Iba yung effort na binigay namin ngayon. Sobrang dami naming sacrifices ng bawat isa,&quot; the 2019 SEA Games gold medalist shared. </p><p>The White Tigers missed the playoffs since Minana EVOS was still under the Nexplay banner, last appearing in the final 6 during MPL Season 9.

As a wakeup call from the last four seasons, the new management often had to lash out at their players and even coaches. </p><p>As a longstanding veteran, YellyHaze tried to uplift his teammates in the Land of Dawn and empower them. Such was the case when he gave way to Perkz as the team&#x27;s main shotcaller.</p><p>&quot;Dati, maingay ako sa team. Mahilig ako magsalita nang salita. Pero nadagdagan kami ng Perkz na nagsasalita. Parang naisip ko na tapos na ko sa ganoon, parang ang kailangan palakasin kung saan malakas ang players. And nakita ko na si Perkz malakas mag [shotcall] kaya hinahayaan ko siya na gawin yung calls,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Iba ang routine naming ngayong season. Iba ang pukpukang ginawa. Yung preparation isa yun sa mga ginagawa. Kailangan double effort kami mas marami preparations compared to the previous season,&quot; YellyHaze shared.</p><p>Minana EVOS is one of 6 teams qualified for the MPL Season 13 playoffs, to be held at SM Southmall from May 22 to26.</p>
