Before we start again, we would like to thank our official teleco partner, Smart.

Dito lang. We can't wait. And again, last episode, if you guys haven't caught it yet, that was we covered MPL Brazil.
01:09.0
We were lucky enough to be joined by RRQ Akira's Luis, a very popular player and name out there.
01:16.0
So hope you guys got to watch that. Again, thank you, Luis, for joining us for that episode.
01:20.0
Now, we are going to be moving on, as we said, to another part of the world.
01:24.0
And in this one, we're going to cover the Middle East region. This is also known as MPL MENA.
01:30.0
There's a lot happening over there right now. And, you know, I know you and I both, Manjean,
01:35.0
we've had our time to talk to some of the players and everything, even with the previous IASF before.
01:41.0
But today, we're going to be talking about a coach and a person who has done a lot for this scene.
01:47.0
Manjean, can you go ahead and welcome our esteemed guest for today?
01:51.0
For this episode, he has also served as a coach for Onyx Philippines last season.
01:58.0
At ngayon, headlining the coaching staff for MPL MENA's Triple Esports.
02:06.0
Ladies and gentlemen, Coach Lyric. Boom!
02:12.0
Boom!
02:14.0
Hello po!
02:16.0
Yo! Coach Lyric!
02:18.0
From Saudi Arabia with love!
02:22.0
What's up?
02:24.0
Okay lang. Goods lang.
02:27.0
Wait, Coach, are you in? Where are you now? Like, where are you located right now, apparently?
02:32.0
Technically, I'm already in the Philippines. I'm not in Saudi.
02:36.0
Practice lang, Coach. Practice lang.
02:38.0
Practice lang, practice.
02:40.0
Online, online lang yung regular season sa MENA.
02:46.0
Vali, yung playoffs talaga yung me-off lang. Kaya, dun siguro.
02:51.0
Upunta ka?
02:52.0
Ay, lilipad, lilipad.
02:54.0
Yun naman pala. Yun naman pala.
02:58.0
So, their whole regular season is online, no?
03:01.0
Online lang.
03:03.0
Baka may mga fans kasi si Coach Lyric na malito, alright?
03:07.0
So, ayusin lang natin yung timeline siguro, Naisu.
03:09.0
For the fans of Coach Lyric and of course the team of Triple Esports,
03:15.0
itong episode natin ay atin pong, disclaimer lang ah, atin pong nare-record before the MPL MENA playoffs.
03:24.0
So, before. So, by the time na baka mag-start na yung playoffs nila, may result na,
03:31.0
magulat kayo yun, parin yung pinag-uusapan natin.
03:34.0
Again, this is before the flight and the MPL MENA playoffs.
03:39.0
ng MPL MENA.
03:41.0
Alright? Alright? So, clear? Clear?
03:43.0
Clear.
03:44.0
Okay?
03:45.0
Clear.
03:46.0
So, Coach, we're gonna go ahead and start first for
03:50.0
basically, the story, the history of how you ended up coaching MPL MENA, right?
03:57.0
Because Manjean also mentioned, you know, you guys were a part of the bronze medal winners for ISF in Romania.
04:03.0
And, you know, that happened.
04:06.0
But before all that, before that happened, you were from Onyx Philippines, right?
04:11.0
And so, can you take us through, can you tell us your story, your kwento on how you went from Onyx Philippines
04:19.0
to, basically, where you are now today, Triple Esports?
04:23.0
Medyo mahaba kasi yan, eh. Ano ba ang gusto nyo?
04:26.0
Yung medyo dramatic?
04:27.0
O yung medyo derederecho na.
04:31.0
Mahaba kasi yung nangyari sa amin nun, eh.
04:33.0
Especially dun sa run namin noong season 11.
04:37.0
Parang, ang nangyari kasi nun,
04:39.0
sobrang, balak ko talaga nun, medyo magpapahinga muna ako.
04:43.0
Kasi, sobrang, medyo nalungkot ako dun sa naging run namin.
04:49.0
Ang ganda kasi nung pasok namin noong week 8 noong season 11,
04:54.0
parang natalo namin yung Bren.
04:56.0
Tapos, eh, first seed yung Bren.
04:58.0
Parang, hype na hype lahat na, ah, maganda yung pasok ng training namin.
05:03.0
Tapos, tuloy-tuloy yung training namin dun sa Onyx.
05:06.0
Ang nangyari nga lang, nung, naalala ko pa anong yung training season namin nun,
05:12.0
yung two weeks na training season,
05:14.0
ang record namin, kung tama yung alala ko,
05:17.0
parang 42 wins kami nun sa scrim.
05:19.0
Tapos, pitong beses draw.
05:22.0
Tapos, tatlong talo lang ata amin yung two weeks.
05:25.0
So, parang, feeling ko prepared na prepared talaga amin noong season na yun.
05:29.0
Or, nung, para sa playoffs.
05:31.0
Kaso, nung dumating yung playoffs,
05:33.0
medyo nagkaroon nung mga problema-problema.
05:36.0
Parang gano'n, yung mismong araw.
05:38.0
Kaya, parang, hindi nailabas nung mga bata yung mga training namin.
05:44.0
Tapos, parang, medyo na-question ko yung sarili ko na,
05:48.0
ba, tama ba yung mga ginawa ko?
05:50.0
Gano'n, dapat ata mas ganito yung ginawa ko.
05:53.0
Kaya, nung mga panongyong medyo nalungkot ako.
05:56.0
So, sabi ko, papahinga muna ako this season, mag-YouTube muna ako.
06:00.0
Yun, ginawa ko, nag-YouTube ako.
06:01.0
Isang buwan, nag-upload lang ako ng mga videos sa YouTube.
06:04.0
Doon, naghanap ng team.
06:05.0
Tapos, piglang, may nag-PM sa akin.
06:07.0
Sabi niya, parang,
06:10.0
ba, gusto mong mag-coach one week lang para doon sa digital games sa Russia.
06:17.0
Sabi ko, oh, sige, one week lang naman pala.
06:19.0
Tapos, online pa, di ako.
06:21.0
Parang, hindi hassle.
06:22.0
Parang, sarap na.
06:23.0
Nasa bahay ka lang.
06:24.0
Tapos, coach-coach ka lang.
06:26.0
So, yun.
06:27.0
Habang talaga na-train to yung team na yun,
06:30.0
doon ko na-meet yung team ko ngayon.
06:33.0
Sila Tarzan.
06:34.0
Sila Lark.
06:35.0
Si Sanji.
06:36.0
So, nangyari.
06:37.0
O, si Sanji yun.
06:39.0
So, pagtapos doon,
06:40.0
nung natapos na yung digital,
06:45.0
tapos na, so, balik na ako sa YouTube.
06:47.0
Tapos, nag-PM sila sa akin.
06:49.0
Parang, sabi nila,
06:50.0
um, nag-coach ka pa rin ba?
06:52.0
Gusto kasi namin magkaroon ng coach para sa pasok namin sa MPL may na.
06:57.0
Tapos, sabi ko, oh, nag-coach pa rin ako.
06:59.0
Tapos, yun, nag-usap-usap kami.
07:00.0
Tapos, eh, ang problema,
07:02.0
ano, parang estudyante lang talaga sila.
07:05.0
Wala silang org, wala silang manager, wala silang kahit ano.
07:08.0
So, sabi nila, parang,
07:09.0
hindi namin kayang magbayad ng PF.
07:12.0
Gunto na lang yung gagawin namin.
07:14.0
Maghahanap kami ng org,
07:15.0
parang yung org yung magbabayad sa'yo.
07:17.0
Tapos, itrain mo kami.
07:19.0
Tapos, saka tayo magtuloy-tuloy.
07:21.0
Tapos, ganun ngayon, nangyari mo.
07:22.0
Nakahanap sila ng org.
07:23.0
Kinontak nila ako.
07:24.0
Tapos, doon na.
07:25.0
Doon na nagtuloy-tuloy yung training namin para sa IES.
07:30.0
And then, sumakto.
07:32.0
Nagulat kasi lahat.
07:33.0
Third kayo ng IES.
07:35.0
Ayun nga.
07:36.0
Makita yung momentum.
07:38.0
Usually, bihira mag-ano eh,
07:40.0
sa mga World Tournament.
07:44.0
I think it's the first time na umabot ang may nasa,
07:48.0
na may top three.
07:51.0
And yun, Saudi Arabia pa yun.
07:53.0
Di ba?
07:54.0
Saudi Arabia pa yun.
07:55.0
Sobrang tindi nun, ha?
07:57.0
Sobrang tindi.
07:58.0
And the fact na ikaw pala yung coach,
08:00.0
nilang din namin alaman yun.
08:02.0
Coach Liry.
08:03.0
Kumusta yung adjustment mo?
08:05.0
Kasi, malamang hindi ka nag-adjust sa culture
08:07.0
kasi nasa Pinas ka naman.
08:09.0
Nasa bahay.
08:10.0
Oo, nasa bahay ka.
08:11.0
Pero adjusting to, of course, the online setup
08:15.0
and the coaching.
08:16.0
How is the coaching?
08:17.0
How do you overcome the challenges
08:20.0
ng pagko-coach nitong mga international players?
08:25.0
Of course, naging-Englishan kayo.
08:27.0
Division kayo.
08:28.0
Automatic yun, no?
08:29.0
Kaya.
08:31.0
Siguro nalang sa setup, wala talaga akong issue
08:35.0
kasi yun nga, medyo expertise ko talaga
08:38.0
yung content creation.
08:39.0
So, mga video-video tapos pagpapaliwanag
08:42.0
parang hindi talaga siya gano'ng kahirap sa akin.
08:45.0
Pero siguro yung pinaka challenges
08:49.0
na hanggang ngayon, in-overcome namin is
08:52.0
kasi yung mga players ko, hindi sila full-time.
