This is going to be another edition of the clash of the titans. Another edition lower bracket finals. The stakes are higher than ever with a grand finals appearance and to be the next representative for MSE and EWC 2025. going up against the M5 world champions. And the one that’s waiting right at the top are the M6 world champions. I still cannot believe I’m saying it. You’re exactly right, Hans. And the players that have won season 12, season 13, and season 14 MPL Philippines champions champions. This really is their quest from becoming legends to immortals. You know what? I think it is now time because only one can stay alive and only one can come out on top this Champions Arena. Welcome to FBL Philippines Season 15, the playoffs. And yes, from the land of champions, we are still here with two teams set to the path to immortality. I’m Ron Hart and this is Redmar Santa Cruz. We bring you the action right here from the panel right above the teams as well. If you can see where we are, we flying high just like the Falcons and TLPH are right here as well. How are you today? I am uh quite nervous, of course, as a uh very vocal Falcons guy, but at the same time, it just feels so good to hear that we’re going to have for the first time in the history of MPL Philippines, a best of seven lower bracket finals. It is that important to make it to the championship match. the first to, you know, by the end of it all, you’ll be able to call yourself immortals, but then at the same time to make it to EWC 25. That’s right. EWC 2025 is the biggest stage of them all, at least right after NPL Philippine season 15, where teams from all around the world are actually vying for their own slots and their own slots, the wild cards as well. But we’ll talk about that a little bit later on because right now we have two teams who have just been at each other’s throats for the better part of like almost one and a half years. Yeah, if you are a wrestling fan, this is the matchup that you would chant fight forever over and over again because they always just seem to meet up with each other in very important matches in MLBB history. That’s right. The biggest ones, specifically the S13 and season 14 uh, you know, championships. Sorry. Season 12, 13, and then 14 obviously is Onyx. But yeah, they’re basically every single team that are remaining right now in the playoffs are championship caliber. And that that’s not just saying it. They have the trophies to prove it. Yeah. Uh so much history and uh illustrious achievements between these two teams. That’s right. And of course, they are going to be equipped with all day 120 FPS systems. The NextG Infinix GT Pro. It’s the new official tournament gaming phone powering the next seasons of NPL Philippines. Yeah. From the GT20 Pro, we are now the GT30. So, I can’t wait to find out more about that uh magnificent device as the time goes on cuz I feel like I mean we’re only just uh getting introduced to it. This is new. Actually, I haven’t actually touched it yet. Yeah, not yet. So, they’re the ones experiencing it first. Obviously, the be only the best of the best for the best, you know, esports athletes in the country. And of course, don’t forget MPL fans and X fans, get ready to witness the best student teams battle for glory at the Infinix Campus Cup Philippines local group stages. Yeah, that’s going to be live streamed from June 14 to 15 at the national finals will be on June 28 only on Infinix Philippines Facebook page. Once again, the Facebook page of Infinix Philippines. This is XCCPH. # World Legends Rise. The Collegiate League of Philippines MLBB continues to grow, continues to get bigger. And yeah, I’m going to spoil it later. We are going to be interviewing the champions of the UAAP, the biggest campus esports tournament in the country. That’s right, Infinus Cup Glo going global. By the way, we’re going to see a few teams from other countries as well, but that is going to be news for a different time. For the meantime though, we’re going to look at the the current journeys of these two teams. Uh, honestly, it’s not been uh the easiest journey. Oh, yeah. Um, we did see Onyx have their time in the sun becoming our first MSE 2025 finalist from the Philippines for uh for this one. And then, of course, Falcons, they got their losses, they got their wins, and they’re going to be facing TLPH right here, right now. And again, it is a best of seven. Both these teams are very familiar with how much how grueling a best of seven can really be. Yeah, they faced off each other with max serieses uh ever since, if I’m not mistaken, MSC 24. They met up with each