Snapdragon Pro Series S6 APAC Challenge Finals round-up: ONIC, Falcons, Aurora grab wins

The Filipino MLBB faithful will have a good night sleep as all three MPL Philippines delegates win all their games in the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series Season 6 APAC Challenge Finals on Tuesday.

ONIC Philippines grabbed two wins against Team Flash and Selangor Red Giants, while Team Falcons PH swept RRQ Hoshi. Aurora Gaming meanwhile entered the win column with a win against ONIC Indonesia.

Playoff spot secured

The Super Family wasted no time as they dealt Team Flash quick defeats to start their day on a high note.

Grant Duane “Kelra” Pillas led the team with a 5/0/4 performance from his Granger as they dealt a 15-12 loss to Singapore representatives Team Flash SG Frince Miguel “Super Frince” Ramirez also had a good showing with five kills and five assists, while Akihiro “JPL” Furusawa’s Hylos led the Singaporean side with two kills and five assists in a losing effort.

It was a completely different story in Game 2 when ONIC PH sealed the deal with a 25-5 domination, with Super Frince’s signature Luo Yi getting three kills and 14 assists to give FLSG their third defeat in the tournament.

Kelra proved why he is the Filipino Savage as he claimed the elusive savage in a 14-4 domination of the Malaysian champions SRG while completely shutting down John Vincent “Innocent” Banal’s Karrie.

SRG gave ONIC PH a fight in Game 2, even leading by as much as 4,000 gold. However, a takedown to Muhammad Qayyum Ariffin “Yums” Bin Mohd Suhairi’s Badang spelled the end for SRG, as Kelra and company managed to turn the fight around in one minute to end the game on their terms.

Falcons preyed on “Hoshi”-less RRQ

RRQ Hoshi, who were without star gold laner Schevenko “Skylar” Tendean fell to the might of Team Falcons as they faced off in a marquee matchup in Group B.

The Falcons went into rampage mode in Game 1 as they dealt a 23-9 beatdown of the Indonesian powerhouse, with Angelo Kyle “Pheww” Arcangel’s Zhuxin dealing a game-high 15 assists along with five kills.

It was wire-to-wire for the Filipino contingent as they completely shut down Rendy “Dyrennn” Syahputra and Said Ali “Idok” Ridho’s heroes the entire game.

Game 2 was a much closer affair as RRQ fought back until the lord fight when Idok fell on a full team fight in the eighth minute.

Michael Angelo “KyleTzy” Sayson’s Suyou proved to be too much for the star-less RRQ side with nine kills and six assists.

First win for the Northern Lights

Aurora Gaming finally etched their first win as they dealt a 2-1 upset win over a more favored ONIC Indonesia squad.

However, it wasn’t smooth sailing for the Auroras as they squandered a sizeable lead, while ONIC repeatedly punished Renejay “Renejay” Barcarse’s Badang.

Gilang “SANZ” was big in Game 1 thanks to eight kills and nine assists with his Pharsa, while Jonard Cedrix “Demonkite” Caranto’s 6/0/8 showing with his Suyou went to waste.

It was a different Aurora in Game 2 as they shut down Nicky Fernando “Kiboy” Pontonuwu’s Khufra in a 14-4 domination.

Renejay and Edward Jay “Edward” Dapadap’s double tank combo worked on their favor as they combined for four kills and 18 assists. Demonkite took all the neutral objectives away from Kairi “Kairi” Rayosdelsol.

Aurora seized the win in a decider Game 3 as Edward led the charge with his Lukas dealing nine kills while Clayton Adrielo “Savero” Kuswanto’s Harith became a non-factor with five deaths.

Crucial games in Day 3

ONIC will try to end their group stage campaign on a high note as they will face Team Liquid ID in a rematch of the M6 World Championship finals.

Aurora meanwhile will have to topple down a fellow Filipino side in Team Falcons PH in their first match, while they will face EVOS Holy in the third match to close their campaign,

Aside from an all-Filipino crucial match, Team Falcons PH will have to deal against pesky Falcon Esports from Myanmar.