08:55.0
Di ba?
08:56.0
Studenti sila.
08:57.0
So, hati talaga yung oras sa training
09:00.0
tapos oras sa training
09:04.0
tapos oras sa school.
09:05.0
Parang hindi talaga kami katulad nung ibang team
09:08.0
na umagat ang halika, BML lang yung iniisip.
09:10.0
Yung mga players ko parang nagre-review pa sa quiz
09:12.0
o mga gano'n.
09:13.0
So, yun talaga yung challenges namin.
09:16.0
Tapos pagka-kompleto yun, nakakapag-screen kami
09:19.0
isa, dalawa.
09:20.0
Pero pagka wala talaga, ginagawa ko nalang.
09:23.0
Gumagawa ko ng mga video-analysis.
09:25.0
Tapos pagka may MPA, lalo na pagka ganyan,
09:28.0
guwagawa ko ng mga summarize na ito yung mga ginawa nila,
09:31.0
ganito dapat.
09:32.0
Try natin ito next time para hindi na kumain ng oras.
09:36.0
Kasi pagka pinanood pa nila yung buong laban,
09:39.0
parang ang dami pang...
09:40.0
Ubus na yung oras namin sa papanood din.
09:43.0
Tapos, wala na.
09:44.0
Ubus na...
09:45.0
Tapos na agad yung araw, hindi na kami nakapag-training.
09:47.0
So, gano'n talaga yung struggle.
09:49.0
Interesting.
09:50.0
Yeah, because we, you know,
09:51.0
in our previous episodes,
09:52.0
we've talked to, you know,
09:53.0
other coaches from different regions,
09:55.0
handling different regions,
09:56.0
like Coach Arcadia, Coach Dale,
09:58.0
Coach Zico recently.
10:00.0
And even back when we talked to Sass and Dave,
10:03.0
that was a lot of the difference
10:05.0
that we see from region to region.
10:06.0
You know, some of these players are...
10:08.0
They have to focus on either work, school,
10:11.0
or something else in life
10:12.0
other than pure MLBB.
10:15.0
You know, and so I think that's a big challenge
10:18.0
in organizing that.
10:20.0
So, for example,
10:21.0
let's say in a typical week, right?
10:23.0
These players are going to school.
10:25.0
Is it like one or two hours every night
10:28.0
for preparation?
10:29.0
Or is it less than that?
10:30.0
Like, what's the schedule kind of like?
10:34.0
Bali, ngayon kasi,
10:35.0
pinilit ko talagang kumuha ng sub
10:38.0
para kahit papano.
10:40.0
Pag, for example,
10:41.0
hindi pwede si player na ganto,
10:43.0
may pwede kaming ipalit.
10:45.0
Tapos, pag hindi player si ganto,
10:46.0
pwede kaming hindi palit.
10:47.0
Actually,
10:48.0
yung isang sub namin,
10:50.0
matagal na nilang kasama.
10:52.0
Gold lane siya.
10:53.0
Pero pag, alam mo ba,
10:54.0
wala kaming XP,
10:55.0
siya yung nag-XP.
10:56.0
Pag wala kaming Mage,
10:58.0
siya yung nag-Mage.
10:59.0
Talagang.
11:00.0
Sabi ko sa nila,
11:01.0
wala tayong magagawa.
11:03.0
Kailangan natin isurvive yung meron tayo.
11:06.0
Kesa parang ma-frustrate tayo
11:08.0
na hindi nagkakatagmatik
11:10.0
may schedule.
11:11.0
I-take advantage na lang natin.
11:13.0
Parang matuto kayong...
11:15.0
Ganito yung sabi ko sa nila.
11:17.0
Kung wala yung XP natin
11:19.0
tapos hindi magaling yung...
11:21.0
Kasi hindi naman XP may inyong kapalit.
11:23.0
Dapat, matuto kayong mag-step up
11:25.0
sa sarili nyo na...
11:26.0
Kasi hindi naman laging panalo yung XP.
11:28.0
So, kung pangit yung performance niya ngayon,
11:31.0
matuto kayong bumuhat.
11:32.0
Matuto kayong mag-step up.
11:34.0
Huwag natin isisi na
11:36.0
ang hirap mag-training kasi walang tento.
11:38.0
Ang hirap mag-training kasi walang tento.
11:40.0
So, ganun.
11:41.0
Pag minsan, dalawang scrim.
11:43.0
Minsan, isang scrim.
11:45.0
Tapos, yun yung parang nakabihitin talaga
11:48.0
pero ganun talaga.
11:49.0
Binabawi ko na lang talaga sa
11:51.0
pag-i-edit na or analysis
11:53.0
para habang mag-review sila
11:55.0
or may free time sila.
11:57.0
Manood sila 5 minutes, 3 minutes.
11:59.0
Nag-upload ka pa rin ba, coach?
12:01.0
Sorry ah.
12:02.0
Sa YouTube?
12:03.0
Hindi na.
12:04.0
Sa kanila na ako nag-upload.
12:06.0
Sa kanila na ako nag-upload.
12:07.0
Ah, okay.
12:08.0
So, ano din.
12:09.0
So, din ginagawang ang video.
12:11.0
Yung oras mo din,
12:13.0
kinumit mo sa team.
12:15.0
Kasi parang napansin...
12:16.0
Oo, ako yung full-time.
12:17.0
Oo, napansin ko kasi nung
12:19.0
hindi ka pa nga rin on it.
12:21.0
Yung upload ni Lyric, dire-direcho yan.
12:23.0
Minsan.
12:24.0
Minsan nanonood daw kay Lyric eh.
12:26.0
Yung mga...
12:28.0
Mga...
12:29.0
Kuhaan-tawa nga ako,
12:30.0
nag-comment kasi isang video ko eh.
12:32.0
Nag-comment pala ako noon.
12:33.0
Kuhaan-tawa ako noon eh.
12:34.0
May isang video ako noon,
12:35.0
nag-comment ka.
12:36.0
Tapos, chinek ko,
12:37.0
Sip, yung gin ba talaga doon?
12:39.0
Hindi yung totoo, coach.
12:40.0
Hindi yung totoo.
12:41.0
Fake man gin.
12:42.0
But anyways,
12:44.0
ang ganda kasi, coach,
12:45.0
ang kwento mo na, no?
12:47.0
You're a content creator analyst,
12:51.0
then turn coach,
12:52.0
and now international coach.
12:54.0
Kasi ano yan eh,
12:56.0
parang doon din nakakagulat din
12:58.0
na may mga pro-teams in the Philippines
13:01.0
na kayo yung nasa scout
13:03.0
at nakikita yung mga analysts
13:05.0
na dinibigay niyo.
13:07.0
This time, second team mo palang to, no?
13:10.0
Like second season?
13:12.0
Tama?
13:13.0
Or nag-season 10 ka ba?
13:15.0
Nag-season 10 ako nung playoffs.
13:18.0
Ah, playoffs!
13:20.0
Nung playoffs na ako.
13:22.0
Nag-opisan nung season 10.
13:24.0
Playoffs na pala yun.
13:26.0
You mentioned na, syempre,
13:28.0
gusto mo na sana mag-give up.
13:30.0
Pero the fact na gineve up mo yung,
13:32.0
hindi mo naman gineve up totally,
13:34.0
pero yung YouTube,
13:35.0
medyo sinideline mo muna,
13:36.0
pinag-give up mo muna,
13:38.0
ibig sabihin,
13:40.0
yung mula dyan,
13:42.0
yung tiiptan dyan,
13:45.0
mukhang gana naman.
13:47.0
Well, gana naman,
13:49.0
gana talaga sya.
13:51.0
Survivable?
13:53.0
More than, more than survivable.
13:55.0
Okay, okay, okay.
13:56.0
Good thing, good thing.
13:57.0
Pero isa pa talaga sa naging dahilan
14:00.0
kung bakit sumintu talaga ako sa YouTube,
14:04.0
may isang player na na-touch talaga ako.
14:06.0
Nung pagkatapos namin nung season,
14:08.0
nung pagrakas namin nung ISO,
14:10.0
chinat niya ako, sabi niya,
14:12.0
Coach, magdadrop ako ng dalawang sub-team
14:15.0
para matuloy-tuloy ko yung pagtitraining.
14:17.0
Kasi may tiwala ako sa,
14:20.0
parang may tiwala ako sa team natin.
14:22.0
Tapos dahil nandito ka na ngayon,
14:24.0
parang mas, alam ko,
14:26.0
mali-lead mo kami ng maayos
14:28.0
pagpunta sa championship, parang gano'n.
14:30.0
So, parang, ewan ko,
14:32.0
ang touching niya sakin,
14:34.0
alam kong makarinig naman gano'n.
14:36.0
Kaya sabi ko, sige naman,
14:37.0
mag-full-time na talaga ako dito,
14:38.0
hindi na ako pwede.
14:39.0
Kasi nag-sacrifice sila eh,
14:41.0
hindi pwede naman ako mag-sacrifice.
14:43.0
Nag-commit eh.
14:45.0
Nag-commit nga eh.
14:47.0
Na-touch talaga ako doon,
14:48.0
kaya sabi,
14:49.0
ala, kailangan ko,
14:50.0
kailangan na talaga namin panindigan to.
14:52.0
Sumintu talaga ako ng YouTube.
14:54.0
Gosh, I'm already thinking of that story,
14:56.0
you know, like the storyline.
14:57.0
I know this doesn't happen,
14:59.0
I know we still have time left,
15:00.0
and the playoffs and everything,
15:02.0
but imagine mo si Coach Lyric here with,
15:04.0
let's say, triple gaming sa Philippines, no?
15:07.0
Kasi I think the way MENA works is right,
15:09.0
the first place goes to M5,
15:11.0
yung second place, wildcard.