other and each other in other after that. You mentioned how difficult it is. Yeah, had their time in the sun, but it’s as if they forgot to put on sunscreen. They were almost eliminated by Twisted, almost taken down to the lower bracket by Aurora. But then they were able to get their get over their personal hurdles as Kellra put it by sweeping Team Liquid Philippines while Falcons were almost taken down by the Phoenix Army in the return to their playoffs after five seasons or five seasons. Six seasons almost. Yeah, after like five seasons. And the team Liquid Philippines of course getting the last laugh against Falcons, reverse sweeping them before they fell down to ONIC in yesterday’s upper bracket finals. Yeah, and you heard that right. It’s a reverse sweep and that’s going to be happening here today. TLP versus Falcons. The first time that these two teams actually faced off against each other in a very major finals, season 12 or season 13 13. 13. Yeah. And that was a sweep. Yeah. Yeah. So, that was really something that a lot of us weren’t expecting. Uh, I guess you could also say very unexpected is the way that they actually fought against each other as well in previous games. And again, you mentioned they have been pushing each other to the to the limit to the maximum ever since that fateful day. And that’s the days when we start to call them really the titans of MLB. Yeah. from the southern part of Metro Manila to Riad to Malaysia multiple times in Manila online and offline. These two know these two teams know each other so well. Of course, with a shared DNA and history between the two with the players that have transferred between them, but then most importantly, of course, with just how much they faced off against each other all throughout I’m missing one country. Kazakhstan. They even faced off in Kazakhstan. Exactly. So very storied. uh so many shared events and so many shared talents in between these two teams. I mean, some of them actually share trophies in World Championships. So, you can really tell that they’re very intimate with each other in terms of how they play, of how they move around the map, maybe even their uh their strategies. Obviously, uh Trevor has also had some time with Carl Tezy in the past. Um, and again, all of these are just just it just boils down and creates a very very interwoven thread of a story between them. And that’s something that I don’t know could really spell disaster or uh really a big boon to either team depending on how they they use their experiences. So, this is it. The Clash of Titans, the final fight for immortality. They told each other in interviews, “I wish we would be able to represent the Philippines again in MSE. Let’s have another run in Riyad.” But only one of them will stand tall today and only one of them will be able to fight for immortality against Onyx Philippines waiting in the grand finals. Carl Tezy, the young goat on the side of Team Liquid. Kyle Tezy, once shadowed by Carl, now has risen up in his own right. Here is the history between the two. Yeah, we got as what we mentioned earlier, that sweep from season 13 that really was unexpected for a lot of us. But then again, facing against each other in MS 2024’s knockout semifinals, that’s when uh Falus actually had the upper hand. But in a major event, that was the last time cuz after that in season 14 regular season, the the Falcons actually were able to really get a lot. And then season 15 came and this is where the story kind of changes. Yeah, for the longest time it was Liquid asking Falcons, well Falcons 8 Bren at that time, how do we beat you, man? We couldn’t beat you in Riad. We couldn’t beat you in Central Europe and Asia. We couldn’t even beat you in Malaysia. What do we have to do? Then everything just clicked in season 15 of course with the introduction of OH into the squad. Team Falcons has yet to beat the team heralded and led by the man on your screen right now, Carl Teasy. That’s right. The man, the myth, the legend publicly acknowledged by Kyle Keezy himself to be his idol. Yeah. Um really has gone uh the distance recently achieving his 2,000 kill uh mark in MPL Philippines. the first MLPH player to do so. Uh, and we are going to see them face off against each other. Um, this is a very very stellar head-to-head style. Yeah, actually when you look at Carl Tezy and Caltezy, there’s a shared hero between them. The Lancelot, of course, Carl Te has had significantly way more Lancelot games, 51 compared to the nine of KZ games played rank. the most played uh hero or the player with the most games on the Lancelot is Carl Teasy. Higher