SRG ready to sacrifice holidays for MLBB world title chase
KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor Red Giants (SRG) coach Michael Angelo Bocado wants his team to recapture the glory of their historic 2024 international triumph as they pursue an elusive world title.
Selangor Red Giants coach Michael Angelo Bocado is determined to recapture the grandeur of their 2024 international win while chasing a coveted world title. After securing a sixth consecutive Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Malaysia (MPL MY) championship on Sunday, Bocado is setting his sights on elevating the team's status on the global stage.
Their performance at the Mid Season Cup x Esports World Cup in July brought a disappointing ninth to 12th place finish, following their worst international result since 2022. In a post-match interview, Bocado emphasized their commitment to achieving their 2024 triumph again, expressing their willingness to go all out for glory and pride.
The coach, speaking after a hard-fought 4-3 win over Team Rey in the Season 18 Grand Final, highlighted their next goal of breaking through to the semi-finals at the M-Series World Championship. Bocado has been in a similar situation three times before, guiding Indonesia's RRQ Hoshi to third place at M4 in 2023. He was confident about Malaysia's chances in the M8 World Championship in Istanbul next January, believing they have two strong representatives who will represent the country.
