In North America, Ex-Onic Philippines player Peter Bryce &quot;Basic&quot; Lozano is a step away from securing the M4 world championship slot as his team, The Valley, entered the grand finals of the region&#x27;s qualifier, to be held on October 30 at Las Vegas, Nevada. He will be joining the former core roster of M3 representatives BloodThirstyKings, best known for sending eventual world champions Blacklist International down the lower bracket of the world stage. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, two Pinoy players, two coaches, and one analyst remain in the hunt for a slot at worlds. Wunderkind Kairi &quot;Kairi&quot; Rayosdelsola and coach Paul Denver &quot;Yeb&quot; Miranda are part of MPL Indonesia league frontrunners Onic Esports, while Mark &quot;Markyyyy&quot; Capacio and head coach Vren &quot;Vrendini&quot; Lin are part of playoff-bound Bigetron Alpha.

Dale will be the second Pinoy import coach in M4 after ex-Nexplay EVOS coach John Michael 'Zico' Dizon, whose Burn x Flash ruled MPL Cambodia for their slot into the world championships.
