Many who are into eSports betting were thrilled at the showdown at the North America Challenger Tournament. Newcomer BTK wins the NACT Spring 2023, beating the star-studded roster of Outplay. The win now gives BTK entry to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup 2023 (MSC 2023) and the 15th World Esports Championship.
BTK is a team made up of rookies, and their roster was only formed just before the regular season started. Despite the challenges of competing with a newly-formed team, they managed to win. Some superstitious people may even say that it is beginners’ luck, as all four members have never competed professionally.

Their main opponent in the best-of-seven showdown was Outplay, who many in the bookie pay per head industry would dub as a dream team. The roster of Outplay includes Jang “Hoon” Seong-hun, Peter “Basic” Lozano, and Oscar “SHARK” Vo. The players are, incidentally, former teammates of BTK Team Captain Michael “MobaZane” Cosgun from The Valley.
In the early part of the tournament, Outplay was able to beat BTK, taking BTK to the lower bracket playoffs. Outplay swept the upper bracket final, but faced MobaZane and the rest of BTK in the lower bracket finals. Early in the game, Outplay took the lead, securing three Turtles plus gaining a 5,000 gold advantage. But in the middle part of the game, BTK was able to turn the game in their favor, with ISO’s Karrie completing their core items, helping them secure their own kills.
It was not until the 23-minute mark that Basic made a critical error trying to secure the Lord in the top lane, as all players died in the Lord Dance. This game BTK the full advantage, assaulting the enemy base to win the game. BTK will also take home a huge chunk of the $23,500 prize money.
