RSG PH remained in the running for the top seed after outlasting ECHO, 2-1, in the final week of the MPL Philippines Season 10 regular season, Saturday at the ICITE Auditorium.
With the win, RSG PH upped its standing to 7-5 while also improving its tally to 20 points.
RSG PH took control of Game One as early as the 4th minute after they dealt Karl āKarlTzyā Nepomuceno (Fanny) his second death during the second Cryoturtle fight of the contest. Jhonard āDemonkiteā Caranto (Karina) also secured the objective which pushed RSG PHās lead.
ECHO never recovered from there as RSG PH closed the lopsided, 17-6 Game One affair in just 14 minutes and 53 seconds.
Arvie āAquaā Calderon (Pharsa) led the way with six kills and seven assists against one death while Eman āEMANNā Sangco (Claude) had five kills and five assists without a single death.
With their backs against the wall, ECHO team captain Tristan āYawiā Cabrera (Chou) stepped up in Game Two by limiting Dylan āLightā Catiponās effectiveness on Atlas throughout the match.
Yawi locked down on the RSG PH roamer and even scored the game-winning initiation on the latter during the 19th minute which allowed ECHO to freely take the Lord and eventually finish off the match.
KarlTzyās Fanny topped ECHO with five kills and four assists without a death in the 20-minute match while Yawi had six assists and six deaths.
Unfortunately, that was not enough as RSG PH bagged Game Three to take the win.
RSG PH will return tomorrow, Sunday to take on Blacklist International at 7:30 PM while ECHO will face Nexplay EVOS earlier in the day at 5:00 PM.
