Allan “Lusty” Castromayor and David “FlapTzy” Canon shouldered the blame for BREN Esports’ tough debut loss against ECHO, Saturday night.
Coming off a tough Game One loss, the reigning world champions had the chance to even the series at 1-all after a strong early game showing from Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno (Hayabusa) and FlapTzy (Esmeralda).
However, a series of miscommunications resulted in back-to-back losses in team fights which ultimately cost them the win.
Entering the 12-minute mark of Game Two, Lusty (Khufra) and FlapTzy managed to get a hold of Christian “Rafflesia” Fajura’s Chou near ECHO’s serpent pit with CJ “Ribo” Ribo (Beatrix) bagging the kill.
Lusty, though, went deep into enemy lines, with FlapTzy immediately jumping off followed by the rest of the BREN Esports contingent. According to the two-time MPL Philippines champion, he pulled the trigger on the Tyrant’s Rage to try and limit the casualties on their side.
However, he failed to call retreat which forced his teammates to come to his aid – leading to the three-man wipe.
“Nung clash na na-wipeout kami, comms,” said Lusty during BREN Esports’ post-game press conference. “Kasi ‘di rin ako nakapagsabi na mag-out na sila e, sinet ko na lang yun para sana makapagout sila kaso ‘di ko nasabi, huli na.
“Biglang lumipad yung mga kakampi ko papunta sa akin.”
“Inultihan ako ni Chou, tapos tinalunan ni Bords yung Chou tapos napatay namin,” added FlapTzy. “Nung nakita ko na nag set si Bords, tinalunan ko yung Lunox tapos hinabol ko ang hindi ko alam, hinabol na pala ng Phoveus yung dalawang core namin tapos ‘di ko na na-protect, ayun talo.”
The MPL Season Six champions had one last chance to salvage the match, but Rafflesia pulled off a fancy Way of the Dragon on FlapTzy which then led to a five-man wipe for the side of ECHO.
ECHO went on to finish the match, taking their first win of the season after losing to ONIC PH in their debut yesterday.
“Nung na-Maniac naman nung Roger, na-Tiktok ako ni Chan [Rafflesia], dapat talaga Purify yung spell ko nun kaso two seconds na lang hindi ko napalitan kaya ‘di ko na lang sinabi,” revealed FlapTzy.
“Yung sa huling clash, yung para sana sa Lord na preparation ‘di ko inexpect na masisipa si Flap akala ko kasi naka-Purify.
“Nagulat ako, doon ko na napagtanto na naka Flicker pala si Flap dapat ‘di pala siya nag che-check bush kasi may Chou saka Saber,” added Lusty.
Bren Esports will next face RSG PH tomorrow at 4:00 PM.
