Omega Esports halted its three-game losing streak, spoiling Adrian “Toshi” Bacallo’s TNC debut via a quick 2-0 sweep in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League-Philippines Season Eight, Sunday.
The SMART-backed squad, who now has a 2-5 standing, catapulted to the third spot with nine points tied with Nexplay EVOS (3-3)
Banking on its late-game prowess, Omega Esports stole Game One from TNC after taking a narrow 15-12 win in 26 minutes and three seconds for the 1-0 advantage.
Kielvj “Kielvj” Hernandez showed nerves of steel in the late game, finishing with nine kills and five assists against just three deaths en route to the SMART 5G MVP.
After an exhausting opener, Omega Esports wasted no time in dispatching TNC in Game Two all thanks to the early rotations of Patrick “E2MAX” Caidic’s Pharsa and Joshua “Ch4knu” Mangilog’s Jawhead.
The map movements from the tank-support duo allowed Kielvj’s Ling and Duane “Kelra” Pillas’ Harith to snowball.
E2MAX was named the SMART 5G MVP with a perfect 4-0-7 stat line in the dominant 13-5 Game Two win which lasted for 12 minutes and 54 seconds.
TNC, who dropped its slate to 2-3, remained tied with RSG PH (3-2) at the sixth spot with six points apiece.
Omega Esports looks to continue its winning ways against RSG PH on Sunday at 6:00 PM while TNC will try and fight back against ECHO on Friday at 6:00 PM.
