Despite the Falcons being the same unit for many seasons, Hadji has fit in with the group almost seamlessly.
It’s a promising start for MPL PH Season 17 for Team Falcons and their new Mid Laner Salic “Hadji” Imam, even though they’re sitting in the middle of the pack.
Many remember their disastrous Season 16 and were worried it would happen again, especially after losing Angelo “Pheww” Arcangel. This Team Falcons roster has stuck together even before they won the M5 World Championship back in 2023. Losing both their Mid Laner and team captain has been the biggest shakeup to the Falcons lineup but fortunately, Hadji was quick to step up when he’s needed.
“Tapos na ako sa phase ng paga-adjust,” said Team Falcons’ Hadji to The GAME. “Comfortable na ako sa team. Wala naman silang nilagay na pressure sa akin. Basta mailabas ko yung laro ko at iniisip ko paano makatulong sa team, hindi ako napre-pressure.”
That’s good to hear, when you consider Hadji’s personality. He’s always been rather quiet and chill, which is at odds with Team Falcons’ usual playful energy.
“Minsan, nakikisabay ako sa kanila para sa bonding pero pag sobra na, kailangan ko na mag-adjust. Pag sobrang maingay na, medyo nakakainis na,” said Team Falcons’ Hadji with a laugh.
But while Hadji’s getting along well with the team, he knows that Team Falcons are ultimately looking for a strong comeback this season. What’s funny is that Hadji feels that the team might be running a little too smoothly right now.
“Feeling ko kailangan pa namin matalo para makita namin ano yung mga problema sa team. Doon ko lang malalaman ano pa kailangan ko gawin para sa team. Tapos hindi naman masyado mabigat yung vibes pag natatalo kami.”
That’s certainly a good sign for Team Falcons moving forward. It’ll be exciting to see how they develop throughout the season.
