For fans Mobile Legends: Bang Bang who took part in the match M3 World Championships, you must be very familiar with MobaZane, the roster of the BloodThirstyKing (BTK) team. Yep, this team from the 'western world' region was in the spotlight on the world stage at that time.
Since MLBB regularly holds competitive MOBA competitions on the world stage, various talented players from many corners emerge. Of course holding tournaments like this is also an effective promotion step.
One of the minor regions that has also received quite a lot of attention is the North America Challenger Tournament (NACT) Spring region. This region competes professional teams MLBB in the northern hemisphere of the American continent, namely the United States and Canada.
And of course, the big team that dominates the region is BTK. This is proven by his success in winning NACT Spring 2023 and getting tickets to compete directly in MSC 2023.
The funny thing is, even though the MobaZane squad was confirmed to win, they couldn't appear on the D-day of the event which took place in Cambodia yesterday. So what's the matter? So, for those who are curious, let's take a look at the coverage below!

NACT Spring 2023 Chronology
In NACT Spring this season, there are 7 teams fighting for the season champion title. Unlike the regions of Indonesia and the Philippines, which each have two MSC team representative slots (winner and runner-up), NACT only has 1 slot: it is only given to the season's winner.
From this event which lasted for approximately two months (March-May 2023), there were two teams that finally competed in the Grand Final round, namely BTK and OutPlay (OP).
Compared to the OP team, more parties favor BTK. This is of course based on a comparison of the abilities and experience that both of them have. And sure enough, BTK was able to emerge as the champion of NACT that season.
Even so, unexpectedly, OP was actually able to provide quite a fierce resistance. The match, which was carried out using the best of 7 (BO7) system, was able to be pushed by the 'dark horse' team to its last ration.
But finally OP still had to admit the strength of the opposing team, with a final score of 4-3 for BTK. The 'bloodthirsty king' team will automatically pocket the MSC 2023 ticket. Uniquely, instead of the BTK team leaving, the ticket to Cambodia was instead given to the OP team as the runner-up!
Well, how can that be? Yep, many people also ask the same thing. And it is on that basis that the 'drama' of NACT Spring 2023 begins.

NACT Spring 2023
MobaZane and his team showed their skills in the NACT Spring 2023 Grand Final. They managed to win the tournament.
Not to mention that most of the BTK roster led by MobaZane is relatively new.
MobaZane and his team also got MSC 2023 tickets. However, the tickets actually belonged to another team.
MobaZane and BTK vs North America Continent MLBB Community
Of course, these are all accusations that NACT officials and others feel are untrue Moonton as organizer MSC 2023.
They clarified that the decision to transfer the MSC ticket was based on BTK's condition which made it impossible to play on the international stage.
Several BTK players had administrative problems traveling to the Southeast Asian region, and some of their rosters were underage and did not get permission from their legal guardians (parents).
Because this problem has not been resolved, while MSC 2023 will be held soon, NACT 2023 and Moonton have transferred BTK's participation to the runner-up team.
Indeed, at first MobaZane, which was carried away by emotions, continued to voice its disapproval of this decision by actively throwing accusations at various parties. But in the end, he was able to show a spirit of sportsmanship and contributed to the final result.
Maybe it's not the time for MobaZane and BTK to compete in the international arena. Let's wait for their progress in the M5 world match next year!
