Zeys Presents Potential EVOS Legends Roster for MSC 2021

Zeys recently announced in one of his streams that their core member Luminaire will not be participating in the upcoming MSC 2021. Trying to fill the gap left by Luminaire, Zeys presented two potential options for their lineup.

• Gustian “Rekt” - Roamer
• Fahmi “Rexxy” Adam Alamsyah - Mid Lane
• Perdyansyah “Ferxic” Kamaruddin - Jungler
• Maxhill “Antimage” Leonardo - EXP Lane
• Hafizhan “Clover” Hidayatullah Mirzaputra - Gold Lane

Zeys stated that Rexxy, who hasn’t played with the team in a while, will be one of the team’s weaknesses. The coach also added that Mid Laner might not be the optimal role for Rexxy.

In the second option;

• Joshua “LJ” Darmansyah - Roamer
• Gustian “Rekt” - Mid Lane
• Perdyansyah “Ferxic” Kamaruddin - Jungler
• Maxhill “Antimage” Leonardo - EXP Lane
• Hafizhan “Clover” Hidayatullah Mirzaputra - Gold Lane

Zeys stated that this lineup is pretty solid, However, this lineup doesn’t have a great hero pool.
