Elevate came out swinging early, drawing first blood in Game 1 after Steven “Haru” Buenaventura’s Augran put on a flawless 6/0/4 KDA performance. At the 16:41 mark, Elevate seized a decisive team fight, breaking through Barcode’s defenses to take the opener.
Key contributions also came from Cedrik “Ivalice” Santos’ Yixing and Miguel “Migss” Sto Nino’s Lian Po, who provided crucial initiations and finished with 1/0/8 and 1/1/9 KDAs, respectively.
Barcode, however, refused to go down quietly. In Game 2, Lyndon John “Sl1mee” Enriquez Dyadia orchestrated a strong retaliation with a steady 2/1/15 showing. At 15:24, Barcode wiped out Elevate’s entire squad before storming the base to even the series.
Chris “Chris2” Capitly’s Mayene proved reliable in team fights, recording 4/1/3 while providing timely crowd control setups that turned the tide.

At the 15:30 mark, WETRND capitalized on a 5-on-4 advantage to seize control of the battlefield, eventually marching straight into ACT’s crystal base. Mark Jentry “Maze” Galang’s Yuhuan added 3/0/8 KDA in a steady showing to support the team’s opener victory.
The momentum carried over to Game 2 as WETRND started hot, racing to a 7K gold lead with a 6-1 kill score by the 10-minute mark.
