FEU tames Adamson in nail-biter to seize UAAP VALORANT Group B lead


Far Eastern University surged to the top of Group B after surviving a hard-fought battle against Adamson University, 13-10, 13-8, on Day 2 of the UAAP Season 87 Esports VALORANT Tournament held at the Quantum Skyview Deck in Gateway Mall 2, Araneta City.

Tamaraws head coach Lawrence Fillarca credited their thorough preparations for helping the team weather Adamson’s strong challenge in their debut match.

“Yung ginawa lang namin is nagstick lang kami sa plan. Nagtiwala sa isa’t isa. Nagtiwala sa playbook namin and then inexecute lang namin nang maayos sa game na ‘to,” said Fillarca.

“First time nila sa stage kaya meron pang ibang mga kabado or hindi pa na-experience yung stage. Nung nakapag-warm up na sila, nakuha na nila yung groove,” he added, explaining how his players took time to settle in before closing out the game against a relentless Adamson squad.

With FEU clinging to a narrow 11-10 lead in Game 1, Jadine Ladines delivered a momentum-shifting double kill in Round 22 that brought the Morayta-based squad to match point.

Ladines continued his stellar performance in the following round, orchestrating a clutch 2-on-3 comeback to seal the Tamaraws’ opening victory.

Game 2 was just as intense, with Adamson stringing together three flawless rounds to trim the deficit to 10-8. But FEU kept its composure and leaned on the heroics of Andro Lapinid, who finished with 25 kills and 13 assists to close out the series.
