DESPITE ACCIDENT, KIELVJ STUNS WITH A BACK-TO-BACK MVP IN MPL-PH OPENER

A freak accident did not stop Kielvj’s rampage as he led Execration to a whooping 2-0 sweep against Smart Omega Esports in its debut of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League - Philippines Season 7.

/ 21 March 2021

Hospitalized the night before the match, Kiel VJ “Kielvj” Hernandez did not disappoint as he claimed the back-to-back MVP title in its sweep against Season 6 finalist Omega Esports in their best-of-three match-up, Friday, March 19.

The first game saw Exacration’s Kielvj and Kelra tried to wrap up the game early as Kielvj’s Claude headed his team to grab a four-for-one trade at the 10-minute point to secure the first lord. 

Salic “Hadjizy” Imam’s Yi Sun Shin and Ej “Heath” Esperanza’s Jawhead were able to stall the inevitable but the attempt to secure the second Lord was their last straw as Execration ended the match right after.

In the second game, Omega tried to even the score with their early game aggression as they claimed both the first blood and the first turtle.

But with Kielvj Ling’s late game-oriented playstyle, two minutes after carrying out one wipeout in the middle lane, Execration conducted another four-for-two exchange that saw the squad nailing its first win. 

Kielvj was hailed as the MVP in both games, accomplishing 5 kills, 5 assists, and 2 deaths as Claude in the first game and a flawless 6 kills, no death, and 7 assists stat as Ling in the second game. 

Execration now earned 3 points in Group B and will face Blacklist International next week, March 26 at 4:00 pm.