than KD, higher than win rate. But of course, I mean, Carl’s been playing in the league much longer and Lancelot’s been around uh just as almost as long as Carl Teasy has been in the league. So maybe today, you know what, not maybe hopefully today we get to see Lancelot pop up between these two. Maybe one game a piece, one for Carl, one for Kyle. I wouldn’t knock it. I wouldn’t knock that idea because um in previous games, you know what, even Onyx Philippines have been very happy to bring out the Lancelot in the clutchest of clutch moments like game five situations. So, I wouldn’t blame it and I think these pro players are really hiding some uh some knowledge about Lancelot here that we haven’t fully grasped yet and how how the Lancelot works in specific scenarios. Yeah, but Lancelot is only one of the pieces. I mean, we’re very familiar with the meta of the jungle right now. We’ll be able to discuss that more as we head into the draft, getting closer into the game. But heading into this playoffs match, Kyle Tezy has actually been trumping Carl Tezy in objective security compared to the how much they’ve secured and the games that they’ve played. Carl Te does have five more turtles over Kyle, but he’s played less games compared to uh Kyle Tezy in the other regard. Oh, actually no. That makes Kyle Ty more efficient, but the lords, Kyle Tezy has secured significantly more lords over Carl. But I think it’s not just going to be us here. Our friends will join us. That’s right. We’re going to be joined by our casters for the day. By the way, we got Leo, Inan, and Bria. Um, and again, we’re going to try to talk about like maybe our predictions a little bit. How are you guys feeling there on the get on the desk? I would like to think I’m good, but no, I have to acknowledge the fact that emotionally I am cold because of once again the stakes of this Clash of Times. Yeah, one team will get their hearts broken. And of course, one will rejoice as they will advance also to MSC and the grand finals. Yeah, I’m not sure if I got enough rest, too. But that’s all more a bigger question for Team Falcons, you know, cuz like they’ve been here since day number one. So, however, the momentum looks really good. So, let’s just see what happens later. Yeah, we’re going to have a bit of a community poll here to see what the community thinks about what’s going to happen here, which time win the final fight for Immortality. And again, they’re missing a missing trophy. Yeah, that’s a big that’s a big stakes as well, right? Yeah. Let’s go Liquid. Our Falcons are here. Remember, there are three twotime world champions in this matchup. All of them don’t have an MSE trophy just yet. I think it’s time for our casters to share their predictions with our awesome emotes. What’s it going to be, guys? No more switching. No more switch your room. I’m going to be the Falcons guy today. So, cuz Renar is a slick thick, so I’mma be a Falcon flap teasy guy. Woo! We got both of it. All right. He has two Falcons emotes. Yeah. Yeah. Me. That leaves you with no choice but to reveal that I am actually a liquid girly in case you haven’t known. We’ve known that for so long. Oh, yeah. Okay. It’s not a secret. That is MPL Philippines season 15 lore. Brigida. So, I have to break the tie here. Uh, contrary to what the forecast says, I’m going to go Falcons here. There you go. I bleed green. All right, we’re getting more Falcons guys on the desk now. Rockart, what’s yours? All right, we’re going uh I’m going to go Falcons here today. I just have a good feeling about what I saw yesterday. Yo, the 2% is growing. It’s not just me anymore. Heck yeah. Let’s go. Falcons army. Let’s go. Let’s go. He has been itching to bring that out earlier. Getting more Falcons people up in here. All right. As you can see, guys, the desk and the panel uh of course have been very very adamant about this. And don’t forget to get those new battle emos as well available until August 5 only 109 diamonds. So flash them out as you as much as you can. They’re going to need all the support they can get. You can also get emotes Aurora, TLP, and Twisted if you got them Onyx, Omega, and TNC’s Valley, which are also returning. Yeah. So, you see our desk host uh our desk right now showing off their predictions. Share your predictions as well. Don’t forget to buy the battle emotes and yeah, uh I’m nervous. I was going to say I’m nervous right now. No, I think it is reserved. So, I hope that you guys have a fun time later on casting and bringing us the games. It’s going to be us for the meantime. So, uh we’ll see you later and uh that’s going to be