Alter Ego coach, Aldo, said that REKT could be a great coach in MPL ID. Even the figure who in MPL ID S13 was still an El Familia player has everything to achieve success as a coach, like Xabi Alonso in the world of football.
REKT’s first experience as Alter Ego’s coach in MPL ID S14 was not easy. Until week 6, his team had only won five of the 11 matches they had played and made his team’s position in the standings far from safe.
REKT’s advantages as Alter Ego’s coach in several interviews with the coach whose real name is Gustian, he admitted that his decision to become Alter Ego’s coach was also more due to the factor of wanting to pay toktoto for his mistakes as a player to the team that had given him the opportunity to join, but had never been able to qualify for the playoffs in the last two seasons.
So it can be said that the 28-year-old Alter Ego coach chose to change direction because he was forced to. Moreover, his team also did not get the right replacement after Nafari, their old coach, left.
Despite his background, what REKT has shown so far for Alter Ego has received praise from Aldo. Even the former ONIC and Bigetron Alpha coach believes that REKT can be a great coach in MPL Indonesia.
Even though he has just debuted as a coach, Aldo thinks REKT has everything needed to be a great coach. This is due to his experience as a player since MPL ID S1 which can have a big impact on the Alter Ego players he is currently coaching, to the point of saying he can imitate Xabi Alonso.
“REKT becomes Xabi Alonso? Absolutely possible. He is a player who has been a champion, is good at his field, and has achieved a lot. Now he is a coach, so he can be very player-minded,” Aldo told ONE Esports.
Gustian is a figure who can put himself in the shoes of a player and can provide a lot of input that is easy for his players to digest. So yes, it is possible (to be a great coach).
The term “REKT becomes Xabi Alonso” actually emerged in a casual chat between ONE Esports and Aldo when Bayer Leverkusen successfully won the Bundesliga aka the German League in the 2023/24 season under Xabi Alonso. The name of the Spanish football coach was also used because he had great qualities during his time as a player and at the beginning of his career as a coach very quickly.
EVOS Glory’s chances of qualifying for the MPL ID S14 playoffs after losing to Alter Ego in week 6, Sunday (15/9), are still open. What are the White Tiger’s chances? Check out the scenario.
EVOS Glory’s journey in the regular season of MPL ID S14 is really far from the expectations and hopes of MLBB fans. As runners-up last season, Anavel et al had to suffer 10 defeats from the first 11 matches.