15:13.0
Sa wildcard, yes.
15:14.0
Oo, yung wildcard is confirmed November.
15:17.0
Yeah, so the wildcard,
15:19.0
second place ng MPL MENA goes to wildcard.
15:21.0
Yung first place, automatic ticket sa M5.
15:24.0
Wow, so two chances.
15:25.0
Maganda rin.
15:26.0
Maganda rin.
15:27.0
Oo, not bad.
15:28.0
Kung wala ka, second place,
15:31.0
meron ka pang isang chance.
15:33.0
Pero syempre, gusto nyo, first place agad.
15:35.0
Usually, yung mga nakakausap namin coaches dito,
15:37.0
coach, gusto nila,
15:39.0
kumunta agad ng Philippines
15:41.0
para makapag-practice,
15:43.0
to do ranked games.
15:45.0
Kasi iba daw eh,
15:46.0
paano kayo nag-detraining,
15:47.0
paano kayo nag-scrim?
15:49.0
Yun yung tingin ko,
15:51.0
pinaka-struggle din dito sa MPL MENA.
15:54.0
Kasi yung PH,
15:56.0
nung nasa UNICPA ako,
15:57.0
pwede namin makascrim yung Inter,
15:59.0
pwede namin makascrim yung MY, yung SG.
16:02.0
Dito sa MENA,
16:04.0
pwede mo lang ma-scrim yung
16:06.0
mismo yung mga kasama namin.
16:08.0
Parang naglulokohan lang kami.
16:10.0
Kasi may advantage yung mga nakabase sa UAE.
16:15.0
Kasi may,
16:17.0
si coach Dilot sa Okami,
16:19.0
PH coach din siya,
16:21.0
siya nandito,
16:23.0
nakakausap ko,
16:24.0
nakakascrim daw nila yung ibang PH team.
16:26.0
Pero ang problema,
16:27.0
yung PING mga 80 MS,
16:29.0
90 siyang PH,
16:30.0
medyo mahirap.
16:31.0
Tapos kami dito sa KSA,
16:33.0
medyo hindi talaga kaya,
16:35.0
200 MS.
16:36.0
So,
16:37.0
yung mismong strat,
16:40.0
hindi mo matatago,
16:41.0
kasi yung makakascrim mo,
16:44.0
sabi kami lang din yung naglulokohan.
16:46.0
Oo.
16:47.0
So,
16:49.0
struggle.
16:51.0
Struggle siya kapag galaban mo international.
16:53.0
Yeah.
16:55.0
Oo.
16:57.0
Patuloy na nalang mag-adopt talaga.
17:00.0
Ganon yung mangyayari.
17:02.0
Hirap yan.
17:03.0
You know,
17:04.0
even working with the difference sa PING.
17:06.0
Kasi when we were there
17:08.0
sa Saudi Arabia for the Asian Championships
17:11.0
ng ISF,
17:12.0
same thing.
17:13.0
We were trying to play in Riyadh.
17:14.0
Tapos,
17:15.0
it's hard to adjust if you're used to playing
17:17.0
sa Philippines or Indonesia na,
17:19.0
let's say,
17:20.0
5 MS,
17:21.0
3 MS,
17:22.0
mas smooth.
17:23.0
Iba yung gameplay pag
17:25.0
hiring PING mo.
17:27.0
Naglaro din kayo ng ISF.
17:29.0
We tried,
17:30.0
pero sobrang hirap to adjust.
17:34.0
Speaking of,
17:35.0
I don't know,
17:36.0
coach,
17:37.0
since you even mentioned,
17:38.0
you know,
17:39.0
other coaches there,
17:40.0
and we've,
17:41.0
like we said,
17:42.0
we've talked a lot of,
17:43.0
on these episodes,
17:44.0
specifically,
17:45.0
yung impact.
17:46.0
Let's say the impact of Philippine imports.
17:48.0
Kasi that was a big thing
17:49.0
that started earlier this year, right?
17:51.0
We had the first imports kind of go out
17:53.0
to these different regions,
17:54.0
not just players,
17:55.0
but of course coaches,
17:56.0
analysts,
17:57.0
everything.
17:58.0
How do you think
17:59.0
that impacts
18:00.0
the region there?
18:02.0
Like,
18:03.0
I know you're,
18:04.0
I know you're mostly teaching,
18:05.0
coaching online,
18:06.0
pero how do you think yung,
18:07.0
ano yung impact mo sa
18:09.0
Emena region?
18:12.0
Actually,
18:13.0
hindi lang para sa akin.
18:14.0
Tingin ko para sa lahat ng import.
18:16.0
Parang,
18:17.0
mas,
18:18.0
tingin ko mas naging competitive talaga
18:20.0
yung scene,
18:21.0
simula nung
18:22.0
nagkaroon ng import.
18:23.0
Especially,
18:24.0
yung mga malalaking board,
18:26.0
talagang kumukuha sila ng
18:28.0
import na,
18:30.0
halimbawa si Lotric,
18:31.0
yung,
18:32.0
galing siya dating Todak,
18:33.0
tapos ngayon nandito na siya sa
18:35.0
Emena din,
18:36.0
sa Falcons.
18:37.0
Si Goodnight,
18:38.0
matagal na pala siya dito.
18:39.0
Tapos,
18:40.0
yung,
18:41.0
si Coach Dilot,
18:43.0
may kasama din siyang dalawang
18:44.0
import ng PH.
18:45.0
So,
18:46.0
tingin ko dahil doon,
18:47.0
mas naging competitive.
18:48.0
Kasi hanggang ngayon,
18:49.0
last week na namin sa
18:51.0
MPL MENA,
18:52.0
hindi pa rin sure kung sino yung
18:54.0
mga magpe-playoffs,
18:55.0
tapos hindi pa rin sure kung sino yung
18:56.0
mga hindi.
18:57.0
Sobrang,
18:58.0
sobrang random pa,
18:59.0
hindi random,
19:00.0
sobrang,
19:01.0
wala pa talagang sure,
19:02.0
hindi pa talaga sure kung sino yung
19:04.0
top 4 na magpe-playoffs.
19:05.0
Hindi pa sa mangyayari pa yung
19:07.0
big part.
19:08.0
Sobrang tight yung standings.
19:10.0
I see it, right?
19:11.0
11-11-10,
19:13.0
tapos 7-6-4.
19:14.0
Sobrang dikit.
19:16.0
Sobrang dikit pa talaga lahat.
19:18.0
Yung Triple Esports,
19:20.0
15.
19:22.0
Like you said,
19:23.0
you guys are secured.
19:24.0
Pero grabe.
19:26.0
Ganun pala,
19:27.0
ka-tight no?
19:28.0
Kasi naman,
19:29.0
kayo din yung natsi-scream eh.
19:30.0
Hindi parang mahirap na part eh.
19:34.0
Hindi mo matatago yung
19:35.0
extra picks.
19:40.0
Pero,
19:41.0
with the experience na meron ka,
19:42.0
since ano naman yan,
19:43.0
since online
19:46.0
experience,
19:48.0
masasabi mo ba na
19:50.0
yung gap between
19:52.0
Pinoy and
19:54.0
your players?
19:55.0
Gaano kahaba yun?
20:02.0
Kung yung quality talaga
20:04.0
ng mechanics,
20:05.0
at saka yung talino maglaro,
20:07.0
medyo hindi talaga matatanggi na
20:09.0
yung experience din kasi siguro eh
20:11.0
pagdating sa decision making.
20:14.0
Iba talaga
20:16.0
pag matagal ka na
20:18.0
or lagi kang nahihirapan,
20:19.0
parang pag nahirapan ka,
20:21.0
alam mo na yung feeling.
20:22.0
Dito kasi sa me,
20:23.0
na parang
20:24.0
yun yung gusto kong ipatrain sa mga players
20:26.0
kasi sila sila lang din yung naglalaro.
20:28.0
So,
20:29.0
parang
20:30.0
pag nahihirapan sila,
20:32.0
hindi sila sanay sa feeling na yun.
20:33.0
Kaya ang mangyayari,
20:35.0
parang it's either
20:36.0
matitilt na sila
20:37.0
or parang
20:39.0
tumatama na din yung mental fortitude.
20:41.0
Kaya,
20:42.0
tingin ko yun yung
20:44.0
lamang
20:45.0
pag nasa PH Indo,
20:46.0
kasi mahirap talaga lahat yan.
20:47.0
Wala namang easy game sa PH Indo.
20:50.0
So,
20:51.0
sanay na sila sa ganun,
20:52.0
yung decision making nila.
20:53.0
Mas maganda,
20:54.0
mas maayos.
20:55.0
Kasi,
20:56.0
hindi na bago sa amin to.
20:57.0
Pero,
20:58.0
sa amin kasi,
20:59.0
pag lumilate game na,
21:01.0
tumatagal na yung laban,
21:02.0
parang
21:03.0
paunahan na lang
21:04.0
kung sinong mapatig,
21:05.0
sinong magkamali.
21:06.0
Tapos,
21:07.0
yun na,
21:08.0
mag-e-snowball na matitilt na.
21:09.0
So,
21:10.0
yun talaga yung
21:11.0
train-e-training din namin ngayon.
21:14.0
Mga bata pa kasi din eh.
21:15.0
Oo.
21:17.0
Yung isa pa talaga yun.
21:20.0
Tapos yung isa,
21:21.0
nag-cancel pa ng
21:23.0
subjects.
21:26.0
It's really hard.
21:27.0
Nakakakuha na ako ng
21:28.0
common denominator
21:29.0
to other countries.
21:31.0
Kasi parang,
21:32.0
I think ang
21:33.0
sobrang ganda sa PH is
21:36.0
supported na
21:37.0
yung career.
