Cavalry Prevails Despite Twisted Surprise
Twisted Minds PH stunned Team Liquid PH in Game 1 with an 18-6 rout, as Jomarie “Escalera” delos Santos showcased his Guinevere with a 2/2/9 performance. Michael “MP The King” Endino’s Joy and Jhonville “Outplayed” Villar’s Harith combined for 11 kills and nine assists, overwhelming Liquid PH early.
Karl Gabriel “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno struggled on his jungler pick, tallying only four assists while falling five times with zero Lord takes.
In Game 2, Kiel “Oheb” Soriano’s Granger came alive, posting a solid 4/1/5 KDA, while Jaypee “Jaypee” dela Cruz’s Jawhead wreaked havoc against Escalera’s Kalea, who struggled to make an impact.
The series-deciding Game 3 saw Liquid PH shift gears, preventing Twisted Minds PH from gaining any momentum.
