Filipino team Omega Esports are aiming to become champions at the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) M2 World Championship, just like the rest of the 12 teams competing in the tournament.

But according to team coach Anthony Dennis “Otit” Senedrin, they have one other goal in mind: defeating Indonesian team Alter Ego, the team many are favouring to win M2.

“This is a chance for us to show that we can compete with the best of the best in Mobile Legends. We want to challenge Alter Ego for the crown of being the best,” Otit said in an interview with Yahoo Esports SEA.

Should that matchup with Alter Ego end up happening, Otit believes Omega Esports are more than ready to rise up to the challenge. On a 1 to 10 scale, the coach rated his team’s current form as somewhere between 8 to 9, and he expects them to rise to their full potential as they progress through the tournament.

“We consider ourselves a strong team already, though we think there is still a lot of room for improvement and this experience on an international stage would really be a huge boost for us,” Otit said.

Of course, Omega Esports are not the only team in M2 gunning to take down Alter Ego. But the Philippine representatives in the tournament, Omega Esports and their rivals Bren Esports, have more reasons to take down Alter Ego.

Many consider the Philippines to be the strongest country in Mobile Legends, thanks to the success of squads like Omega Esports and Bren Esports. However, that prestige took a huge hit during the ONE Esports MPLI at the end of last year.

Despite the fact that there were six Filipino teams in the ONE Esports MPLI, only one, Bren Esports, made it to the top four — and that was mainly because they were directly seeded to the semifinals as the champions of MPL PH.

All other Filipino squads fell in the prior rounds, with Omega Esports notably falling to Indonesian team Genflix Aerowolf in a huge upset in the first round.

In the end, Alter Ego swept Bren Esports, 3-0 in the grand finals to claim the championship at the ONE Esports MPLI. With that, Indonesia claimed the right to be called the strongest country in Mobile Legends away from the Philippines, something which both Omega Esports and Bren Esports have the chance to reclaim for their homeland at M2.
