In thepost-game interview, Midnight had a lot of positive praises about the organization that just entered MPL PH Season 8 with an entirely new lineup.
“I hope they don’t re-roster (next season). I mean they banned good heroes and have a slight statistical advantage,” he said.
“I feel that they will be a lot stronger next season,” said Midnight. “They have a fresh lineup, unlike Nexplay EVOS who has been together a lot longer.”
