Bren Esports pays tribute to 'G.O.A.T.' Ribo, parts way with veteran player

Bren Esports has released Carlito "Ribo" Ribo Jr., who has been with the team since the inaugural season of the MPL Philippines.

In a Facebook post on Monday, Bren said Ribo will explore other opportunities beyond the team's grounds.

In a recently uploaded vlog, Billy Ray "Z4pnu" Alfonso revealed that Ribo will be joining the Z4 Esports, a team that the Omega Esports mainstay owns.

Bren paid tribute to the player considered as the MPL's G.O.A.T.

"We are forever grateful for the honor you have brought us and the country. We'll keep supporting you in your new journey. Cheers to many more achievements, the Greatest of All Time!"

Ribo, who last played in Season 8 before taking a break in Season 9, is a two-time MPL Philippines champion, taking the Season 1 title under Aether Main, before Bren took over the team in Season 2. He took the MPL Philippines Season 6 championship with Bren and went on to win the M2 World Championship in Singapore.

He was also part of the team that won the 2019 Southeast Asian Games gold medal.

The veteran MLBB pro-player has been tagged as the "G.O.A.T" courtesy of his international accolades that include the 2018 MLBB Southeast Asian Cup title, Challenge SEA Summit championship, and the Razer SEA title.