21:39.0
Even in the airport,
21:40.0
kilala na yung mga players.
21:43.0
Parang nag-gets na eh.
21:44.0
Naiintindihan na na
21:46.0
meron ng nag-iexist
21:48.0
na ganitong industry.
21:50.0
Kahit na maliit pa lang.
21:51.0
Pero,
21:52.0
based on
21:54.0
Dave's stories,
21:56.0
kay Nadiel,
21:59.0
ano, no?
22:00.0
Parang maliit pa rin dyan, no?
22:03.0
Maliit pa rin sa kanila, no?
22:05.0
Community?
22:06.0
Community, or
22:08.0
di ka gaya dito?
22:10.0
Hindi nga talaga siya
22:11.0
ganit kalaki.
22:12.0
Kasi,
22:13.0
yung
22:15.0
technically parang
22:16.0
tatlong bansa siya
22:17.0
pinagsama-sama pa.
22:19.0
So, hindi pa talaga siya
22:20.0
stand-alone.
22:21.0
So, parang
22:22.0
Egypt,
22:23.0
UAE, at siya KST.
22:24.0
So,
22:26.0
medyo
22:27.0
maliit pa talaga
22:28.0
yung community.
22:31.0
I feel like too,
22:32.0
those parts of the world
22:33.0
are still trying to catch up
22:34.0
with the stigma
22:35.0
against gaming as well.
22:36.0
Like,
22:38.0
it's something that
22:39.0
was also said,
22:40.0
you know, with
22:41.0
Assassin Dave talking about
22:42.0
in the western part of the world,
22:44.0
yung
22:45.0
basically convincing
22:46.0
the parents
22:47.0
and
22:49.0
everyone involved na
22:50.0
there is something there
22:51.0
for gaming.
22:52.0
And,
22:53.0
I think
22:54.0
even for us
22:55.0
during MPL Philippines,
22:56.0
sometimes we're still
22:57.0
talking about that.
22:59.0
Just now,
23:00.0
I would say, what?
23:01.0
It's Season 12.
23:02.0
That was imagined.
23:03.0
Just now, you have
23:04.0
more and more parents
23:05.0
being supportive
23:06.0
and they're coming to watch
23:07.0
the players play
23:08.0
and
23:09.0
they know how much
23:11.0
support they have.
23:12.0
Pero, still,
23:14.0
the also common denominator there
23:16.0
is
23:17.0
even the parents
23:18.0
and families here
23:19.0
still prioritize
23:20.0
education over
23:21.0
a gaming career, right?
23:22.0
So,
23:23.0
that's why you see
23:24.0
even players, for example,
23:25.0
like recently,
23:26.0
like even Yawi, right?
23:27.0
Mentioning
23:28.0
studies and then
23:29.0
a lot of these students
23:30.0
like Sanji and them
23:31.0
are still in school somehow.
23:32.0
But,
23:33.0
you know,
23:34.0
we're just in an
23:35.0
environment now
23:36.0
dito sa Philippines na
23:38.0
the schools and the
23:39.0
systems,
23:40.0
the support systems
23:41.0
are willing to
23:42.0
adjust
23:43.0
for some of these
23:44.0
players in their
23:45.0
professional careers.
23:46.0
And so,
23:47.0
you know,
23:48.0
MPL MENA is still
23:49.0
relatively new.
23:50.0
Like,
23:51.0
it's still in its
23:52.0
kind of,
23:53.0
I would say,
23:54.0
infancy
23:55.0
because it's,
23:56.0
you know,
23:57.0
growing region.
23:58.0
So,
23:59.0
even community-wise,
24:00.0
it makes sense
24:01.0
why,
24:02.0
you know,
24:03.0
it still needs to
24:04.0
be accepted, right?
24:05.0
And that might
24:06.0
happen over months
24:07.0
or years
24:08.0
or who knows,
24:09.0
you know,
24:11.0
parang ano eh,
24:12.0
parang,
24:13.0
ngayon ko nga
24:14.0
na-realize na
24:15.0
hindi pwedeng
24:16.0
i-take for granted
24:17.0
yung,
24:18.0
kung ano man yung
24:19.0
nangyayari ngayon
24:20.0
sa Philippines
24:21.0
given the stories
24:22.0
of Coach
24:23.0
Lyric,
24:24.0
Dale,
24:25.0
plus,
24:26.0
ano pa,
24:27.0
yun nga,
24:28.0
students,
24:29.0
doon ako nagulat eh,
24:30.0
na giniba up.
24:31.0
Ano yan, Coach?
24:32.0
Naka-bootcamp kayo?
24:33.0
Naka-bootcamp sila?
24:34.0
Oh, hindi.
24:35.0
Kanya-kanyang
24:36.0
intern siya.
24:37.0
Oh,
24:38.0
sila na bahay lang.
24:40.0
Yun pa.
24:41.0
Yung isa,
24:42.0
yung dalawang player ko,
24:43.0
magkapatayin sila,
24:44.0
yung magkasama,
24:45.0
tapos yung iba talaga,
24:46.0
walang bootcamp.
24:47.0
Ano lang talaga.
24:48.0
Online-online lang.
24:49.0
Pag available kayo,
24:50.0
puntayin dito sa Discord
24:51.0
tapos nag-training tayo.
24:52.0
Buti mabilis,
24:53.0
buti kayo na kaya
24:54.0
ng internet,
24:55.0
well,
24:56.0
Saudi Arabia naman.
25:00.0
Anyways,
25:01.0
anyways,
25:02.0
ba't hindi ka kasama
25:03.0
doon sa Romania?
25:04.0
Sayang.
25:05.0
Wala pa kasi,
25:06.0
ano,
25:07.0
hindi pa.
25:08.0
Nung nag-umpisa sila,
25:09.0
nung ISF na una,
25:12.0
hindi pa ako kasama
25:13.0
sa official roster.
25:14.0
Bali,
25:15.0
itong
25:16.0
itong
25:17.0
itong playoffs lang
25:18.0
yung nangyari
25:19.0
na doon na ako nakapasok.
25:21.0
Kasi parang
25:22.0
wala pa silang coach.
25:23.0
Sabi nga nila,
25:24.0
sabi nga,
25:25.0
natawa nga ako
25:26.0
sa kwento nila.
25:27.0
Sabi na,
25:28.0
coach,
25:29.0
tulungan mo kami.
25:30.0
Gusto namin magiganti
25:31.0
sa Kazakhstan
25:32.0
kasi binagsak kami
25:33.0
noong Kazakhstan.
25:34.0
Yeah,
25:35.0
sa Asian Championship,
25:36.0
anta?
25:38.0
Tapos na nanalo sila,
25:39.0
tapos doon tuwa sila,
25:40.0
coach,
25:41.0
thank you.
25:42.0
Nakuhala namin
25:43.0
yung revenge namin.
25:44.0
Wala silang coach,
25:45.0
diba,
25:46.0
sa Asian Championship?
25:47.0
Wala talaga.
25:49.0
That's right.
25:50.0
Doon nila,
25:51.0
parang doon nila
25:52.0
na-realize na
25:53.0
parang sabi nila,
25:54.0
kailangan talaga natin
25:55.0
ng coach.
25:56.0
Kaya,
25:57.0
trinay talaga nilang
25:58.0
magganap ng org
25:59.0
para makapag-provide
26:00.0
para sa coach.
26:02.0
Astig, astig.
26:03.0
Doon sa third place,
26:05.0
may ano eh,
26:06.0
alam ko may prize money
26:07.0
din yan eh.
26:09.0
Pag-ISF.
26:11.0
Meron yun,
26:12.0
tsaka second place,
26:13.0
meron yun.
26:14.0
So, proud kami siya,
26:15.0
coach.
26:16.0
Not only that,
26:17.0
but they also announced
26:18.0
where the next
26:19.0
ISF World Championship
26:21.0
is going to be,
26:22.0
which is
26:23.0
Saudi Arabia,
26:24.0
diba?
26:26.0
Oo nga.
26:27.0
Sorry, napaklap ako.
26:28.0
Napaklap ako.
26:29.0
Tutunog yun sa ano,
26:30.0
tutunog yun sa podcast.
26:32.0
Masakit yun.
26:33.0
Pero, oo nga.
26:34.0
So, for sure,
26:35.0
kita natin si Lyric doon.
26:36.0
Tsaka bali-balita ko,
26:37.0
bali-balita ko,
26:38.0
coach.
26:39.0
Ini-scout din kasi
26:40.0
ng MLBB,
26:42.0
yung region niya.
26:44.0
Nga ganong bulong eh.
26:46.0
Yung MENA region niya.
26:47.0
Ini-scout yan eh,
26:48.0
kung
26:49.0
baka pwede tayo dito ha.
26:50.0
Parang
26:51.0
pasok dito.
26:52.0
Tingin mo ba
26:53.0
dudumugin yung ano diyan?
26:54.0
ML?
26:55.0
Kunyari,
26:56.0
magkaroon ng parang
26:57.0
live event yan.
26:58.0
Sabihin natin
26:59.0
M6
27:00.0
or MSC.
27:01.0
Kasi alam mo,
27:02.0
naiso ha.
27:03.0
Pansin ko sa mga
27:04.0
sports event.
27:05.0
Usually, ano lang yan eh.
27:06.0
Kung may connection eh.
27:07.0
Isipin mo ha.
27:08.0
In-announce ng ISF.
27:09.0
Yung ano.
27:10.0
In-announce nila
27:11.0
Saudi Arabia.
27:12.0
Yung mga ibang orgs,
27:13.0
titingin din yan eh.
27:14.0
Uy.
27:15.0
Yung ISF
27:16.0
Saudi Arabia.
27:17.0
Di malabo.
27:18.0
Pati M-series eh.
27:19.0
Tingin mo, coach.
