PKL Fall 2025: Blacklist, Boom, ACT Sweep To End Midseason Strong
MAKATI — The Philippines Kings League (PKL) Fall Split 2025 wrapped up Week 3, marking the halfway point of the regular season, with Blacklist International, Boom Esports, and ACT Esports Club all securing statement victories to solidify their playoff pushes.
ACT extends FLPH’s misery
ACT Esports Club showed no mercy against winless Team Flash PH, pulling off a clean 2-0 sweep. Ittiphat “Flukeyo” Rawangkarn took MVP in both games with another stellar showing.
In Game 1, Flukeyo’s Augran exploded with a 7/1/5 KDA as ACT built a 9K gold lead by 13:40. A jungle clash minutes later broke Flash’s last defense, letting ACT smash the crystal.
John Vincent “Metalwolf” Yao’s Lady Sun (2/0/7) and Vern Bryan “Astral” Forcrey’s Wang Zhaojun (2/1/8) added steady backup.
Game 2 turned into a speedrun. Flukeyo switched to Pei, going 3/0/3, and led a full wipe at 8:22. With the map wide open, ACT ended the match in just nine minutes. Piyaphong “Taoz” Parwthaisong’s Zhang Fei (2/0/2) and Astral’s Yixing (0/0/6) locked down the frontline and kept the team rolling.
Blacklist quickly returns to winning ways
Blacklist International bounced back strong after their loss to ACT Esports Club, sweeping TNT Tropang Alab 2-0.
Game 1 belonged to Chammy Paul “Chammy1” Nazarrea’s Guan Yu, who dropped a 9/2/6 KDA for MVP. At 14:45, Blacklist won a key fight three-for-one, breaking TNT’s defense and sealing a 20-9 finish.
Dragon Hart “Dragon” Dajao’s Shi (2/0/12) and Charles Roman “Chazz” Esguerra’s Liu Shan (4/1/11) added steady support.
Game 2 was even sharper. Blacklist jumped to a 9-1 lead in five minutes and never slowed down. TNT tried to stall at 11 minutes, but Blacklist regrouped and collapsed on the top lane.
After taking down Mark Vincent “Vane” Dasig’s Sun Ce, they ignored the rest and crushed the crystal. Chazz’s Mozi (3/2/16) set up plays all game to lock the sweep.
Boom makes strong statement
Boom Esports proved their resilience, overcoming early struggles to outlast Elevate in a convincing 2-0 sweep.
In Game 1, John Phillex “Daniii” Bulanadi’s Arli (2/1/3 KDA) emerged as MVP after a swing at the 10:50 mark, where Boom wiped three Elevate members in a river clash. Another skirmish at 12:40 went Boom’s way, leaving only Haru’s Agudo alive and paving the way for the finish.
Game 2 highlighted Boom’s adaptability. Heri “Tatsurii” Garcia’s Yuhuan (2/2/10 KDA) set the tempo, but the turning point came at 14:40 when Karl Ken “Karlll” Bautista’s Jing pulled off a critical Tyrant steal. Boom capitalized with a full squad wipe, storming into Elevate’s base in under 16 minutes.
Daniii impressed again with a 5/1/4 KDA on Aoyin, while Reniel “Dr4w” Angara’s Dolia (0/1/11) provided flawless utility and support.
