Bren Esports picked up its third-straight victory after dispatching the second-ranked ONIC PH, 2-0, in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League-Philippines Season Seven, Saturday night.
After staying at the last spot in the first four weeks, the MPL Philippines Season Six champions climbed up to the fifth spot with 12 points through a 4-6 win-loss standing.
“Feeling ko rin e, Bren is back kasi umaayos na yung comms namin tapos parang nararamdaman ko na bumalik na yung chemistry namin,” said team captain Angelo “Pheww” Arcangel.
David “FlapTzy” Canon’s Yu Zhong clamped down Kairi “Kairi.” Rayosdelsol’s Alucard in the opener to help Bren Esports take a 14-10 victory in Game One.
The up-and-coming offlaner manned the frontline for the world champions, putting up four kills, four deaths, and three assists en route to the SMART 5G MVP in the 16:17-minute match.
Excellent initiations from Allan “Lusty” Castromayor’s Khufra was the highlight of Bren Esports’ 16-8 Game Two stomp against ONIC PH.
Lusty, along with Pheww’s Eudora, paved the way for Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno’s Paquito, who bagged the SMART 5G MVP award, to have a field day with six kills and six assists against one death.
Lusty, meanwhile, finished with a game-high 10 assists along with a kill in the match which lasted for 16 minutes and 39 seconds.
Bren Esports’ advantage, who led by as much as 9k in the gold department, proved to be too much for ONIC PH to overcome.
ONIC PH, who was coming off a controversial win against Smart Omega Esports, still kept the second spot with 19 points off a 6-4 standing.
Bren Esports looks to exact revenge against TNC next week, Saturday at 12:00 PM while ONIC looks to bounce back against Nexplay EVOS tomorrow at 8:00 PM.
