Gerald “Dlar” Trinchera starred in ONIC PH’s 2-0 sweep of defending champion BREN Esports in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League-Philippines Season Seven regular season, Saturday evening.
With the victory, ONIC PH swept its season match-up against the world champions.
Bren Esports’ mage barrage gave them the upper hand early in Game One, but the Thamuz-Eztes frontline of ONIC PH, along with the late-game damage brought by Jaylord “Hate” Gonzales’ Bruno, gave the two-time MPL-Philippines second placer the win.
Dlar went full defense mode on his Thamuz, while Jay “Jay” Torculas’ Estes gave him the added sustain to man the front.
That wall built by the two mentioned above was indestructible in the latter part which gave them the win.
Dlar was named the Smart MVP with eight assists against four deaths in Game One which lasted for 22 minutes and 50 seconds.
It was all-out domination for ONIC PH in the second match, with Dlar once again serving as the team’s tank playing Barats.
With Dlar manning the defense, Christian “Iy4knu” Manaog’s Esmeralda spearheaded the offensive strike in ONIC PH’s 17-3 Game Two win.
Iy4knu won the Smart MVP award with five kills and seven assists against one death.
ONIC PH snatched the third spot in Group A with 10 points and a 4-2 card. Bren, on the other hand, went down to the fourth spot anew with nine points through a 3-4 standing.
ONIC PH will next face Execration on Thursday at 7:30 pm while BREN Esports will try and bounce back tomorrow against Laus Playbook Esports at 4:30 pm.
