Hello Vicigers, do you know that there is such a thing as Esports Star Indonesia/ESI, an event or competition for pro player talent, especially MLBB games in Indonesia.
Maybe many of you don't know, because this competition will also only be holding season 2 in 2021.
In 2020, there were 2 pro players who graduated from Esports Star Indonesia who managed to join big esports teams in Indonesia, namely RRQ and BTR.
Oia, ESI is a program that is broadcast on GTV as part of the MNC Group, and you can also watch it online and for free at RCTI+.
According to the information we got, more than 20 thousand gamers have registered for Esports Star Indonesia Season 1. Wow, that's a lot, isn't it?
However, after going through a rigorous selection process, finally ESI Season 1 managed to filter tens of thousands of gamers into 40 selected players who would later compete fiercely and be broadcast on National TV.
2 Pro Players Out of Esports Star Indonesia Season 1
1. JBun – RRQ Sena
JBun aka Jodie Bun is the winner of the MVP title in the ESI Season 1 competition, he is a pro player from West Kalimantan, Vicigers.
Because of this title win, Jbun was finally signed by the RRQ team at the end of 2020, and Jbun was trusted to defend the RRQ Sena team at the MDL ID Season 3 event.
FYI, for you Vicigers, RRQ Sena and RRQ Hoshi are different. If RRQ Hoshi is the main division, then RRQ Sena is the second class or semi pro division.
However, coming out as the MVP at the Esports Star Indonesia Season 1 event and being immediately picked up by RRQ, that was already a good achievement for Jbun.
2. Cardo – BTR Bravo
Cardo also suffered the same fate as Jbun, he was immediately withdrawn by BTR Bravo after ESI Season 1 ended.
Interestingly, even though Cardo did not make it to the grand finals of ESI Season 1 last year, many national esports teams have seen his potential.
So it's not surprising that after Esports Star Indonesia Season 1, this pro player from West Kalimantan was immediately brought in by Bigetron.
Even though when he joined BTR Bravo he ran into a problem, because it turned out that Cardo was still under the management of HFX Esports.
However, it's still a happy ending, because HFX Esports finally happily released Cardo for BTR.
