LAST WEEK, the MLBB community was set aflare after it was leaked by an insider from a Malaysian team that Team Liquid Philippines was beaten by Selangor Red Giants in a scrimmage.
This made Liquid Philippines coach express his disappointment through a Facebook post which was now deleted.
Scrimmages is a simulated or a practice game between teams.
The number one unwritten golden rule for scrims: not to reveal results.
It should be held confidential at all times as it is a way for them to test out new strategies that they could use on their upcoming games.
Disclosing outcomes of practice games is considered as a taboo and the highest offense that a team can do to the other team.
There may be unexpected results during scrims like ameteur teams defeating professional teams but these can be used as a room for improvement.
People should also not be that very surprised when powerhouse teams are beaten by other teams as the MLBB scene continues to grow at a rapid rate.
Teams are improving and strategies are formulated for them to achieve their goals which is to win.
What happens to teams who leak scrim results?
Since it was considered as a taboo to leak after game information, the team who broke the pact may be unable or have a hard time on having scrimmages again in the near future.
Falcons AP. Bren coach Francis “Ducky” Glindro who was also an administrator among scrim groups says that they may not practice with the Red Giants anymore.
“I normally would refrain from training with them again as there are no guarantees of confidentiality moving forward,” he told SPIN.Ph
“Since I'm an administrator across all scrim groups, I would kick them out and ban them permanently unless proven otherwise. Trust goes a very long way.”
With Ducky expressing all these, it may be safe to say that the Red Giants will now have a hard time to find a practice partner in the Philippine region.
This could be a major loss for them since the Philippines has been considered as the strongest Mobile Legends region in the world.
Even amateurs yet also random players in ranked games can top professional players.
As the issue goes, will there be any team that will practice with the Selangor Red Giants anymore?
