Several teams took drastic steps by completely overhauling their line-up, while others tried to maintain some of their rosters in the hope that the chemistry that had been built would improve as the tournament progressed.
To understand how the competition between the best Indonesian MLBB teams is going, here we present the MPL ID S14 standings which we will update regularly.
While the regular season is still quite long, RRQ Hoshi’s certainty of qualifying for the MPL ID S14 playoffs has been confirmed in week 6. The King game hero became the first team confirmed to advance to the final phase after defeating Bigetron Alpha with a score of 2-1, Sunday (15/9).
Facing Bigetron Alpha, RRQ Hoshi was left behind in the first game. In fact, they had taken control of the game in the early game, before the game was determined by the little things and power of each hero played.
EMANN’s great and aggressive playin game using hero Roger was one of the determinants of Bigetron Alpha’s success in winning the first game. Likewise with Super Luke’s Phoveus who successfully made it difficult for RRQ Hoshi to defend.
But after that, RRQ Hoshi managed to rise. But the difference is, this time RRQ Hoshi managed to continue for their dominance since the early game until it became a snowball that was difficult for Bigetron Alpha to break.
In this game, Roger was again the “big star” of the game, but this time played by Sutsujin as a jungler. In the second Lord fight in the 13th minute, he and his team successfully won the teamfight until they got Maniac and wiped out to make the game a 1-1 draw.
In the third game, neither roroslot team could be said to have taken full control of the game because they played equally strong. However, several RRQ Hoshi teamfight wins in the mid game play made them far superior, until they surprisingly managed to finish the game in the 11th minute.
This result makes RRQ Hoshi even more powerful at the top of the MPL ID S14 standings with a Match W-L record of 9-1, while widening the gap with Bigetron Alpha who previously stalked their position from second place which now has a Match W-L record of 8-3.
In addition, this result also ensures that RRQ Hoshi will qualify for the MPL ID S14 playoffs after their points can no longer be chased by the team in 7th place, DEWA United Esports with a record of 4-7. This certainty also makes them the fastest team to achieve this.
If calculated since season 12, where MPL ID had nine teams for competing, no one has ever been able to ensure their qualification to the playoffs as quickly as RRQ Hoshi. This is a new history for the team and the competition.
However, on the other hand, RRQ Hoshi must not be careless. The King still has an important mission to ensure their qualification to the upper bracket playoffs with six matches left.
