It was a day of wipeouts for TNC Pro Team, Team Falcons and Team Liquid PH as they swept their respective series on Saturday at MPL Philippines Week 2.
Trailing on kills during the early half, TNC bounced back through crucial takedowns around the Lord area on the back of Yawi’s 3-1-8 Selena, to secure game 1.
It was a story of gold differential in game 2, as OMG was not able to stop Zaida’s Nolan as he slashed down Smart Omega’s hopes to take the series.
The Phoenix Army climbed to 4th with a 2-1 match record as OMG suffer its second straight loss.
Team Falcons continued its win streak, dominating the struggling Twisted Minds.
Both games were decided by as early as 15 minutes as SuperMarco’s flawless 13-0-5 shut down TWIS, with the help of Kyletzy’s combined scoreline of 8-2-11 on Nolan and Joy.
Twisted Minds has yet to win a single game this season as the Falcons improved to a 3-1 record.
Team Liquid remained formidable as Sanford led the charge against JamesPangks and AP Bren.
Everyone in TLPH had a dominant showing, as they kept cornering APBR in every teamfight to decide the game, 21-7 in just under 15 minutes.
It was close for most of the second game, as JamesPangks and Der kept the game within their reach with insane combo plays to wipe out TLPH.
However, APB came up short, as the Cavalry’s San-San duo of Sanji and Sanford capitalized on Bren’s mistakes to turn the tides and sweep the series.
Team Liquid PH claimed first place and is yet to lose a single game, while AP Bren remains hopeful of getting its first win with a new roster this season.
Day 3 will feature the same teams from Day 2, as TNC plays TWPH first, while TLPH faces off with OMG for the second match.