27:20.0
Based sa
27:21.0
dudumugin kaya tayo dyan?
27:23.0
Dudumugin ba ML diyan?
27:26.0
Ah.
27:27.0
Hindi ko
27:28.0
masyadong sure.
27:29.0
Pero,
27:30.0
may mga event talaga
27:31.0
sila dito.
27:32.0
Ang nakakatuwa nga dito,
27:34.0
nagpapa-event sila
27:35.0
tapos
27:36.0
hindi lang siya
27:37.0
para sa mga taga-mena.
27:38.0
Parang
27:39.0
nagiging way din siya
27:40.0
or nagiging
27:41.0
paraan din siya
27:42.0
ng mga
27:43.0
OFW.
27:44.0
Yung mga Pinoy dito
27:45.0
sa ano.
27:46.0
Para magkita-kita.
27:47.0
Yun yung
27:48.0
nakakatuwa
27:49.0
sa
27:50.0
nakakatuwa na nakita ko.
27:51.0
Kasi parang
27:52.0
may napanood dawng video.
27:53.0
At saka,
27:54.0
may nag-invite sa akin na
27:55.0
parang PH community siya
27:56.0
sa
27:57.0
MPL MENA.
27:58.0
Tapos,
27:59.0
para daw gusto kong pumunta
28:00.0
kasi marami daw talaga
28:01.0
Pinoy na mga pumunta.
28:02.0
Si Gamer Z ba yan?
28:04.0
Sino? Sorry, sorry.
28:05.0
They had ano.
28:07.0
I'm not sure if this is
28:08.0
the event you're talking about.
28:09.0
Pero,
28:10.0
during the Asian Championship
28:11.0
kasi
28:12.0
there was a big
28:13.0
event
28:14.0
going on
28:15.0
in the Riyadh Boulevard.
28:17.0
It was Gamers 8.
28:19.0
Gamers 8 siya.
28:20.0
Tapos, anda ming
28:21.0
Pinoy.
28:22.0
Like,
28:23.0
I mean,
28:24.0
even when we were there
28:25.0
casting for the Asian Championship,
28:27.0
half the people we met
28:28.0
were Pinoy.
28:30.0
And they all knew MLBB.
28:31.0
They all watched it.
28:32.0
Pero,
28:33.0
the MLBB
28:35.0
competition
28:36.0
was happening
28:37.0
separate
28:38.0
from Gamers 8.
28:39.0
Pero,
28:40.0
maybe one day,
28:41.0
maybe one day,
28:42.0
they'll
28:43.0
have it all in one place.
28:45.0
Ang daming mga
28:46.0
Pinoy na
28:47.0
binabati ko lahat ng mga
28:49.0
manlararong
28:50.0
Pilipino
28:51.0
abroad,
28:52.0
mga mafia,
28:53.0
manlararong
28:54.0
Pilipino abroad,
28:55.0
ang mga
28:56.0
kababayan natin
28:58.0
na nagpatrabaho
28:59.0
for their families.
29:00.0
And the ML
29:01.0
ang kanilang
29:02.0
way to cope up
29:03.0
sa pagkamis.
29:05.0
And,
29:06.0
ilang oras ba
29:07.0
ang difference nyo,
29:08.0
coach?
29:10.0
Lim.
29:11.0
Lima.
29:12.0
So,
29:13.0
nag-a-adjust ka?
29:14.0
Ikaw, nag-a-adjust?
29:16.0
Yung,
29:17.0
nagaano kami dito,
29:18.0
naglalaro kami
29:19.0
pag regular season,
29:20.0
alas 4
29:21.0
ng umaga,
29:22.0
alas 3,
29:24.0
alas 2.
29:25.0
PH time?
29:26.0
PH time?
29:27.0
Oh, PH time.
29:28.0
Ganun yung umpisa
29:29.0
ng regular season namin.
29:31.0
Oo,
29:32.0
talaga layo.
29:33.0
Oo.
29:34.0
So, you've changed
29:35.0
your lifestyle din?
29:36.0
Kasi,
29:37.0
you have to adjust.
29:38.0
Parang call center yung
29:39.0
parang call center.
29:40.0
Call center.
29:42.0
Ganun pala yun.
29:44.0
Astig, no?
29:46.0
Ilang months ka ng coach,
29:48.0
nag-change na yan lahat.
29:50.0
Based from your experience,
29:53.0
how would you differentiate
29:54.0
MENA
29:55.0
from other MLBB regions?
30:01.0
Differentiate?
30:02.0
Siguro,
30:04.0
kasi yung MENA,
30:05.0
parang,
30:06.0
ang gusto ko dito sa
30:07.0
MPL MENA,
30:08.0
parang,
30:10.0
wala,
30:12.0
willing silang mag-adapt talaga.
30:14.0
Parang,
30:15.0
kung ano yung nakikita nila
30:16.0
sa PH,
30:17.0
kung ano yung nakikita nila
30:18.0
sa Indo,
30:19.0
willing silang mag-give
30:20.0
ng try,
30:21.0
tapos,
30:22.0
pagka-gumana sa atin,
30:23.0
edi ituloy-tuloy natin.
30:24.0
Ganun yung,
30:25.0
siguro may impact din
30:26.0
na may mga Pinoy
30:27.0
na coach,
30:28.0
na player,
30:29.0
kaya,
30:30.0
mabukas yung ganun idea.
30:31.0
Pero,
30:32.0
compare sa
30:33.0
ibang region,
30:34.0
tingin ko,
30:35.0
sobrang
30:37.0
open mag-adapt
30:38.0
nung
30:39.0
MPL MENA.
30:40.0
Kaya siguro,
30:41.0
kahit papano,
30:42.0
nakahabol sila sa meta
30:44.0
pagka mga
30:45.0
international leagues.
30:47.0
Ganun ko siya
30:48.0
nakikita.
30:52.0
Open for adaptability.
30:55.0
And,
30:56.0
na-mention actually
30:57.0
ni Nafiu.
30:58.0
Kayo daw yung nakaka-scrim nila.
31:00.0
Totoo yan.
31:01.0
Totoo yan.
31:03.0
Saudi Arabia daw yung
31:04.0
nakaka-scrim nila.
31:05.0
Did it help you guys?
31:07.0
Sobra.
31:08.0
Sobra.
31:09.0
Actually,
31:10.0
ito yung,
31:12.0
wala pa
31:13.0
yung mga players ko
31:15.0
sa,
31:16.0
dun sa
31:17.0
location nung
31:18.0
ISF.
31:19.0
Yung,
31:20.0
yung player ko si
31:21.0
Sensui,
31:22.0
tapos, si Sensui,
31:23.0
yung jowa niya
31:24.0
si Marga.
31:25.0
Tapos, si Marga,
31:26.0
naging coach niya,
31:27.0
si coach friend.
31:28.0
So,
31:29.0
umpisa pa lang talaga,
31:30.0
piniempo na si Marga.
31:31.0
Sabi ko,
31:32.0
Marga,
31:33.0
pasuyo naman.
31:34.0
Sabi mo kay coach friend,
31:35.0
baka pwedeng kami na lang
31:36.0
i-scrimman nila para
31:37.0
wala nang leak,
31:38.0
siguradong malinis.
31:40.0
Kung kailangan nyo mag-training,
31:41.0
kami na yung mag-a-adjust
31:42.0
sa time.
31:43.0
Kasi, yun talaga.
31:44.0
Sabi ko saan nila,
31:45.0
guys,
31:46.0
itong ISF,
31:47.0
hindi,
31:49.0
dito natin makikita
31:50.0
kung ready pa talaga tayo
31:51.0
o hindi.
31:52.0
Kung hindi pa tayo ready,
31:53.0
kung nanonood kayo
31:54.0
ng anime,
31:55.0
parang i-treat natin to
31:56.0
na parang training
31:57.0
arc natin to.
32:00.0
Pag natalo tayo,
32:01.0
intindihin natin
32:02.0
kung paano tayo natalo.
32:03.0
Intindihin natin
32:04.0
bakit kayo natatalo.
32:05.0
Tapos,
32:06.0
gamitin natin yun
32:07.0
para bumawi tayo
32:08.0
sa MPL nila.
32:09.0
Parang ganun po
32:10.0
talaga siya nakikita.
32:12.0
Kaya,
32:13.0
araw-araw talaga,
32:14.0
araw-araw,
32:15.0
kinipiniempo talaga
32:16.0
si PQ,
32:17.0
baka available kayo.
32:18.0
Kung oras kayo available,
32:19.0
mag-a-adjust kami.
32:21.0
Seryosa talaga,
32:22.0
kasi,
32:23.0
kailangan talaga nilang
32:24.0
maranasan yung hirap,
32:25.0
kung ano yung feeling
32:26.0
talaga ng
32:27.0
tunay na
32:28.0
ng campaign.
32:29.0
Yung,
32:30.0
talagang bagan talaga
32:31.0
para
32:32.0
maraman nila yung
32:33.0
kung gusto ba talaga nila,
32:34.0
kung mauhok ba talaga sila,
32:35.0
kung
32:36.0
magigising ba talaga
32:37.0
yung passion nila
32:38.0
pag gusto ko din
32:39.0
maglaro ng ganito
32:40.0
kalupit.
32:41.0
Yun naman,
32:42.0
sobrang laki ng tulong
32:43.0
kasi yung mga players ko
32:44.0
talaga.
32:45.0
Talagang
32:46.0
puri-puri nila
32:47.0
yung sila,
32:48.0
sila PQ.
32:49.0
Parang,
32:50.0
in-inspire talaga,
32:51.0
na-inspire talaga sila na.
32:52.0
Pag naglalaro,
32:53.0
pag nag-scrim nga kami,
32:54.0
parang sinasabi nila,
32:55.0
I'm channeling
32:56.0
my inner Ogwin,
32:57.0
I'm channeling
32:58.0
my inner
32:59.0
parang,
33:00.0
parang gano'n.
