Famously known for their time as WeMade FOX in their 1.6 days, MVP PK has secured their spot in the ZEN League.
The second Asian qualifier for the ZEN League hosted by Cyber Games Arena, reaches its end point after a week of online matches with eighteen teams involved.
After missing the SEA qualifier, the United Arab Emirates squad, Risky were invited to the second qualifier. Despite competing against all their opponents at a ping disadvantage, Obaid "breAker" Al-Muhairi and his crew managed to reach the final stage even though all their matches went to three maps.
Standing on the other side of the bracket are the Korean 1.6 legends, MVP PK who had a slight trouble against their fellow countrymen, YETTI during the semis. Eventually, Keun-Chul "solo" Kang's MVP PK scraped through 2-1 to meet the final boss.

Train was the first map of the grand final, and Risky were eight rounds behind on the scoreboard until Khalid "KarriBob" Al-Junaibi resolved a 2v3 situation for his team to secure the first round for the Emiratis.
Finishing the CT half 10-5, Bum-Ki "peri" Jung gave the Risky side the same taste of treatment with three tec9 kills in the second pistol round. MVP PK successfully claimed the first map 16-11, following a short delay caused by breAker's clutch rounds.
The former WeMade FOX roster continued to perform with a 6-0 CT lead on their map pick, Nuke. However, Mohammed "k1tkat" Al-Nuaimi's side reformed and closed the gap to a 8-7 half. In due course, MVP PK obtained the second map 16-9 and became the sixth team to qualify for the $100k league.
