    A NEW WAVE of Filipinos will be taking their talents to Indonesia as two renowned players from the MPL-PH and a notable MPL reserve and former Dota 2 talent will be heading overseas.

    In their latest Instagram post, MDL ID's Pendekar Esports bared it has acquired MPL Hall of Legends inductee Christian "Rafflesia" Fajura, former ECHO PH EXP laner Frediemar "3MarTzy" Serafico, and former reserve player Kenneth "Flysolo" Coloma.

    Both Rafflesia and 3MarTzy had successful professional careers with the former being a two-time MPL PH champion, while the latter made waves from his debut in Season 7 and even in his first season with ECHO PH.

    Flysolo on the other hand, may not have the most colorful careers given his time as a reserve player but his new role for in MLBB might shed some light on where he is headed.

    Pendekar announced that the former Dota 2 Pinoy icon will be serving as the team's head coach.

    While these three would try their best to revitalize Pendekar, who are new to the MDL scene, this wouldn't be the first time that Filipinos would grace the scene as former Onic PH player Gerald "Dlar" Trinchera once played for EVOS Icon back in Season 6. Prior to his demotion, he played for EVOS Legends in MPL Indonesia.

    How will Pendekar benefit?

    Being one of the newest teams in the MDL, Pendekar might experience a sudden resurgence given their talent.

    Throughout his career, Rafflesia has been renowned for his clutch setups and meta-defining antics as seen with his feeding Diggie strats.

    However, one should note that Rafflesia hasn't seen prolonged competitive play, which last happened in Season 8.

    But besides his playstyle, Rafflesia could serve as the team's morale booster given his antics outside of the game. His "Mang Kepweng" persona became a highlight during his ECHO career.

    Meanwhile, 3MarTzy is renowned for being an explosive EXP option which has been his playstyle since his debut.

    Then Flysolo's experience in the Philippine setting could be an asset for the team as they could integrate some techniques from the region, though he would be heavily tested as this would be his first coaching stint in MLBB.

    While these three could potentially deliver the results for Pendekar, one should be wary of the usual language barrier issues, which was something that Dlar encountered in EVOS.
