Smart awards Gamelab Team as Street League Tournament champ

Esports champions are made, not born: they train and challenge themselves with consistency and dedication, stay up to date on the latest gaming strategies, and give importance to unity and teamwork to achieve their goal.

This is what 26-year-old former van driver Mark Ferry “Dokmen” Nazar, along with his Gamelab Team, have proven when they emerged as the winners of Smart’s Street League Tournament for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) last December, taking home the P50,000 cash prize.

Gamechanging game

Dokmen had been a regular van driver for years before he took a chance to pursue his love and passion for gaming. He may not be the typical brawny, but he has the drive and commitment to succeed in every game that he plays.

“Throughout my gaming journey, I have tried my hand at a variety of different games, but ultimately I found that Mobile Legends is the one for me,” said Dokmen, who then spent years learning the game and training to be the best MLBB player in the country.

Matter of fact, he is one of the firsts who played the game, which gave him a huge advantage of honing his skills and mastering the game. He also had the opportunity to compete for two seasons in the biggest league in the country, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines, where he was exposed to the best of the best in ML gaming.

Not a walk in the park

It was not a walk in the park for Dokmen and his teammates at the beginning of their gaming journey. Although they have always been a formidable team even when they were just starting, they found it consistently difficult to close out games and secure victory.

“After losing a game, we review it to identify where we went wrong and know what adjustments we should make for the next game. We are committed to learn and win as a team. This approach has helped me and my team to bounce back from defeats and come back stronger,” said Dokmen.

With the help of their coaches and management, Dokmen and his team were able to turn things around. With constant training, Gamelab has now evolved into one of the best amateur teams in the country, clinching the top plum at Smart’s Street League Tournament which gathered hundreds of teams from all over the country during its six-month run.

“Initially, we just wanted to see how far our skills could take us, but we were pleasantly surprised that we dominated the tournament week after week. We are thankful to Smart for giving amateur teams and players this platform where we can experience competitive gaming,” Dokmen said.

“We are so proud to witness the journey and growth of Dokmen as an Mobile Legends Player. He and his Gamelab Team have proven that through dedication and hard work, nothing is impossible, and you can be the best,” said Melvin C. Nubla, FVP and Group Head of Smart Go-To Market and Subscriber Management.

“Dokmen’s story is what Smart GIGA Arena is all about, empowering mobile gamers by allowing them and giving them opportunities to compete regularly in leagues and tournaments. So, expect better, bigger, and bolder Smart GIGA Arena events this 2023.”
