Somehow there was a perfect reason for me to attend the April 26, 2025 match day of MPL Philippines S15 Week 7 Day 2 physically.
One of the Moonton officials gave us a heads-up in the media hub that the trilingual queen, the current MPL Malaysia S15 host Rose Gaming (or simply Rose) will arrive at the venue. I quickly checked her latest IG stories that time and the only hints were a picture with her BF in an airplane and the most giveaway clue, they ate at known modern Pinoy restaurant at Manam hours before they entered Green Sun Hotel
The group media interview is ser right after she entertained first the interview in the broadcast before Game 2 between Onic PH and Team Liquid PH
From the group media interview, the main reason that Rose was in the country as she already got a scheduled hosting for Foodpanda (which it's riders played MLBB for it's Grand Finals) and booked her way before MPL MY S15 is set. She arrived a day before and it was the time for her to land, watch and appear in MPL PH for the first time
After that segment, I really took the chance for an exclusive with her.
When I asked her on the difference on MPL MY S15 to S14 in terms of venue change and energy (MPL MY went back to their S11 reg. season venue as Rose stated, S14 venue was in Stadium MBSJ Serdang Jaya, Selangor), she said ""The new venue is actually not so new because that is where I debuted. So Season 15 venue Stadium Juara is this place where I debuted on Season 11. I feel like it's nice. It's big enough and we are also trying a new format which is we actually charge per tickets for tickets now because previously we did not charge but you know with the franchise stock in place we have been charging tickets viewership is still pretty good. I feel like we can still fill up the the hall a lot of people still come down and I hope they continuously come down to Stadium Juara and support everybody."
On her top 3 OPM songs right now if we will gonna check her Spotify (she actually gave 4 or more after I just checked the recording), the current viral Cup of Joe's Multo, TJ Monterde's Palagi, Lola Amour's Raining in Manila and songs from Bini.
You noticed no Rose Gaming while at the awarding of MPL MY S14 champs SRG
The last that I asked on her was her working relationship with MPL SG host Cheryl Yao during the previous MPL MY S14 Grand Finals and I never expected this response from her as she also included that throwback which I saw her IG story last Nov. 6 2024 as she got COVID ""Oh, it was the first time I met Cheryl. and Cheryl is a sweetheart. Now, a lot of you guys don't actually know but in the Grand Finals of MPL MY Season 14, a lot of us got sick and almost the entire talent pool was down with COVID and we didn't know and I had really bad symptoms that day. After the grand opening and the awarding ceremony, I was just vomiting non-stop backstage and that is why I wasn't in the final moments of it coz I was rushed to the hospital and at the back in the backstage, Cheryl was one of the people who were like constantly helping me, trying to give me water, you know, electrolytes, trying to make sure I was all right. So, yeah, Cheryl is amazing. I love her."
Rose definitely has that fun and bubbly personality that I definitely look forward to see her more in PH and in future seasons of MPL MY.