33:01.0
Parang gano'n.
33:02.0
So,
33:03.0
sobrang laki ng tulong
33:04.0
talaga sa,
33:05.0
kung nasa'ng kami ngayon,
33:06.0
laki ng tulong
33:07.0
na naka-scrim namin
33:08.0
halos araw-araw
33:09.0
ata dati
33:10.0
sila,
33:11.0
sila PQ.
33:12.0
That is exactly why
33:13.0
we saw
33:14.0
a night and day difference
33:15.0
from the Asian Championships
33:16.0
to
33:17.0
the actual championships
33:18.0
in Romania.
33:19.0
And,
33:20.0
that's something that
33:21.0
OSX and I
33:22.0
were talking about
33:23.0
on broadcast.
33:24.0
And it makes sense now,
33:25.0
now that we know
33:26.0
behind the scenes
33:27.0
what happened.
33:28.0
And I think,
33:29.0
again,
33:30.0
this is a,
33:31.0
this is real quick,
33:32.0
this is one of the,
33:33.0
when we asked like,
33:34.0
what is the effect
33:35.0
of these coaches
33:36.0
who are Philippine imports
33:37.0
coaching?
33:38.0
That's one right there,
33:39.0
right?
33:40.0
The fact that you have
33:41.0
this network
33:42.0
and this connection
33:43.0
to be able to
33:44.0
let your players
33:45.0
right now
33:46.0
have that opportunity
33:47.0
to scrim against,
33:48.0
you know,
33:49.0
like a team like
33:50.0
Brand at the time,
33:51.0
that's,
33:52.0
that's an amazing impact
33:53.0
to have.
33:54.0
Ngayon nyo lang din
33:56.0
this time.
33:57.0
Walang nalaman.
33:59.0
Oh.
34:00.0
I didn't know.
34:01.0
Kaya pala,
34:02.0
kaya pala nagtataka kayo
34:03.0
ba't biglang lakas,
34:04.0
biglang nagsupay sa ayan.
34:05.0
Kasi ano sa
34:06.0
Asian Championships,
34:07.0
we talked to
34:08.0
Tarsila Tarzan
34:09.0
a little bit
34:10.0
while we were there.
34:11.0
Kasi medyo shy sila,
34:12.0
right?
34:13.0
For the first time,
34:14.0
speaking and everything.
34:15.0
And,
34:16.0
we asked them,
34:17.0
do you guys have a coach?
34:18.0
And,
34:19.0
they're like,
34:20.0
no,
34:21.0
you know,
34:22.0
we don't have a coach.
34:23.0
And a lot of the teams,
34:24.0
in ISF Asian Championships,
34:25.0
and I'm sure many,
34:26.0
many other teams,
34:27.0
don't have coaches.
34:28.0
They don't have analysts.
34:29.0
They just do it themselves,
34:30.0
right?
34:31.0
And then,
34:32.0
we just briefly said,
34:33.0
oh,
34:34.0
if you guys go on from this,
34:35.0
it'll be great if you guys
34:36.0
get a coach someday.
34:37.0
And then,
34:38.0
you know,
34:39.0
so we automatically just assumed
34:40.0
na,
34:41.0
so Romania,
34:42.0
they didn't have a coach still.
34:43.0
Now,
34:44.0
it's all making sense.
34:45.0
Yeah,
34:46.0
it makes sense.
34:47.0
Si Lyric pala yun.
34:48.0
In a way,
34:49.0
natulungan pa sila
34:50.0
ng brand
34:51.0
to get
34:52.0
coaching
34:53.0
to get
34:54.0
to the
34:55.0
to the
34:56.0
placement
34:57.0
na meron sila
34:58.0
ng ISF.
34:59.0
Kaya,
35:00.0
inuulit-uulit ni Phiu yun.
35:01.0
Phiu,
35:02.0
if you're listening,
35:03.0
inuulit-uulit niya,
35:04.0
bago kami mag
35:05.0
scooter,
35:06.0
Scooter Gang.
35:07.0
Scooter Gang.
35:08.0
Sabi niya,
35:09.0
kasi
35:10.0
lagi namin na
35:11.0
nag-scream
35:12.0
yung Saudi Arabia,
35:13.0
lumakas yun eh.
35:14.0
May hulog yan.
35:15.0
Nung,
35:16.0
nung laban nyo
35:17.0
against
35:18.0
Indo,
35:19.0
ang
35:20.0
nirurut
35:21.0
at pinaghahandaan
35:23.0
dahil
35:24.0
nakaka-scream nila kayo.
35:25.0
Kasi,
35:26.0
muntik pa eh.
35:27.0
Diba?
35:28.0
I think,
35:29.0
nag-comeback game yun.
35:30.0
Kung babalikan natin
35:31.0
yung laro nila with,
35:32.0
tama ba ako?
35:33.0
Biggie-
35:34.0
Biggie Tron yung
35:35.0
representative diba,
35:36.0
Naisu,
35:37.0
sinabi?
35:38.0
Yes,
35:39.0
Biggie Tron.
35:40.0
That was a comeback game.
35:41.0
Muntik pa kayong manalo.
35:42.0
After that,
35:43.0
and you got
35:44.0
third place,
35:45.0
how was everything?
35:46.0
How did
35:47.0
it evolve?
35:48.0
Of course,
35:49.0
nandiyan na kayo sa ano,
35:50.0
sa
35:51.0
MPL MENA.
35:52.0
Pero,
35:53.0
yung gitnang part na yun,
35:54.0
like,
35:55.0
paano yung naging process
35:56.0
na sinok in nyo
35:57.0
yung pagkatalo?
35:58.0
But,
35:59.0
in a way,
36:00.0
panalo pa rin.
36:01.0
Paano nangyari yun?
36:02.0
Oo.
36:03.0
Ang kagandahan
36:04.0
dun sa mga bata,
36:05.0
parang
36:06.0
mas nangigil sila
36:07.0
kaysa mas
36:08.0
nalungkot.
36:09.0
Kasi,
36:10.0
unang-una,
36:11.0
parang na-inspired sila
36:12.0
kasi ito yung
36:13.0
first na
36:14.0
world title
36:15.0
ng KSP.
36:16.0
So,
36:17.0
parang,
36:18.0
siyempre,
36:19.0
parang pride mo yun
36:20.0
parang talagang
36:21.0
proud na proud sila dun.
36:22.0
Tapos,
36:23.0
pangalawa,
36:24.0
parang mas nangigil sila.
36:25.0
Parang sabi nila,
36:26.0
Coach,
36:27.0
magpatry pa tayo
36:28.0
na magpatry.
36:29.0
Tapos,
36:30.0
tignan natin sa M5
36:31.0
may oras pa tayo
36:32.0
para mag-training,
36:33.0
itry natin yung best natin.
36:34.0
Parang gano'n.
36:35.0
Nakakatawa nga
36:36.0
kasi nung una,
36:37.0
ako yung
36:38.0
talagang
36:39.0
nagpumipilit sa kanila,
36:40.0
nagpumotivate sila.
36:41.0
Pero,
36:42.0
gano'n siguro talaga
36:43.0
yung pag nakuha mo
36:44.0
na yung hook,
36:45.0
pag nagising na yung
36:46.0
apoy mo,
36:47.0
parang
36:48.0
hindi ka na
36:49.0
parang
36:50.0
magkukusa ka na talaga.
36:51.0
Magigigil ka na talaga
36:52.0
magkukusa ka na
36:53.0
nang gawin yung mga bagay-bagay.
36:54.0
Tapos,
36:55.0
sobrang,
36:56.0
kaya para sa akin,
36:57.0
sobrang laking tulong talaga
36:58.0
nung IESF.
36:59.0
Sabi ko talaga sa kanila,
37:00.0
training art natin to.
37:01.0
Pagka magandik na
37:03.0
labas yan dito,
37:04.0
magtutuloy-tuloy tayo.
37:05.0
Kaya,
37:06.0
yun,
37:07.0
sobrang laking tulong sa akin.
37:08.0
I think also because
37:09.0
if I remember right,
37:10.0
with that,
37:11.0
they were,
37:12.0
in that match
37:13.0
where they got sent
37:14.0
to the lower bracket
37:15.0
to go against Indonesia,
37:16.0
they were,
37:17.0
they were up against Egypt.
37:18.0
Right?
37:19.0
And a lot of people
37:20.0
have already watched,
37:21.0
a lot of people have already watched,
37:22.0
you know,
37:23.0
Sila Maro and Alpha,
37:24.0
all those guys play.
37:25.0
Tapos,
37:26.0
if I remember right,
37:27.0
Saudi Arabia 2-1,
37:28.0
right?
37:29.0
It was a three-game series,
37:30.0
2-1 shot.
37:31.0
And,
37:32.0
you know,
37:33.0
they,
37:34.0
a lot of people were
37:35.0
basically surprised,
37:36.0
right?
37:37.0
Because of just
37:38.0
how it went.
37:39.0
And then,
37:40.0
they went to go face the Philippines
37:41.0
and they had to go face off.
37:42.0
I think it was Indonesia after that.
37:43.0
But,
37:44.0
the point was,
37:45.0
a lot of people were surprised
37:46.0
at that matchup,
37:47.0
that Saudi Arabia matchup.
37:48.0
Because,
37:49.0
like I said,
37:50.0
they haven't heard so much
37:51.0
of Saudi Arabia,
37:52.0
right?
37:53.0
I mean,
37:54.0
the players,
37:55.0
a lot of people already knew
37:56.0
the players from Egypt.
