PKL Fall 2025: WETRND, TNT, Blacklist strengthen playoff push with sweeps
MAKATI — The Philippines Kings League (PKL) Fall Split 2025 showcased another wave of dominant performances on Week 5 as WETRND Esports, TNT Tropang Alab, and Blacklist International all completed sweeps at Shooting Gallery Studios, tightening the playoff race as the season enters its crucial stretch.
WETRND cruises past Team Flash PH
WETRND Esports wasted no time asserting their dominance over Team Flash PH. In Game 1, Darrfinn’s Chano secured MVP honors with a clean 2/0/0 performance. The match remained tight until the 13:20 mark, when WETRND broke through to take down FLPH’s crystal base for the opener.
In Game 2, Aaron’s Mai Shiranui led the way with a 2/2/10 KDA, highlighted by a triple stunner during an extended jungle clash at 11:35. That momentum sealed the sweep, with Syndicate’s Charlotte delivering a flawless 4/0/4 outing and Darrfinn’s Marco Polo adding a strong 5/1/2 finish.
TNT Tropang Alab sweep Elevate
TNT Tropang Alab continued their resurgence, dispatching Elevate in a clean 2-0. Sica shined throughout the series, earning back-to-back MVP honors.
Game 1 saw his Xiao Qiao (5/1/8) turn the tide at 11:20, locking down Elevate during a bottom-lane clash. The sequence led to a full wipeout and a TNT finish under 12 minutes.
Game 2 looked promising for Elevate after building a 5K gold lead by 13:55, but a costly overextension opened the door for TNT. Sica’s Nuwa (3/1/6) spearheaded the comeback, and by 15:40 TNT stormed through Elevate’s defenses to close out the sweep. The result lifted TNT to 4-7, keeping their playoff hopes alive, while Elevate slipped to 4-6 and into a tighter mid-table battle.
Blacklist bounces back over ACT Esports
Blacklist International made a strong statement against ACT Esports, avenging their earlier upset loss with a decisive sweep.
Chammy1 starred in Game 1 with a perfect 5/0/6 KDA. Blacklist took control with a crucial bottom-lane skirmish at 12:05, eliminating three ACT members and quickly collapsing on the base.
In Game 2, Chazz’s Zhang Fei anchored the squad with a selfless 0/1/12 MVP performance. Blacklist dictated the tempo from the start, ballooning to a 6K gold advantage by the 12-minute mark. With momentum fully on their side, they sealed the sweep to reaffirm their place among the contenders.
