NAVI "Smashes the Egg," First Win in MPL ID S16 Boosts Team Mentality

NAVI finally secured their first win in MPL Indonesia Season 16 against Bigetron Alpha on Week 1 Day 3. This result marked a significant milestone for the team, which had endured a winless season the previous season.

The Important Role of Filipino Players
In an interview with Esports ID , Karss revealed that the team's difficult experience last season actually served as a valuable learning experience. He also added that the presence of two Filipino players, Andoryuuu and UK1R , helped boost team morale and chemistry .

"Maybe our mentality is more stable because we have experienced a really bitter season. We are also more confident in this scene because the vibes are better, and we are more unified because the help of 2 PH players is quite helpful for us," explained Karss .

Although the two players didn't play in the match against BTR , their presence is said to have had a positive impact on team morale. In that match, NAVI fielded a full Indonesian lineup consisting of Xyve , Karss , woshipaul , Aphro , and xMagic . They defeated BTR to close out the opening week on a high.

Increases Confidence and Chances of Surprises
This "breaking the egg" momentum is expected to be a significant morale boost for NAVI , encouraging them to perform more consistently in the coming weeks. With a more stable mentality and growing synergy, NAVI has the potential to make a splash this season. This victory also demonstrates that the team's hard work during the off-season has paid off.

NAVI's players now have more confidence to face strong opponents in MPL ID Season 16. They are ready to prove themselves as a team not to be underestimated.
