With a close 2-1 victory over Indonesian rivals Onic Esports, the Filipinos continued by eliminating the Brazilian team, Keys stars anew with a 3-0 sweep.

All series long Blacklist had the upper hand against Keyd Stars with Blacklist in game one showcased Danerie “Wise” Del Rosario on his signature Yi Sun-Shin and Jonmar “OhmyV33nus” Villaluna on the Estes.

Keyd stars tried to turn the table by advancing the first luminous lord but failed to control the momentum as Wise brought a 7-1-7 KDA combined with Hadji’s Yve 5-0-8 line.

Blacklist’s momentum continued to rise in game two where the team delivered an 11-0 beatdown as Luiizz’ Aldous was outmatched by OHEB’s Clint and OhmyV33nus on the Rafaela provided the healing and sustain for the rest of the team.

Keyd Stars also failed to gain any damage on the turrets.

With a massacre game result between Blacklist and Keyd Stars, Blacklist’s EXP laner Edward said that the team was in the zone of playing.

“Siguro momentum din kase ayun nga nanalo kami kahapon tapos may laban ngayon so nag-iinit kami ngayon. Kung meron man laban bukas game kami.”
