Minana EVOS made a shocking move by pulling veteran Jeniel “YellyHaze” Bata-anon out of their roster and interesting him to the team’s coaching staff.
YellyHaze, who has played all 11 seasons of the MPL, said during the MPL PH media day that he has already embraced his new role despite having second thoughts initially.
“Ang kailangan is mag-step up ako para sa team… Binigyan naman ako ng choice, tapos choice ko rin naman ito. I-e-enjoy ko ‘yung pagiging analyst. Na-excite ako sa Season 12,” the former MPL PH champion told members of the press.
But if given the chance, the 27-year-old mid laner bared that he still wants to play in the MPL PH.

YellyHaze said that he still wants to fulfill his dream of winning a Mobile Legends: Bang Bang world championship.
“Siyempre ‘yung paglalaro [nakaka-miss] tapos ‘yung mga every week na training, ganon. Pero ano naman ‘di ko pinababayaan ang mechanics. Mayroon kasi sinasabi na ‘pag huminto ka ‘di ka makakabalik. Kaya hindi ko hinahayaan sarili ko na mawala ang passion sa paglalaro,” Yellyhaze said.
The team formerly known as Nexplay EVOS, now called Minana EVOS, consists of Christian “GoyongAR” Martinez, Bien Salvador “BoyetAR” Chumacera Borris, James “BruskoAR” Parro, and Jan Dominic “DomengAR” Del Mundo.
Completing the team are Lance Aron “LansuAR” Misa, Brian Miles “Spider-MilezAR” Santos, Lance Walter “LanceCyAR” Cunanan, Jhon Marl “Lord JMAR” Sebastian, Ken Louie “KzenAR” Pile, and Oscar “SumpakAR” Romero.
