Finally making a comeback as a professional MLBB player with his recent signing with Malaysian champions Team Haq, Robert “Hito” Candoy revealed to the press on Saturday that former teammates Patrick “E2MAX” Caidic and Duane “Kelra” Pillas both turned emotional when he told them about his impending transfer to Malaysia.
“Ang unang nakaalam na may nag-offer sakin from another country is si E2max. Nung nalaman niya after three days na igogo ko na yung opportunity, umiyak siya. Umiyak talaga si E2max,” shared Robert “Hito” Candoy who just came back to the Philippines after a two-week stay in Malaysia to process his documents for the MPL Malaysia Season 11 slated to open on March 10.
“Kami talaga kasi yung pinakamag-bestfriend sa Omega. Magkasama kami sa hirap at ginhawa. Apat na taon na kami magkasama since Execration hanggang napunta kami ng Omega”
Long-time teammate Kelra was also one of those who shed tears when the news broke out.
“Si Kelra din naluha. Kasi si Kelra kasama ko yan since amateur pa lang siya eh. Hindi pa siya kilala.”
It was a big step and a huge decision for Hito given his rich history with the team and the mystery of the possible struggles of playing on foreign soil.
What firmed his resolve in moving overseas was getting the support of his coaches from Smart Omega.
“Tinanong ko sila Coach Pakbet, sila Coach E2max, Coach Tony na kung igagrab ko ba. Kung ito na ba yuung itatry ko na na maglaro. Tapos ang sabi naman nila sakin, go grab ko na. Ayun, nakapunta na ko ng Malaysia.”
