Team Vitality continues to dominate the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup as part of the Esports World Cup 2026. The team's Gold Laner, Eman "EMANN" Sangco, shared his thoughts on representing the French-Indonesian organization on the international stage.
Despite changing regions, the former RSG Philippines player emphasizes that he maintains his national identity. In an interview, EMANN stressed that he does not consider himself a representative of Indonesia: "I would like to believe I'm only representing the team. I'm still a Filipino."
Historically, EMANN made a name for himself with RSG PH, winning the MPL PH Season 9 championship and MSC 2022. After the team's results began to decline, the player moved to Bigetron Alpha. This roster was later acquired by Team Vitality, and it was under this new tag that the squad secured their first regional trophy at MPL ID Season 17, which earned them a ticket to MSC 2026.
At the tournament itself, Team Vitality's men's roster has been demonstrating flawless play, finishing the group stage with clean sweeps. The squad confidently defeated True Rippers and the former world champions, Team Falcons PH. These results complement the organization's overall success at EWC 2026, as the Team Vitality women's roster recently won their second international title.
Joining such a renowned club has brought the player not only motivation but also a high level of responsibility. EMANN admitted that he feels some pressure since this is the team's debut at MSC. However, he expressed deep gratitude to the fans for their support and stated his firm intention to reach the finals.
For the Knockout Stage, Team Vitality independently chose their opponent for the first round, deciding to have a rematch against the only remaining Philippine representative in the tournament — Team Falcons PH. The next game will show whether the Indonesian squad can repeat their success from the group stage or if the Philippine team will change the course of events.
