It was a total domination for RSG Philippines as it swept the second seed TNC Pro Team ML, 3-0, to book the first ticket to the MPL PH Season 9 Grand Finals at SMX Convention Center on Saturday, April 30.
RSG was methodical in the three-game sweep as it dominated the TNC from start to finish en route to securing a spot in MLBB Southeast Asia Cup in Malaysia next month.
Jhonard “Demonkite” Caranto was at the forefront of the assault for the top seed team as he put up a masterful performance on the jungle Baxia pick in Game 1 before following it up with stellar games on the signature Fanny and Karina picks in Games 2 and 3 to close out the series.
Demonkite unloaded perfect 9-0-9 KDA on the Baxia, a 6-2-6 line on the Fanny and a 5-1-11 showing on the Karina to cap off a series long brilliance.
RSG drew the series first blood with a surgical 19-5 victory in Game 1. The tanky lineup that featured a jungle Baxia, roaming Atlas and an EXP lane Dyrroth rendered SDzyz’s Hayabusa pick useless.
Aqua who provided the setup and damage on his Kagura pick finished with a 6-1-9 KDA.
Riding the momentum from the Game 1 victory, RSG showed no letup in Game 2 as Demonkite’s Fanny quickly got his hands on his core items and disrupted TNC during team fights.
With the focus on the RSG jungler, Eman “Emann” Sangco on the Clint had his free reign on his farms and exploded for an 8-1-5 KDA as RSG took a commanding 2-0 lead with an 18-10 victory in Game 2
TNC’s fire continued to light up in Game 3 but RSG was just too much as Aqua on the Pharsa and Emann on the Brody dished out the damage from the distance. With Nathz on the Esmeralda and Light on the tank Chou providing the protection, TNC had a hard time in taking down RSG damage dealers as the Brian “Panda” Lim-mentored squad cruise to an easy 17-8 win.