37:57.0
So,
37:58.0
that was already a great,
37:59.0
basically a great story
38:00.0
and hopefully motivation boost
38:01.0
and it sounds like it was
38:02.0
because where you guys are now
38:03.0
currently in MPL MENA,
38:04.0
you know.
38:05.0
So,
38:06.0
moving on,
38:07.0
it's great to have
38:08.0
all that background now,
38:09.0
Coach,
38:10.0
Coach Lyric.
38:11.0
Let's go ahead
38:12.0
and move on though
38:13.0
to the next topic
38:14.0
where we're going to,
38:15.0
we do this every episode.
38:16.0
We ask our guests
38:17.0
to categorize
38:18.0
the teams.
38:19.0
So,
38:20.0
for this instance,
38:21.0
it's MPL MENA,
38:22.0
right?
38:23.0
All the teams involved there.
38:24.0
You're going to categorize them.
38:25.0
Manjean will walk you through
38:26.0
exactly how it's gonna
38:27.0
be broken down as well
38:28.0
for our listeners out there.
38:29.0
So,
38:30.0
Manjean,
38:31.0
take it away.
38:32.0
All right,
38:33.0
Coach.
38:34.0
Since you like this,
38:35.0
even in your analysis,
38:36.0
in your videos,
38:37.0
what we're going to do
38:38.0
is we're going to tier
38:39.0
the teams
38:40.0
in MPL MENA.
38:41.0
So,
38:42.0
we're going to
38:43.0
tier the teams
38:44.0
in MPL MENA
38:45.0
in MPL MENA.
38:46.0
All right?
38:47.0
We have a tier list.
38:48.0
But,
38:49.0
this tier list is different.
38:50.0
This tier list
38:51.0
is just three.
38:52.0
It's not
38:53.0
tier S,
38:54.0
tier A.
38:55.0
It's not like that.
38:56.0
All right?
38:57.0
So,
38:58.0
the first category
38:59.0
is
39:00.0
the
39:01.0
team that
39:02.0
can't join.
39:03.0
These are the teams
39:04.0
that won't be able
39:05.0
to join M5.
39:06.0
All right?
39:07.0
Let's go to M5,
39:08.0
okay?
39:09.0
So,
39:10.0
the team that can't join.
39:11.0
That's for sure.
39:12.0
Stay in Saudi Arabia.
39:13.0
Even if it's a wildcard,
39:14.0
it's not like that.
39:15.0
Second,
39:16.0
these are the teams
39:17.0
that got trafficked.
39:18.0
For those who
39:19.0
have a chance
39:20.0
to join
39:21.0
but are having
39:22.0
a harder time,
39:23.0
those can be
39:24.0
the wildcard
39:25.0
or 50-50.
39:26.0
Like,
39:27.0
if you think
39:28.0
there's a chance,
39:29.0
there's a chance.
39:30.0
And then,
39:31.0
finally,
39:32.0
it's on Expressway.
39:33.0
These are the
39:34.0
sure bulls.
39:35.0
These are them.
39:36.0
They're the ones
39:37.0
going to M5.
39:38.0
They're the ones
39:39.0
going up on stage.
39:40.0
They're the ones
39:41.0
going to the Philippines.
39:42.0
G?
39:43.0
Game.
39:44.0
Let's start with
39:45.0
the team that can't join.
39:49.0
So,
39:50.0
am I the only one
39:51.0
who's going to say
39:52.0
the team that can't join?
39:53.0
Yes, man.
39:58.0
I can't remember
39:59.0
the name of the team.
40:00.0
Then,
40:01.0
I'll say it.
40:02.0
No, no.
40:03.0
I'll react.
40:05.0
It's like,
40:07.0
maybe,
40:08.0
it's like,
40:09.0
wow.
40:10.0
But,
40:11.0
I think,
40:12.0
it's the team
40:13.0
that can't join.
40:14.0
Maybe,
40:15.0
it's the team
40:16.0
that can't join.
40:17.0
Because,
40:18.0
they're already
40:19.0
down.
40:20.0
It's like,
40:21.0
they can't
40:22.0
catch up
40:23.0
to the score.
40:24.0
It's like,
40:25.0
I've talked to
40:26.0
the team that can't join.
40:27.0
It's like,
40:28.0
it's like,
40:29.0
they're really
40:30.0
struggling
40:31.0
to adapt
40:32.0
to the meta.
40:33.0
So,
40:34.0
it's the team
40:35.0
that can't join.
40:36.0
Then,
40:39.0
I think,
40:40.0
it's them
40:41.0
in this part.
40:42.0
Because,
40:43.0
after that,
40:44.0
almost everyone
40:45.0
is already fighting
40:46.0
in the
40:47.0
playoff spot.
40:48.0
Then,
40:49.0
in the second,
40:50.0
in the traffic,
40:51.0
maybe,
40:52.0
Axe,
40:53.0
Twisted,
40:56.0
then,
40:58.0
the,
41:00.0
maybe,
41:01.0
Twisted
41:02.0
and then,
41:03.0
Axe.
41:04.0
Twisted and Axe.
41:05.0
Then,
41:06.0
I think,
41:07.0
there's a big chance
41:09.0
that,
41:10.0
the,
41:11.0
Occupy,
41:12.0
of course,
41:13.0
they're really,
41:14.0
they're the champion
41:15.0
last season.
41:16.0
The Okami,
41:17.0
the Okami is
41:18.0
really interesting.
41:19.0
Because,
41:20.0
they have a PH coach,
41:21.0
Coach Dyla.
41:22.0
Then,
41:23.0
they have two,
41:25.0
they have two
41:26.0
import
41:27.0
PH.
41:28.0
So,
41:29.0
they're really
41:30.0
one of the
41:31.0
enemies
41:32.0
that
41:33.0
we're
41:34.0
really
41:35.0
fighting.
41:36.0
Then,
41:37.0
the Falcons,
41:39.0
I think,
41:40.0
they still have
41:41.0
a chance.
41:42.0
Because,
41:43.0
a big help
41:44.0
for them
41:45.0
is Lotric.
41:48.0
It was only added
41:49.0
to them
41:50.0
last week
41:51.0
or last,
41:52.0
last week.
41:53.0
Then,
41:54.0
the,
41:55.0
the,
41:56.0
the run
41:57.0
was different
41:58.0
when,
41:59.0
their game
42:00.0
was different
42:01.0
when it was added.
42:02.0
I think,
42:03.0
there's a big impact
42:04.0
that you have
42:05.0
an import.
42:06.0
The,
42:07.0
the Gikai,
42:08.0
was in the middle.
42:09.0
I'm not sure
42:10.0
because,
42:11.0
their game
42:12.0
is really shaky.
42:13.0
So,
42:14.0
traffic,
42:15.0
traffic,
42:16.0
the Gikai.
42:17.0
The traffic,
42:18.0
the Gikai.
42:19.0
Okay.
42:20.0
Maybe like that.
42:21.0
But,
42:22.0
I think,
42:23.0
one of the preparations,
42:24.0
the Okami,
42:25.0
because,
42:26.0
Coach Dyla
42:27.0
and I
42:28.0
talked about it.
42:29.0
Their advantage
42:30.0
is really good
42:31.0
because,
42:32.0
they can scrim
42:33.0
with PH teams.
42:34.0
Like,
42:35.0
their scrim
42:36.0
is really good
42:37.0
because,
42:38.0
they're there for you.
42:39.0
So,
42:40.0
it's just a disadvantage
42:41.0
in ping.
42:42.0
But,
42:43.0
I think,
42:44.0
experience-wise,
42:45.0
it's really solid.
42:46.0
It's really solid
42:47.0
that you can scrim
42:48.0
every day.
42:49.0
Then,
42:50.0
they're also full-time.
42:51.0
So,
42:52.0
it's something
42:53.0
to watch out
42:54.0
for them.
42:55.0
Okay.
42:56.0
There's another team.
42:57.0
There's another team.
42:58.0
You didn't say.
42:59.0
The Triple Esports.
43:00.0
So,
43:01.0
we'll try,
43:02.0
we'll try
43:03.0
our best
43:05.0
So,
43:06.0
it's not on the road.
43:07.0
It's not on the road.
43:08.0
It's not on the road.
43:09.0
Okay.
43:11.0
It's not on the expressway.
43:12.0
It's not on the traffic.
43:13.0
They're flying cars.
43:14.0
Yes.
43:15.0
Wow.
43:16.0
Airplane right away.
43:17.0
Airplane right away.
43:18.0
Are you saying that,
43:19.0
Coach Lyric?
43:20.0
You're flying right away?
43:22.0
No.
43:23.0
We'll try.
43:24.0
We'll try.
43:25.0
We'll try.
43:26.0
Because,
43:27.0
the schedule is really hard.
43:28.0
But,
43:29.0
even if the schedule is hard,
43:30.0
I'm really happy
43:31.0
with them.
43:32.0
I see
43:33.0
I really see
43:34.0
their passion.
43:35.0
Even if,
43:36.0
it's not,
43:37.0
it's not just because of the schedule.
43:38.0
But,
43:39.0
the passion is there.
43:40.0
So,
43:41.0
in those three categories,
43:42.0
where will you put
43:43.0
the Triple Esports?
43:45.0
What?
43:46.0
In the...
43:48.0
It's not on the traffic.
43:49.0
But,
43:50.0
it's on the way.
43:51.0
So,
43:52.0
it's on the way.
43:53.0
But,
43:54.0
it's not on the traffic.
43:55.0
It's not on the traffic.
43:56.0
But,
43:57.0
it's on the way.
43:58.0
So,
43:59.0
it's on the expressway.
44:00.0
It's normal.
44:01.0
It's normal.
44:02.0
Okay.
44:03.0
It's not on the expressway.
44:04.0
It's not on the expressway.
44:05.0
Because,
44:06.0
it's not on the traffic.
44:07.0
Okay.
