Week 4 Recap: A royal rumble

Billed as the most highly anticipated match going of the Regular Season, the match between Selangor Red Giants and Team Vamos was going to be shaped heavily by its Junglers, with both thriving in this assassin-dominated meta. Perhaps it was why both Junglers were casualties number one and two, taken out within the very first minute of the match. Team Vamos' Jungler, Muhammad Nazhan "Chibi" bin Mohd Nor, lost both the purple buff and his life after a successful invasion by the Giants' Mark "Kramm" Rusiana and Muhammad "Yums" Suhairi. This was followed soon after by Muhammad Haqqullah "Sekys" bin Ahmad Shahrul Zaman being chain crowd controlled by Exp Laner Aeliff "Smooth" Ariff, Mid Laner Rizky "Warlord" Agustian, and Roamer Mohammad "Xorn" Noor.

 

Despite much of the pre-match spotlight being dominated by the Junglers, it was Selangor Red Giants' Gold Laner, John "Innocent" Banal, who stole the plaudits as Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Match with his surprise pick of Wanwan and Moskov giving him 11 kills, zero deaths, and 9 assists. The mercurial marksman also secured two Triple Kills, one of which came in the ultimate teamfight in Game 2, which led to the complete Wipeout of Team Vamos.

 

Selangor Red Giants Coach, Michael "Arcadia" Bocado, believes that "sacrifice" has been core to the team's success. In response to queries about topping the Regular Season standings and earning a place at the M6 World Championship, he said: "We're confident that we can win it all as long as we sacrifice as how we sacrificed last season."

 

However, he also cautioned: "I think that the confidence is always there. It's just up to us how we're going to put in the work. Because we cannot just be confident and not do anything extraordinary or don't put the work into the game."
