Blacklist International put up a dominant performance against Laus Playbook Esports, scoring a 2-0 sweep to book their second win in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League-Philippines Season Seven regular season, Saturday.
The Tier One-backed squad, who upped its slate to 2-0, took the pole position in Group B with five points.
Mark “ESON” Gerardo brought out the Diggie in Game One for Blacklist International which pretty much summed up the entire match.
With the feeding strategy in full effect, Joshua “Aspect” Tating’s Granger never had the chance to scale up for Playbook.
And with their core shut down in the early game, the late-game composition of side laners Peter “JAKE THE DOG” Lapitan (Harith) and Nowee “Ryota” Macasa (Esmeralda) failed to reach its full potential.
ESON, who finished with 11 deaths laced with three kills and nine assists, was named MVP of Game One.
Meanwhile, Edward “Edward” Dapadap notched the third Maniac of the season playing Benedetta. He ended up with a 6-0-1 line in the opener.
Danerie “Wise” Del Rosario then took the reins in Game Two, flaunting a monster Brody performance to seal the sweep.
The former ONIC PH jungler registered 12 kills and four assists against one death in the 18-7 win.
Playbook dropped to the fourth spot of Group B with a 1-1 card for two points.
Blacklist International will square off against Smart Omega on Saturday, April 10 at 6:00 pm while Playbook Esports will face ONIC PH on Sunday at 6:00 pm.