44:08.0
There's a new category.
44:10.0
Okay.
44:11.0
But,
44:12.0
let's say,
44:13.0
I don't know.
44:14.0
Let's say,
44:15.0
based on those categories.
44:16.0
Now that we have the categories,
44:17.0
Coach,
44:18.0
let's just say it is
44:20.0
any of these teams.
44:21.0
Or just,
44:22.0
you know,
44:23.0
the representative of MENA.
44:24.0
Because,
44:25.0
obviously,
44:26.0
we still have to find out
44:27.0
who that is going to be.
44:28.0
But,
44:29.0
let's just say,
44:30.0
they make it to the Philippines,
44:31.0
they are the team representing
44:33.0
MENA.
44:34.0
How do you think
44:35.0
they will do against,
44:37.0
for example,
44:38.0
the Filipino representatives?
44:39.0
Or,
44:40.0
in general,
44:41.0
M5?
44:42.0
How do you think they will fare?
44:43.0
And,
44:44.0
do you think that they need still
44:46.0
a lot of preparation
44:48.0
to be able to compete at
44:50.0
that M5 level?
44:51.0
Like,
44:52.0
how do you think that will be?
44:54.0
If,
44:55.0
I think,
44:56.0
if they can really afford it,
44:58.0
or if they can afford
44:59.0
to stay
45:00.0
one month
45:01.0
before
45:02.0
the playoffs,
45:04.0
so that
45:05.0
they can really train,
45:07.0
it's a huge advantage
45:09.0
no matter who will be
45:11.0
the representative.
45:12.0
But,
45:13.0
if
45:14.0
they go
45:15.0
two weeks
45:16.0
or one week before,
45:17.0
it's like,
45:18.0
I won't be able to see
45:20.0
that
45:21.0
they will be able to win.
45:23.0
Because,
45:24.0
the resources are so limited.
45:25.0
If you're just here at MENA
45:27.0
training,
45:28.0
the resources are so limited.
45:30.0
But,
45:31.0
if they train at PH,
45:33.0
I think they can adapt.
45:34.0
I think there's a bigger
45:36.0
fighting chance.
45:37.0
But,
45:38.0
if they really
45:40.0
don't invest
45:42.0
the resources,
45:43.0
if they just stay at MENA
45:44.0
and fly to the playoffs,
45:46.0
it's a bit
45:47.0
confusing.
45:48.0
Maybe.
45:49.0
You need to,
45:50.0
on the way,
45:51.0
you need to be
45:52.0
in the Philippines
45:53.0
early.
45:54.0
Yes.
45:55.0
So that,
45:56.0
they can really train
45:57.0
and fix
45:58.0
what needs to be fixed.
45:59.0
Because,
46:00.0
France is different.
46:01.0
It's different.
46:02.0
It's different every day.
46:04.0
You know.
46:06.0
Get them here.
46:08.0
You know, Ton.
46:09.0
You know.
46:11.0
Ton,
46:12.0
it's on the way.
46:14.0
It's not the X-Way.
46:15.0
It's not the X-Way
46:16.0
but it's on the way.
46:17.0
Because,
46:18.0
there's a wild card.
46:19.0
There's a wild card.
46:20.0
There's a wild card.
46:21.0
Yes,
46:22.0
there's a wild card.
46:23.0
Coach,
46:24.0
since you think
46:25.0
that's the chance,
46:26.0
that's the wedding chance,
46:27.0
right?
46:28.0
For example,
46:29.0
for example,
46:30.0
you went to the Philippines
46:31.0
early.
46:32.0
It's only November 1
46:33.0
or late October
46:34.0
that you're in the Philippines.
46:36.0
What place
46:37.0
will
46:38.0
MENA Region
46:39.0
finish in M5?
46:41.0
Fearless forecast.
46:43.0
If it's really early,
46:44.0
if it's early,
46:46.0
I think,
46:47.0
after the MNL ACU event,
46:48.0
I think,
46:49.0
we can really adapt.
46:50.0
Maybe,
46:51.0
I think,
46:52.0
we can reach
46:53.0
maybe
46:54.0
the third
46:55.0
third again.
46:57.0
Third.
46:58.0
Top three.
47:00.0
You're realistic.
47:02.0
You're realistic.
47:04.0
No,
47:05.0
because
47:06.0
even if
47:07.0
even if
47:08.0
we train
47:09.0
for a month
47:10.0
or two,
47:11.0
the level
47:12.0
and the experience
47:13.0
of PH
47:14.0
and INDO
47:15.0
is still different.
47:17.0
Because,
47:18.0
they're used to
47:19.0
here in MENA,
47:20.0
they're used to
47:21.0
the quality
47:22.0
the quality
47:24.0
just right.
47:25.0
It's not like
47:26.0
in PH,
47:27.0
when I was still in ONIC,
47:29.0
every day,
47:30.0
every day,
47:31.0
our opponents
47:32.0
are like MPL.
47:34.0
Every day,
47:35.0
you're playing MPL.
47:36.0
They're here
47:37.0
with normal
47:39.0
training
47:40.0
and they're good
47:41.0
at adapting
47:42.0
and that's it.
47:44.0
Yeah,
47:45.0
I think a lot of people are putting,
47:46.0
when we ask them
47:47.0
for the Fearless forecast,
47:48.0
we hear a lot of
47:49.0
top threes,
47:50.0
top fours
47:51.0
because
47:52.0
it's almost
47:53.0
automatic
47:54.0
that one or two
47:55.0
is going to either
47:56.0
be Philippines or INDO.
47:59.0
But of course,
48:00.0
at the same time,
48:01.0
I think a lot of people
48:02.0
have said,
48:03.0
even if they finish top three,
48:04.0
they're proud
48:05.0
for something
48:06.0
like M5.
48:09.0
If that happens
48:10.0
for a team
48:11.0
from MENA,
48:13.0
whoever that is going to be,
48:15.0
that's a huge statement.
48:17.0
That's a huge thing.
48:18.0
Look what happened
48:19.0
when
48:21.0
a team like
48:22.0
from North America,
48:23.0
the old BTK
48:25.0
placed really well.
48:26.0
Did they place third?
48:27.0
I can't remember.
48:28.0
I think it was...
48:29.0
What place was that?
48:30.0
M2?
48:31.0
M4?
48:33.0
No,
48:34.0
M3.
48:35.0
M3, right?
48:36.0
M3.
48:37.0
In M3,
48:38.0
BTK placed third.
48:39.0
Oh,
48:40.0
and look what it did
48:41.0
for the region, right?
48:42.0
So,
48:43.0
who knows what else
48:44.0
if someone,
48:45.0
a team from MENA
48:46.0
is able to get top three.
48:47.0
Who knows if they even get
48:48.0
top two,
48:49.0
that's what can happen, right?
48:50.0
We don't know.
48:51.0
M5 is exciting
48:52.0
because there are a lot of good players.
48:53.0
I think the Filipinos
48:54.0
have a huge impact
48:55.0
in the regions.
48:56.0
Yes, that's true.
48:58.0
Coach,
48:59.0
you're Filipino
49:00.0
and you're used to it
49:01.0
since you're in the Philippines.
49:02.0
Maybe you can be
49:03.0
a representative
49:04.0
of one of your teammates.
49:07.0
One of your coaches.
49:08.0
Give us a player
49:10.0
that you think
49:11.0
is a game
49:12.0
in our challenge.
49:15.0
What game?
49:16.0
We have a player
49:17.0
that we call
49:18.0
Suman Challenge.
49:19.0
There are two challenges.
49:20.0
You just have to choose one.
49:22.0
If you're the one doing it,
49:24.0
it's called
49:25.0
Suman Challenge.
49:27.0
We'll give you
49:28.0
a suman.
49:30.0
Now,
49:31.0
if it's your teammate
49:32.0
doing it,
49:33.0
Coach,
49:34.0
if it's your teammate
49:35.0
doing it,
49:36.0
it's called
49:37.0
the Balut Challenge.
49:39.0
If I were you,
49:40.0
it's just one.
49:41.0
The Balut Challenge.
49:42.0
They'll eat balut?
49:43.0
Yes,
49:44.0
even if it's just one.
49:45.0
Even if it's just one
49:46.0
from your teammates.
49:47.0
Tarzan.
49:48.0
Tarzan, okay.
49:49.0
Tarzan!
49:52.0
The offering has been made.
49:53.0
Tarzan.
49:54.0
Tarzan,
49:55.0
I hope you can understand this,
49:56.0
but
49:58.0
Coach Lyric
49:59.0
has accepted the challenge
50:00.0
for you.
50:02.0
It is called
50:03.0
the Balut Challenge.
50:06.0
If Tarzan doesn't show up,
50:08.0
it's default.
50:09.0
Suman Challenge.
50:10.0
Yes.
50:12.0
So Tarzan,
50:14.0
if ever,
50:15.0
and hopefully
50:16.0
it happens,
50:17.0
of course,
50:18.0
if you go here
50:19.0
in the Philippines
50:20.0
for M5,
50:21.0
you will do
50:22.0
the Balut Challenge.
50:24.0
The end.
50:26.0
The challenge is accepted.
50:29.0
So,
50:30.0
thank you so much,
50:31.0
Coach Lyric.
50:32.0
We're gonna wrap things up here.
50:33.0
It was great to
50:34.0
hear a lot of the story
50:35.0
and how you kind of
50:36.0
ended up
50:37.0
where you are today.
50:38.0
Yes,
50:39.0
you're still in the Philippines,
50:40.0
but you're making an impact
50:41.0
over in the MPL MENA region.
50:43.0
Hopefully,
50:44.0
in the playoffs,
50:45.0
I don't know exactly
50:47.0
how long you'll be there
50:48.0
for playoffs,
50:49.0
but best of luck
50:50.0