it. Bring him high. All right. Rio, I’m going to take take this off for a while first cuz like I don’t want to draw the eye of the Cavalry. The Cavalry do have a special place in my heart, but right now Falcons guy, you know, but I’ll just keep that there. Especially just how they performed, right? The tempo that has been set by Falcons from their game yesterday. That fire that doing that reverse sweep. Yeah, that that came out almost out of nowhere. Yeah. And I was uh looking at the community beats online and it seems like even members of the Cavalry are getting quite vocal about how worried they are heading into the series. Of course, with them not being able to take a game against Onyx, they got swept and they’ve looked iffy even in some of the drafting decisions, game decisions in their first series against Falcons earlier in the playoffs. The belief is still there, but the doubts are creeping in. Meanwhile, Falcons have just been reinvigorated. Of course, the 2% army. By the way, there was a poll online about the predictions for champions and the f the Falcons only got like 2%. And uh their emphatic win against Aurora yesterday. So, it’s such an interesting point right now in the Clash of Titans cuz we’re starting to meet in the middle and it at the end of the day they’re going to be going separate ways. That’s right. Uh, and finally, right, like at least for a while, it’s going to be settled cuz 100% sure that one of them is going to MSE and one of them will be taking a rest for the rest of season until season 16. So yeah, the 2% squad, if you guys are going to wondering where that’s coming from, if here if you see 2% somewhere there, it’s from a big poll of who the fans are think are going to be going to uh the championship or going to see and that yeah, the 2% that they’re talking about like Flap teasy mentioned in the interview yesterday is about those people who really believed in them when everyone else really doubted their their power. Yo, but uh 2% gang. You see the side like right behind Rockhart. That is the cavalry coming out in full droves and every time Team Liquid plays they are some of the loudest fans. Uh the chance that they dish out the drums that they have and right now the Falcon side is looking kind of thin. So in a way it’s homecourt advantage for Liquid that they’ve got that going well for them. That’s right. So, if you’re wondering, uh maybe it’s a little early. Sometimes we we start the matches, they’re not there yet, and then then they suddenly fill up like literally two minutes later. So, we’ll probably see people walk in later on. And again, uh if you are a big fan, vote on the poll as well. Like I think that was A for Falcons. Mhm. And B for Team Liquid. Let’s other way around. A Let’s Go Liquid, B for Falcons. There you go. So, let’s know in the comments as well. and then we’ll uh try to count them out and maybe we’ll get those percentages up a little bit. For the meantime though, we do have a VTR. I think we have a little surprise from TT Racing. Heat. Heat. I don’t know if you saw, but those were some chairs brought to you Dubai collaboration between Naruto and TT Racing. And of course, we have their representatives for making it happen all throughout the season. We have here, of course, Honey Glazer, Angelica Cortez, their content development manager, and of course, David Simon Reyes, TT Racing’s country head. Welcome, guys. It’s nice to have you here today. Awesome. Thank you so much for actually having us, and thank you MPL family for this wonderful opportunity. Now, with that being said, I want I want to know, all right, I want to know from you guys more about TT Racing and the gaming chairs. What separates the brand from all of the other gaming chairs that are already existing? That’s a fantastic question, Hans. So, I believe every single gaming chair out there is relatively comfortable, but the question is, how long can can they stay comfortable? So right here in TT Racing, we actually spend a lot of time doing our designs and aside from that, but we we do a lot of R&D to ensure that our chairs stay comfortable for a long long time. That’s why we offer a 2-year long local warranty. Oh, I like that. 2 years warranty. Yeah. And speaking of being comfortable, as the official gaming chair of MPL, how has this helped our players get comfortable, especially now playoffs, the stakes are higher? Absolutely. So these players are not only players or kids. These are athletes. So these athletes stay playing for a long long time for like 20 hours or so every single day training for victory. That’s right. And they need the right support