Andrew “Andoryuuu” Flora had a brief stint in MPL Philippines Season 12, where he was replaced by Ron Matthew “Matt” Papag of Omega Neos in the MDL, ultimately winning the best rookie award.
Finally returning to the MPL stage with a team aiming to salvage their slim playoff hopes, Andoryuuu is ready to be the beacon for the fallen.
“Yung motivation ko ngayon nasa tao eh, isa na si Ch4knu, yung mga former teammate ko sa MDL.
“Silang mga kasama kong mag-struggle last season. Gusto ko ipakita sa kanila kung paano ako babangon gamit ang sarili kong paa. Last time kasi inaantay lang akong ibangon ng mga kakampi ko kaya andami kong kulang,” he said.
Star roamer Joshua “Ch4knu” Mangilog is currently with the Omega Neos, having last played in MPL Philippines Season 12.
“Yung line-up kasi namin sa MDL parang redeem team yun eh. Lahat kami may gustong patunayan,” Andoryuu continued.
He admits to feeling sad about leaving his MDL team but is excited to help Omega secure their playoff spots this season.
“Feel namin makakatulong talaga kami ni U K I R sa team para makapasok ng playoffs,” he said.
He is eager to respond to Coach Ronel “Stronger” Tan’s call for help to make a deep run this season.
“Nag 1-on-1 coaching kami ni Coach Stronger. Sabi ko sa kanya that time, nagsastruggle na naman ako. Parang bumabalik yung sakit ko last season na nawawala yung gigil ko, ganun. Tapos sinabihan niya ko na kung natulungan niya ako na magpalakas last season, siya naman daw tulungan ko ngayong season,” revealed Andoryuuu.
“Gusto ko lang magkaron ng consistent performance. Papakita ko sa ibang junglers sa MPL na kasing laro lang nila ako. Kumbaga kung ano yung ginagawa nila, kung asan yung level ng laro nila, kaya ko rin umakyat dun.”
