Malaysian esports organization HomeBois was founded by prominent esports figure Nureddy Nursal, known as Daddyhood. HomeBois gained recognition for its strong performances in local and regional MLBB tournaments.
HomeBois brought in young starlet from the Philippines Kenneth “Nets” Barro as its Gold laner and promising Indonesian talent Muhammad Julian “Udil” Ardiansyah as its Mid laner. The lineup also consists of established Malaysian players, namely, Muhammad Irfan “Sepat” bin Aujang (EXP laner), Muhammad Nazhan Mohd “Chibi” Nor (Jungler), Mohammad Zul Hisham “Xorn” bin Mohd Noor (Roamer), and Muhammad Akmal “Mal” bin Rozali (Substitute).
HomeBois will compete in Group C alongside Liquid ECHO, Team Spirit, and Twisted Minds. The team’s first match will be scheduled for 3 July, at 14:00 (GMT+3) against Team Spirit.
“I am really happy and excited to fight in the Group Stage. But the moment I leave the venue today, I will remain focused on my task for the team. We need to set our emotions and focus on another mission,” said Assistant Coach Jeffrey “Jeff” Manforte.
“All of us (in the team) want to be champions. In the last MSC, I did not have the chance to go (to Group Stage). Now that I am here, I want to do better. This time, we are fixing our previous problems by getting some help from our imports, and we are ready to be better,” added Head Coach Khairul Azman “Pabz” bin Mohd Sharif.
