BREN Esports

Bren Esports (stylized as BREN) is an e-Sports team hailing from the Philippines known internationally as the MSC 2018 Champion and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M2 World Champion.

## Tournaments

### Season 1

Bren Esports is founded by Akosi Dogie as Aether Main, they're the strongest team in the league and became the first ever champion of MPL-PH.

### MSC 2018

Bren later participated in the MSC 2018 and also became its champion, beating RRQ.O2 and EVOS Esports ID. They also defeated Aerowolf Roxy, the champion of MPL-ID S1. During MSC, Bren acquired the roster although the name still remains as Aether Main until MSC is over.

### Season 2

Although Bren offered Akosi Dogie the position of coach, Dogie refused it and formed another team, named Aether Main. Like Season 1, Bren was a crowd favourite and destroyed all the teams, finishing on the number 1 spot. However, they were defeated by their nemesis Cignal Ultra, the score being 3-1.

### Season 3

Bren still tried hard to claim the throne once again, beating once again their nemesis Cignal Ultra in the Lower Bracket Finals. However, they failed once again to claim the throne as they're defeated by Arkangel, score being 3-2.

### MSC 2019

Bren again participated in the MSC sorted in Group A. However, despite being a crowd favorite, they finished last place in the group, behind Malaysia's Geek Fam and Thailand's IDNS, the champion of MSC 2017. In the Play-Ins, they clashed against Team Resolution of Myanmar and beat them, score being 2-0. However, their journey came crashing down when they faced off against Overclockers of Vietnam, the latter beating them 2-0. After MSC 2019 and before the start of MPL-PH S4, Pein left the team.

### Season 4

One of Bren's worst performances, they finished 5th place in the regular season and was placed in the Lower Bracket, facing against EVOS Esports PH. They managed to eliminate them. However, they clashed against Execration and eliminated them with a shocking score of 2-0. Haze, Yuji and Teng later left the team.

### Season 5

Bren Esports acquired Pheww and Karltzy, from Cignal Ultra and SGD Omega respectively. The team started strong and took the number one spot, overtaking Sunsparks and ONIC PH. However, they're demoted by Sunsparks in the Upper Bracket Finals and was faced by ONIC PH. ONIC PH eliminated them by 2-1.

### Season 6

Bren was sorted in Group B and dominated every single team in the Regular Season, including ONIC and Aura (Sunsparks). In the playoffs, they clashed against NexPlay Predator Solid and beat them 3-0. Later, they faced ONIC and like NXP, beat them 3-0, thus paving them a way to the Grand Finals. In the Grand Finals, they faced off against Omega Esports, the only team that can go toe-to-toe against them. They beat them 4-2, thus claiming their 2nd championship.

### MPL Invitational

The bracket was selected through a live draft that saw the four MPL Champions. Bren Esports had an interesting draft strategy that saw them pit both of Aura Esports and ONIC Esports teams against each other. As a result, Aura PH vs Aura ID and ONIC PH vs ONIC ID would happened in first round matches. Both Onic PH and Aura PH beat their main team in their first series and would fight each other for the spot in the quarter finals. Aura PH beat Onic PH with a score of 2 over 1. In quarter finals, Bren made a score of 2-1 against Aura PH. Bren met the champion of MPL-MM and won the series with 2-1 score. However, in the grand finals, Alter Ego of Indonesia won the series in a clean sweep.

### M2

A group draw had been done and Bren Esports became part of Group C along with Indonesia's Alter Ego and Japan's 10s Gaming Frost. In Day 2 of Group Stage, Bren showed unstoppable performances after beating both Alter Ego and 10s Gaming in clean sweeps advancing them to the upper bracket semi-finals in the Playoffs. In the Playoffs, Bren lost to Burmese Ghouls 2-0, demoting them to the lower bracket. In the lower bracket, Bren beat Malaysia's Todak for 2-1 score and had to face Alter Ego again in the tournament for second time around. Bren won 2-1 score against Alter Ego removing them from the tournament and would be facing the last Indonesian team RRQ Hoshi in the lower bracket finals. Bren crashed the hope of Indonesian supporters after dropping RRQ Hoshi from the tournament with 3-1 score securing them the grand finals spot. In the grand finals, the Best of 7 series took 7 games before it was done entitling Bren Esports as the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M2 World Champion at the end of the tournament.

### Season 7

In Season 7, Bren's performance declined as they're punched down by teams like Execration and Onic but managed to get back up and defeated Blacklist International, the best team in the season right now. In the Playoffs, they're demoted to the Lower Bracket by Blacklist themselves. In the Lower Bracket, they eliminated rookie team Work Auster Force (now TNC Pro Team) but was defeated by Execration 3-2.

### Season 8

Season 8 is Bren's worst season to date. They were defeated numerous times in the early weeks and despite reforming themselves, they were never able to book a ticket in the Playoffs and remained in the limbo with TNC Pro Team.

### Season 9

In Season 9, KarlTzy, the jungler and MVP of M2 World Championship left the team and subsequently was acquired by Echo while Ribo took a break after 8 seasons of competing in MPL-PH. With 2 core players out of their roster, they acquired rookies from ArkAngel, a dominating rookie team in the Philippines and as a little bonus, acquired Pauloxpert, who coached SunSparks and Team Gosu to assist Duckey in their drafting. However, their performance didn't changed, as they were still unable to enter the playoffs, being defeated by all teams, only able to take revenge against TNC, BLCK, ONIC and ECHO.
