3 Main Components That a Player Must Have According to BTR Theonael

Theonael, who was appointed to replace Khezcute as the head coach of Bigetron Alpha in MPL ID S14, has successfully brought the Robot Merah team to the top 3 positions in the standings.

He was even able to defeat RRQ Hoshi , who is known to be one of the strongest candidates to win MPL ID S14 besides BTR Alpha.

Although there were no changes to the roster, there was only one additional name, Super Luke, who Theonael recruited for the EXP Laner position to replace Xorizo ​​who moved to Dewa United.

To determine the composition of the roster, of course there are several factors that according to Theonael must be considered carefully. What are they?

3 Main Components of Players According to BTR Coach Theonael

In the press conference session after the match against Rebellion Esports (08/30/2024), BTR Alpha's head coach, Coach Theonael revealed 3 main components that he thinks must be present in a player, and are one of the factors in his decision to play the player.

The 3 components are macro and micro gameplay owned by a player, mentality, and experience. According to Theonael, all three must be owned by professional players, in order to be able to play well.

However, he said that, primarily, the first thing that must be possessed is mental. Because, without a strong mentality, he cannot perform optimally.

Because, as we know, playing on a stage like MPL ID, then the mentality speaks volumes. Because, not only the enemy team, but a player also faces directly with the supporters of the opposing team.

No matter how good the skill is, without a strong mentality, he will be affected by the atmosphere of the very noisy audience. Especially if he is facing a big match.

Theonael also revealed that in his team, there are no players who meet the three criteria. However, as a coach, he said that he will try to bring about things that are needed.

"In my team, there are no players who are that perfect, and I want to shape them in a better direction. Even in BTR itself, there are no sub and core players, so we want the six players we have to have those criteria.

Honestly, the main thing is the mentality that speaks. Usually if a player's macro micro is good, but his mentality is not strong, a little bit of cheering from the audience will make him shrink. So first is mentality, second is definitely macro micro gameplay, third is experience, " said Theonael.

Thorough preparation, and a good recruitment process, will certainly lead a team towards a better direction gradually. What Theonael is trying to implement, can be ascertained to want to achieve the championship title that BTR Alpha has not been able to achieve so far.
