Panda on S11: ‘I Just Want A Good Season With No Drama’

RSG Slate PH head coach Brian “Panda” Lim said that defending their MSC crown is the least of his concerns as he focuses on getting his new-look roster combat-ready for the upcoming MPL Philippines Season 11 wars.

Panda said that his main focus is to help Dexter “Exort” Martinez and John Paul “H2wo” Salonga ease into their new roles with the departure of Arvie “Aqua” Calderon and Jhonard “Demonkite” Caranto.

“I’m focused on how I can have the perfect five players that I need to have the best chemistry together so that we can have a magandang season together,” Panda said during the Season 11 media day at the GAMA Studios in Makati.

He also said that the team still needs more time to adjust with one another which is he why he isn’t focusing too much on the team’s title-retention bid in the MSC.

“This season our dynamic of course will change because we have two new [starting] players in Exort and H2wo. That doesn’t necessarily make us weak but still need time to adjust so right now I’m not really focused on protecting the crown,” said the MPL PH champion coach.

“Sa totoo lang, it’s the same as Blacklist. For example, Blacklist doesn’t have their original members, the power spike goes down. That’s a definite fact kahit any other teams.”

RSG PH had a successful campaign in the previous year. They won the MPL PH title in Season Nine and claimed the MSC title. However, the team failed to make it to the M4 World Championship but still finished third in Season 10.

“I just want a good season with no drama, no [toxicity], everyone doing their best and with their best effort kesa tsamba. Like oy nag-champion tayo, sige MSC, gusto ko talaga ng magandang story sa chapter na ‘to ng RSG.”
