One well-deserved breather later and Owgwen and Team Falcons are recharged for MPL PH S15.
As the M5 world champions are ramping up for the season, Team Falcons Owgwen for the chance to refresh themselves before MPL PH S15. For some, a fourth-month hiatus might be too long of a time to be inactive. Not so for Rowgien “Owgwen” Unigo, who felt that the team sorely needed the vacation.
“Kailangan talaga ng team yung break na yun. Kasi feel namin na parang dun sa MLBB lang nakakapit lahat ng oras namin,” said Team Falcons Owgwen.
“Di rin namin nakita ano yung nasa labas ng MLBB. Nung natapos yung season, meron na ring kaming nabigay na oras sa mga pamilya namin. Especially para sa akin kasi meron akong anak.”
Taking the chance to relax is always important but there’s always a worry for those in hyper-competitive professions. Taking too long a break might mean you could lose your edge. But for Team Falcons Owgwen, he thinks they actually regained it.
“Pagbalik namin nung ESL Snapdragon, feel namin na parang baguhan kami. Especially since international yun, na-feel namin yung pagbalik ng pagiging excited maglaro.”
Now that Team Falcons are back to their championship contender form, the question now becomes how do they maintain it? The team did an admirable job last year, maintaining a level of dominance for most of 2024. However, the burnout eventually did catch up to them and the same could happen again if the team’s not careful
“Para sa akin, kailangan talaga ng one or two week break,” said Team Falcons Owgwen. “Pero kung hindi kaya yun, kailangan mo talaga i-endure yung time na nagra-grind ka. Lakasan mo lang yung loob mo tapos tulangan mo yung teammates mo kasi kayo din lang talaga yung magtutulungan.”
