Donut hailed Finals MVP as Burn X Flash cruises to back-to-back MPL Cambodia crowns

Import Mariusz Villamero "DONUT" Tan proved FIlipinos can shine anywhere as he steered Burn X Flash to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League - Cambodia (MPL KH) Spring Split 2023 crown to emerge as the first back-to-back champions in the country.

Burn X Flash dominated top-seed CFU Gaming, 4-1, in their best-of-seven Grand Finals showdown at the AEON Mall 2 in Phnom Penh.

The 20-year-old DONUT, who previously suited up for Nexplay EVOS in MPL Philippines, was hailed the Finals MVP as Burn X Flash will take home the lion's share of USD 40,000 prize.

Burn X Flash also reigned supreme in MPL KH Autumn Split 2022 behind Filipino coach John Michael "Zico" Dizon.

With the victory, Burn X Flash will represent Cambodia in the upcoming MSC 2023 to be held also in Phnom Penh in June.

DONUT also emerged as the fourth Filipino in MSC, joining Kairi "Kairi" Rayosdelsol and coach Denver "Yeb" Miranda of Indonesia's Onic Esports as well as Gerald "Dlar" Trinchera of Evos Legends.