system to have their back so they can focus on winning and we can focus on supporting them and having their backs. first two days in the playoffs less stress and better posture all throughout those first two days and until now s semi-finals for sure and kina we watched the narrow toe video and can I just say the chairs are super awesome and cool right h really good really good looking and I’m sure a lot of us are curious when and where can we see them in person excite MPL playgrounds earlier and this June here in the Philippines. You guys are welcome to visit it on the TT Racing home grounds in BGC Tag. Okay, I like it. So, it starts tomorrow cuz tomorrow is June at some point, right? At some point. This coming Monday, you can see the Naruto um gaming chairs live in our showroom. All right, I like it. So, move over to the showroom at PGC. Now, I want I want to know cuz you already mentioned more about that Naruto lang that the collaboration with MLBB is already there or how was the partnership with Naruto like? So, so perfect timing especially now it’s the playoffs also team 7 then here in MPL in MLBB collaboration. I like it. I like it. Now for the golden question, right? We’re talking about price range. Let’s kick things off first with the Sakura chair. Honey Glaze David, I think it’s now time for you to announce it. How much are the chairs? Starting off with Sakura. For Sakura chairs, our original price was 21,449. Okay. But our introductory price in the Philippines is only 14,999. Wow. But there’s more. If you use the voucher MPL2000 in our website, it will give you a 2,000 pesos discount, making it only 12,999. So, we started off from 21 and then we dropped it all the way to at least 12,99. That’s insane. Exclusively using the MPL 2000 voucher. Okay, MPL 2000 voucher. Go at it already. But I think there’s different prices with the other chairs, right? How about the Kakashi one? Kakashi one is actually our most expensive, but of course there are still surprises. Kakashi one original price will go for 24,999 pesos and then the introductory price will be 18,999 but with MPL 2000 voucher you can only you can get it finally at 16,999. So again, from 24 to 16, right? Huge, huge bargain. That’s not bad. Discount sulit. I I wouldn’t say that it’s not bad. It’s a solid deal, right? I’m not going to lie. Now I’m moving forward to we’ve already mentioned Sakura Kakashi Sask. Yeah. Yeah. How about Saskuke this time? Um Honey List Crush Saskuke um original price with Saskuke. It’s um 29 21 rather 21499. Introductory price is going to be $15999 and shre going down for real with a new price here is $1399. I cannot believe it. From 21 to 1399 using the code MPL2000, right? Yes. You have another one I believe. Right. Yeah. Naruto. There you go. Of course. Naruto from Naruto and Sask rivals in the series almost the same price range nila. So with 21499 introductory price going to $1599 and with the use of the MPL 2000 it’s going down for real with $1399. There we finally have it. And I am sure that there are a lot of people looking forward to that. So again, Kooi that is MPL 2000 vouchers. David Honey Glaze, it’s so nice to be here with you guys today. And the question is, are you guys ready? Super ready. Are you guys ready? We’re very ready. Okay. Champions Arena, are you ready? I want to know first team liquid team Falcons. This is a best of seven series, the first one of this season. And with that being said, players, time to shine. Thank you guys. To oversee and uphold the tournament’s integrity in this titanic battle are Juven, Chico, JJ, and Patrick, our marshals. Clash of the Titans, but only one of them can take the step towards immortality. Team Liquid versus Team Falcons. The EXP laners, Sanford and Flav Tezy in the jungle. Cole teasing versus Kyle Tez. It’s like looking at a mirror. It’s Sanji versus F in the mid lane. The Rome battle between Daddy JP and Master Oaken. And in the gold lane, the regular season MVP, OAB versus Bulletproof Super Marco and their coaches. Welcome to the stage for Team Liquid Philippines, Coach RC, for Team Falcons, Coach Trevor. The lower bracket finals. Who will take the step into immortality? Champions arena. It’s game time. And these are lineups we are heading into immortality with team liquid Philippines. This is a lineup that has gone through the highs. The regular season first seed and they are looking for redemption in the eyes of their opponents and the fans. It’s been a tough time going for Team Liquid Philippines. Tested in their first series against Team Falcons and yesterday swept by Onyx Philippines. We haven’t really seen