Team Liquid PH, Blacklist International among invited teams to Snapdragon Pro Series S6 APAC Challenge Season
MANILA – Two more teams will compete among some of the top teams in the Southeast Asian region as the eight directly-invited teams in the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series Season 6 APAC Challenge Season was announced last Tuesday.
Blacklist International and Team Liquid PH was among the eight teams that will compete in the said competition.
Other directly-invited teams were EVOS Esports and Bigetron Alpha from Indonesia, HomeBois and Todak from Malaysia, RSG Singapore from Singapore, and Team Flash KH from Cambodia.
They will join the eight teams who qualfied through the Open Finals Swiss stage last November, which were Alter Ego, EVOS Holy, and Team Liquid Indonesia from Indonesia, and Aurora MLBB and Fnatic ONIC Philippines from the Philippines.
Meanwhile, three undisclosed teams declined participation to the Challenge Season earlier, prompting the addition of three more teams from the Open Finals participants.
Myanmar’s AI Esports, Philippines’ Lazy Esports, and Indonesia’s RRQ Hoshi were also added to the mix later on to complete the 16 teams.
AI qualified as the losing team to TLID in the Decider match, while Lazy qualified after winning an off-stream match against Malaysia’s JP Niners.
RRQ Hoshi, on the other hand, qualified to the said tournament after their supposed opponent, fellow MPL ID team Rebellion Esports, refused to compete.
The Challenge Season will be conducted from January 6 to 12 in a GSL format, similar to the one used in the 2024 IESF MLBB men’s tournament.
Four groups of four teams will compete in the said format, with the top team—the one getting a 2-0 series win-loss record—qualifying to the Challenge Finals.
The second-placed teams in each group will then compete in a Last Chance Qualifier to determine the two other teams to qualify to the Challenge Finals.
