Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno is set to return to the MSC 2025 stage at the Esports World Cup, once again chasing the title that has long eluded his decorated career.
Greatness did not come easy for KarlTzy; he faced vulnerable moments, and the thought of stepping away from his professional career crossed his mind.
“Sobrang daming times po. Simula nung nag-start ako sa career ko, kahit Season 3 pa lang. Kapag natatalo, ayoko na. Kasi mas madali mag-stream na lang ako ganun,” he revealed in an exclusive interview with SPIN.ph.
But what makes him stay motivated to reach greater heights in his career?
“Pinanghahawakan ko na lang na maraming gustong mapunta dito sa spot ko tapos sinasayang ko lang. Mas lalo akong nagkakaroon ng motivation,” KarlTzy said, refusing to take his career as a professional MLBB player for granted.
KarlTzy also found unwavering support from his loved ones, especially from his real life “babycakes” through thick and thin.
“Shoutout sa girlfriend ko na laging akong chini-cheer up,” he added.

They say failure only happens when you quit, and KarlTzy continues to show that champions aren't defined by losses but by their courage to keep on trying.
KarlTzy and Liquid ECHO (now Team Liquid PH) achieved a respectable 3rd-4th place finish after bowing out, 3-1, to Falcons AP.Bren (now Team Falcons) in the semifinals match in the previous MSC edition. Giving it another try, what does he expect to be different this time around?
“Sobrang confident ako sa team ko ngayon eh. Hindi ko naman minamaliit yung ibang teams. I feel confident lang talaga kasi nung last MSC talaga hindi talaga ako confident nun eh kasi masyado kaming na-stuck sa utility meta nun. Tingin ko ngayon kahit anong meta makaka-adjust agad kami so very confident,” KarlTzy explained.