them completely click. Sans San has been answered so far little bit by Falcons mostly so by on Philippines. So what does TLPH bring to the table? Well, they have the regular season MVP on their side. OB’s right there and so far he struggled. But if he steps up today, if Falcons cannot solve him, then they will struggle. Meanwhile, of course, the Falcons riding on a high as Kyle Tezy and Super Marco yesterday led the charge against Aurora. Super Marco had 17 kills, three deaths, and seven assists playing Moscow, Granger, and Harth. And these two actually, Kyle TZ and Super Marco, they are carrying the MVP performances for the team this season. Kyle TZ 13 team MVPs. Super Marco 10 team MVPs. That’s right. for Marco also just proving to be one of the most consistent gold laners in terms of just the lowest average deaths and as well as of course the very consistent not the highest and KZY has actually been flexing his uh his hero a lot on that jungle stuff. Yeah, you mentioned hero pool. Team Falcons 54 over the 39 of Team Liquid. Team Liquid run a very tight ship and it’s led them to success in the regular season, ending that with the top one seat, but they need to show more. If they have any other cards hidden up, they really need to show it now. It’s elimination. If they want to make it to the grand finals, if they want to go to MSC, then they really need to flex the heroes that they haven’t shown yet because so far they’ve been struggling in the drafts this playoffs. It has really been a big struggle. Uh I believe the the you know the nerfing of the Granger has really affected the performance of Team Liquid quite a bit, especially now that they have to really adjust. Although they still have a really decent win rate using the Har in that gold lane. Um you know, flexing out some new gold lane uh options are actually the one of the big key factors I’m looking at personally for TLPH. Yeah. And there there seems to be something about the second half of the draft for Team Liquid, especially in their series against Falcons. Yes, they won that, but they were tested every time in the second half. And against Onyx, that’s where they really lost it. That’s right. And of course, we’re going to have a little bit of a preview here of what our teams are thinking. Smart Pink Test. The one that got away. Nice. Everything is under control. I want to see KTC and JP connection. So, be confident guys and just play play the game. No matter what happened, show them who you are. That’s what I like about Sanji. doesn’t have to worry us with the translations. Really, he just loves us no matter what. Yeah. Uh, good words of wisdom coming in from Sanji. Of course, that’s our Smart Pink test. Bring you low latency gaming with smart promos. Subscribe to Only 5G with non-stop data for non-stop gaming on your favorite loading platforms or at the smart booth right outside the MPL venue. And in just a few moments, we’re going to be going into the nittygritty of this matchup. You can see the players are very serious. This is their serious infinite excuse to take off. This is what we were talking about for Team Liquid. Adapt to survive the final fight for immortality. Flex more heroes. It seems like they’ve got into this playoffs thinking what we showed off in the regular season. That is more than good enough. Let’s just switch up some things. But those things haven’t really completely worked out. There were some things that have been hit or miss. So, show more. Show else what you got to the table. Especially if you can get Sanford and more heroes that are so active and deal damage. That’ll be great. Continue to showcase tenacity and punish errors. That’s how Falcons were able to win against Aurora. They did not let up. In the moments where it looked like they will back off, they decided to continue fighting. Team Liquid though are also really great at that, but we haven’t seen enough of it cleanly. They need to be cleaner this time around. Best of seven series is a battle of endurance. The community beat has been, it seems like, as the playoffs goes on, it becomes a draft battle. It becomes a flex between coaches. So, time to shout out Coach RC for Team Liquid and Coach Trevor and Falcus. You guys are going to be testing each other today. Whoever can adapt more, whoever can flex more, and maybe even show up some new tricks, we’ll probably win. That’s actually really true cuz I I I actually been watching the the broadcast here and I think they both agree that the draft really indicates you like whenever like the whole panel kind of agrees that oh my god this draft is good. They do win a lot. So