Blacklist International made quick work of Bigetron Alpha, 2-0, to advance to the semifinals of the ONE Esports Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Invitational, Friday night.
The Tier One-backed squad is set to go up against MPL Indonesia Season Eight second placer RRQ Hoshi in the next round.
“It just feels great to represent our country,” said Blacklist International gold laner Kiel “OHEB” Soriano after the victory.
Blacklist International survived the early game exploits of Bigetron Alpha in Game One, running away with a 14-7 victory in 25 minutes and 43 seconds of action.
Edward “Edward” Dapadap’s Khaleed played a major role in the comeback, putting up seven kills and four assists against just one death in the opening victory.
Excellent initiation coming from Salic “Hadji” Imam (Chou) and Danerie “Wise” Del Rosario (Aldous) proved to be the exclamation point in Game Two as Blacklist International bagged a swift 9-2 win in 16 minutes and 25 seconds.
Wise finished with two kills and seven assists in the win while OHEB’s Harith contributed four kills and four assists without a single death.
The Blacklist International-RRQ Hoshi showdown will be tomorrow.
