JOHOR BARU: Team Vamos coach Khairul Azman "Pabz" Sharif was a keen observer during Red Esports' victory over JP Niners (JPN) on Thursday.
And he used the "info gathered" to devise a game plan to defeat Red in Friday's upper-bracket semi-finals in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League Malaysia (MPLMY) playoffs.
Vamos secured an upper-bracket finals spot after defeating Red 3-1 at the EduCity Sports Complex in Iskandar Puteri.
"We had an advantage where Red played against JPN earlier. We saw some consistencies in how they played... like their hero choice, rotation and how they started team fights and devised counters for it.
"My players executed all of our plans well and that brought us victory," said Khairul Azman.
Vamos will face Todak in today's upper-bracket final. The winners will earn a ticket to the M6 World Championships.
"This will be a highly anticipated match based on what has been said in interviews and the hype from fans of both teams.
"We almost lost to them in the regular season but managed to recover. However, we still see this as a good match-up for us."
Red's campaign is still alive as they will face Selangor Red Giants in the lower bracket semi-finals.