the draft really is a big uh tempo setter here and the team just they have a set way of playing these specific compositions that I feel like uh they also kind of just read to each other. So, I’m wondering if like I like you mentioned, if team uh Liquid PH can actually bring out some new stuff here. Yeah, that could mean the big difference between them. Yeah. And those new things have to be something that can make Super Marco struggle because he’s been popping off since yesterday. He looks absolutely hellbent even in the last game uh against Team Liquid Philippines when TLPH were the ones who were eventually able to take victory. Oh, I love how our crowd sounds. Bring that mic up right there. You can hear them all just shouting. They are pumped. They are ready. We’re going to draft for game number one. I think we’re not going to be alone this time around. Uh, are we going to be able to get some help? Uh, Brigy, are you there? Request backup. Yes, Slick Thick, I am here. See, I carried it over up until day number four. Pushing that, man. Thank you so much. I I really appreciate it. Uh, what do you think? Uh, bands first big predictions right away. Do you have any? H I feel like the joy is the um only thing so far that can be a potential priority pickup for Carl Tiz. Although he’s had only one joy game so far in the playoffs. He’s been more comfortable picking up the Hayabusa. But it’s interesting that Team Liquid Philippines actually decided to ban it themselves this time around. Right. I hope that you don’t forget that when you forgot to shout out the Brigades. Oh, it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s a best of seven. We’ll get a lot of opportunities for bring it up to shout out the Brigades. The Brigades. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, for now, yeah, I really like what I’m seeing here. Obviously, the Hayamusa, you know, just because the Kakashi chair is uh just so good and apparently it’s really high quality. Yeah, they they might be listening, you know, they might be starting to think of something else. I mean, the few times they actually tried to be creative, it really didn’t work. Especially if you would recall that uh first series that they had against Team Falcons, they really struggled. So, now that the Troy’s also out Yeah. H very interesting. Uh okay, Juicin’s gone. Are they going to fight for Lo Yi? Yeah, this time around uh with Ka gone as well. Some of the highprofile picks. Wow, what a swerve by Team Liquid Philippines. All right, they want to be able to give OH one of his fastest farming heroes. 793 gold per minute this season. And Harth is one of the fastest farmers we have in game. Yeah, we’re talking about that. I mean, uh, OB’s Hero has been really the one that they’re trying to really manage, making sure that he has a really good winning lane. So, the other teams can, the other members of the team can actually rotate a lot easier around him. Yeah, they pick up the Baksha, not just the Badang, which I also would have considered at this point since it’s been a very high priority for Team Falcons. But again, this doesn’t reveal much just yet. The flex factor in the Baksha and you already know that Super Marco will really end up with his Granger anyway considering that they left it open that he’s used it seven out of how many games that they played in the playoffs and always gets the BPI rich guy. Yeah. All right. So, if you’re teamly good Philippines, you already have a lot of magic damage. I think you need more crowd control to help supplement the Harifth. Eve wouldn’t be too farfetched. But the difficult thing is you don’t see the jungler on the other side yet. So, it’s either going to be the Eve or the Far considering that they ban out the Hayaboo. Wait, no, no, no, no, no. Why go for the either or the fara when you can get Sanji on his comfort pick on the Loi? You get Carl Tesy on the Freder. They’re really going to be playing around this Har. Yeah, I love it. We were so used to having the Lui banned out. Actually my mind as well. And there you go. Uh Frederan again can still be kind of flexed a little bit. Um some teams are willing to do that. We already saw do it yesterday as well. Uh so yeah, that can go either way. But here comes the Lucas. Kyle has been very proficient on this actually. He’s been taking a lot of the 1v2s, 1v3s with this hero very early on in the game. Yeah, exactly. Bring it on Lucas has been like the go-to answer now for lineups that have Frederick in the jungle. You pick up the Lucas in the jungle. Yeah. And I feel like even towards those instances where we see the chip and