HANOI – Philippines-Sibol dominated Game 4 of its best-of-five League of Legends semifinal series with Malaysia, 24-9, on Saturday in the 31st Southeast Asian at the Vietnam National Convention Center to zero in on a third gold medal in esports.

David Emmanuel Tapang came through with big kills in the opening minutes to help carry the Philippines to the finals against the winner of the other semifinal clash between Vietnam and Singapore.

The Philippines, which won three golds, a silver, and a bronze medal during esports’ debut in the games in the 2019 Philippine edition, has already produced two titles here, courtesy of world champion Blacklist in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang on Friday and all-female team Grindsky Eris in Wild Rift on Wednesday.

It is still in contention in the PUBG Mobile team event, where the Filipino gamers are running first and third place with 3 Maps to go, even as Sibol dropped its best-of-three series, 0-2, to Vietnam in the SEA Games Crossfire.

The Malaysians took Game 1, 24-8, but the Philippines went on to sweep its next three matches, after equalizing in Game 2 at 21-11.
