EVOS Legends confirmed yesterday, August 4, that former ONIC PH Gerald “Dlar” Trinchera is now part of the white tigers for the upcoming Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Indonesia Season 10 (MPL ID Season 10).
According to their official announcement on YouTube, the 22-year-old will play alongside a much-younger roster this season. He will also be replacing Maxhill “Antimage” Leonardo in the EXP lane, who was removed from the roster a week ago.
The announcement confirms previous reports that EVOS Legends have recruited a Filipino import this season. Initially, head coach Bjorn “Zeys” Ong expressed interest in acquiring an MPL PH import in June.
Pro player turned content creator Yurino “Donkey” Putra Angkawidjaja then revealed in his livestream two weeks ago that the organization had signed Dlar.
The veteran EXP laner is the final piece of the puzzle EVOS initially released a roster announcement on August 1 on their YouTube page.
He is also the third Filipino import to play in MPL Indonesia this season after ONIC Esports’ Kairi “Kairi” Rayosdelsol and Bigetron Alpha’s Marky “Markyyyyy” Capacio, Dlar’s former teammates from ONIC PH.
He brings a lot of experience to the team, especially after the departure of veterans Muhammad “Wannn” Ridwan, Ihsan Besari “Luminaire” Kusudana, Gustian “REKT”, and Antimage.
Despite not winning a championship for his entire career under ONIC PH, Dlar was considered one of the strongest and most consistent EXP laners in the league, earning him the nickname “The General.” His best achievement was leading the team to a second-place finish at the M3 World Championship.
After winning MPL ID Season 4 and securing a slot at the M1 World Championship in 2019, EVOS made history after becoming the first team to win an M-series trophy. They won their second MPL ID championship in Season 7. In Season 8 and 9, EVOS finished in third and fourth place respectively.
MPL ID Season 10 will start on August 12. Follow ONE Esports on Facebook for more Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and MPL updates.
