E-Sports Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus) Semarang berhasil menyabet juara dua nasional pada game Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile. Predikat jawara tersebut didapatkan setelah mengalahkan puluhan tim di ajang bergengsi Tidar Cup 2022, belum lama ini.
The event, held by a public university in Magelang Regency, consisted of various video game branches, including Free Fire and PUBG Mobile. In the PUBG Mobile category, an E-Sports Team at Udinus known as UdinusXGod emerged as the runner-up.
The team consisted of five students from various departments, with Faiz Hanantya R. (an Animation student) being the team leader and a rusher. Two other members, namely, Valentino Jordy also served as a rusher, and Raditya Arya W acted as the sniper or supporter, both of whom are Information Systems students.
Meanwhile, Bintang Akbar from the Undergraduate Management Department assumed the role of in-game leader. Furthermore, a Visual Communication Design student named Romeo Damar D served as a flanker. Every team member in the UdinusXGod team had their respective roles and gave support to each other.
During his interview, the team leader, Faiz, stated that the team had been heavily prepared for the competition by honing their teamwork skills. All team members held their own respective roles, so teamwork was essentially an important factor for them to win the game. For that reason, Faiz and his team did not look down upon their opponents. According to him, the support provided by the academic community heavily impacted their performance in the game.
“Adanya strategi dan komunikasi tim yang baik menjadi salah satu kunci keberhasilannya. Semoga kami bisa terus mempertahankan kekompakan tim untuk terus mengharumkan nama Udinus di kancah nasional,” tambahnya.
The competition, in which many prominent e-sports teams participated, was held online during the qualification phase. Once it got to the final stage, the event was hosted offline. This whole competition mainly took place in October of 2022.
On a different occasion, Dr. Rindra Yusianto, S.Kom., M.T., the Head of the Student Affairs Bureau at Udinus, was proud of this phenomenal accomplishment. He hoped for this success to encourage other students to aim for the best.
“Saya ucapkan selamat atas juara yang diraih ini sebuah kebanggaan bagi Udinus. Membuktikan juga bahwa E-Sport Udinus mampu berjaya di tingkat nasional,” tutupnya. (Humas Udinus/Alex. Foto: Humas Udinus)
