Geek Fam rebrands to Geek Slate for the upcoming MPL ID Season 11
In a press release shared with ONE Esports, Yeo said that the league has a special place in his heart.
“MPL Indonesia is the first place where I achieved great success, winning theM1 World Championshipin 2019,” he wrote. “I can’t wait to return to MPL ID and bring Geek Slate to glory,”
Yeo will try and turn things around for the squad, which has yet to reach the MPL playoffs since entering the league in Season 4.
Last season, the Indonesian organization made strides in its lineup with the acquisition of Filipino importsAllen “Baloyskie” Baloy and Jaymark “Janaaqt” Lazaro.
The team has improved since then, finishing second at theONE Esports MPL Invitational 2022and Top Clans 2022 Winter Invitational late last year.
