDL and MPL. However, apart from this, they also received toktotoslot permission from the team that oversees them to be able to defend their respective regions.
Of the many pro players, Crisman Agus Siagian alias Chr1sphobia as roamer and captain of North Sumatra is one of them. He once defended Team Liquid ID Academy at MDL ID S9 along with several players who are now Team Liquid ID stars at MPL ID S14 such as AeronnShikii and Faviannn.
Appearing to defend North Sumatra at MLBB PON 2024, Cris admitted that he did not feel downgraded or downgraded, even though there were many pro players also defending other contingents. In fact, he felt very proud to be able to play in this event.
There must be pride, because we defend the place where we grew up. So the pride is almost the same as when we defend the national team, but the difference is that it is a little lower, because we defend the region.
Until this article was published, the North Sumatra team had succeeded in advancing to the grand final after appearing undefeated throughout the 2024 MLBB PON. They had successfully defeated Banten, West Nusa Tenggara, and the team which was also quite the favorite to win the gold medal in this event, Bali.
In these three matches, North Sumatra’s journey could not be said to be easy. They were given difficulties by West Nusa Tenggara and also Bali. This means that the competitive level in this event cannot be taken lightly, including by the pro players who are in it.
According to Cris, the level of competition in MLBB PON 2024 is equivalent to that in League 1 of the National Esports League. This means that this event can also be compared to MDL Indonesia, where there are several teams that make this event no higher than League 1.
“In my opinion, the level of competition in MLBB PON is almost the same as in the National League 1. “But strategically, cris and we still lose to MPL .
The thing that makes MLBB PON similar to big League 1 is the chemistry and strategy. When compared to MPL, they are much neater while here they are still a little less matur.
