On Saturday, David “FlapTzy” Canon became the newest inductee into MPL Philippines’ Hall of Legends, a collection of personalities who have made legendary contributions to the history of the league.
But more than celebrating this massive achievement, FlapTzy wants to be the epitome of someone who turned his dreams into reality.
“Gusto ko lang mangyari is maraming mainspire sa ginagawa ko para lalo pang lumaki yung MLBB community. Hindi naman magbabago yung attitude ko. Ako pa rin si FlapTzy, palaging masaya,” FlapTzy told Tiebreaker Times in an exclusive interview.
“Gusto ko na lang talaga sabihin sa batang ako na mangarap ka lang. Kasi lahat ng pinangarap ko simula nung bata pa ko na sasabitan ako sa stage, nagkakatotoo eh. Kumbaga namamanifest ko. Kaya gusto kong pagbutihan pa lalo para mas dumami yung achievements ko.”
On the eve of the Alamat Awards ceremony, the 19-year-old explaner had no idea he was receiving one of the highest awards in the league.

“Sobrang gulat ko po talaga. Nagulat ako dun sa booth. Kala ko sa best exp ako kaso dalawa kami ni Nathzz yung andun. Nagtataka ako,” recalled FlapTzy.
“Tapos nung nakatabi ko si Hatred at si Dlar, sabi nila Hall of Legends daw si Kairi tapos sila yung magproxy. Kala ko nga dalawa kami ni Nathzz yung best exp tapos nagulat ako Hall of Legends tapos may video pa.”
He showed genuine reactions on stage as he was teary-eyed, looking at the video messages from the people closest to him, congratulating him on his newest milestone.
FlapTzy is a two-time M-series world champion along with the M5 World Championship MVP. He also won the MPL PH Season 12 Regular Season MVP award.
“Yung mommy ko po yung una kong kinausap after makuha yung award. Sobrang proud nila sakin tapos parang nakakaiyak pero di ako naiyak kasi inisip ko yung laban agad namin sa RSG,” revealed FlapTzy.
“Sobrang saya nila kasi matagal na nila akong sinusuportahan. Tapos alam naman nila na ever since bata pa ko, pangarap ko talaga na magchampion kami tapos may mga ganito akong award. Pinagmamalaki nila ako.”