the Louis is not too far from that. You go for a diversion play, you see everyone come in and suddenly force a fight and the Lucas is just there to use the unleash the beast immediately respond back and engage in a fight and be just as confident in doing so. So, they’ve already answered some of the potential um engages that we will be seeing later on from Team Liquid Philippines, but now they’re narrowing down the options in the EXP lane. I feel like this is the perfect time to see what we’ve been talking about or what you guys have been talking about. Zport might want to pick something that can amplify the damage that Team Liquid Philippines can provide. Yeah, if they want more damage, more mobility, by the way, good to see more of the 2% in the arena. The arena, the arena’s really filled up. Uh, Sanford, uh, I would like it if you would consider Benardeta, please. Uh, open up the map. You get more damage considering that you have a Freder in the jungle with you. But it’s been a while since we we’ve seen Sanford play the Benadeta. Come on, give us a treat. Yeah, I would love to see that. Um, but in this scenario with Freder being the lone front liner, might see something like a high loss maybe or Katcha coming in. Oh, wait. What if what if the uh the Ferdin Arllo combo finally happens too? That could be a possibility. I mean, the Lui Arllot has been a has been a duo ever since, right? Like it dipped in terms of like priority ever since. So, well, but we can’t completely turn turn off the idea. I get you there. And with them banning out the Phobia, that looks like one route that they could take if they decide to go for it. If it’s not going to be a damage exp laner, Team Liquid Philippines can still go for something tanky like a Terisla and whatnot. And considering that they’re picking up a Badang, it’s a really great ban because Team Liquid Philippines are playing a very tight formation. Glue is still up on the board. I didn’t forget Glue this time. I didn’t forget Glue this time. Either of these two teams could pick up Glue and it would be good. I love the Masha though damage. send that bomb everywhere on the map and make Falcons wonder if there is a awaiting a wild Masha in a bush. I mean, they have the diversion, right? So, oh, but the Matilda went through. So, the Lucas Matilda combo. Yeah, it’ll be present for team Falcons and even Super Marco. He’ll have a way easier time to get out of trouble. Flying cube. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I’m sure we’re going to see that again. Falcons rotate around the map fast. I think Team Liquid Philippines either they match up with a Benadeta again in the exp lane for the rotational speed or they double down on a tight formation, slow front to back composition with something like a glue or Terisla in the exp lane. It’s very tanky on the side of Falcons uh with a slower front line with a Baksha and or Lucas. So an Xorg in the exp lane might make some sense as well. So a lot of options for Sanford is up to them to pick their poison. Rockart mentioned the Gataka earlier. Oh, bring it out. You call that Arlot finally showed up and we get a Franco to boot. That’s crazy. I love how crazy this is for Team Eli. We were asking for new stuff. Yeah, we were asking them to remove their fear getting into this draft and they didn’t. Oh my goodness. I wonder if Valkans are just going to dive in to get the vision and pick up a Selena for F right away. Or are they going to try to play it safe? Oh, what else is there? Oh, the Pyramus is there, too. Uh-huh. if they ever want to like survive the fight a little longer. Yeah. Uh we have Phamas. They have the Eve. Oh, good call there. Brigado Phamas locked in by F. I insane. The Phamas wants to stick close together, but Team Nugget Philippines are good against that. But Falcons can rotate around the map faster. So I’m I’m at a 50/50 here. Bring it. It’s always been a 50/50 whenever I see the Titans of MLBB, but this time I’m just I’m just so excited to see the entire throwback on the Louis Arlo combo in the side of Team Liquid Philippines. I feel like it’ll add another element of surprise, but hopefully it works for Team Liquid Philippines. All right, I hear you, Liquid Curly. Liquid Curly. Okay, I’m sorry, Falcons guy. No, don’t worry. Don’t worry. It’s going to be a good one. It’s a legendary face off here presenting. You got a rep. It is going to be the calvary for the 2% squad. That’s that’s a new title. So, we’re going to go into it into the land of dawn for game number one lower bracket finals best of seven casters. Let’s go. For more than a year now, we have been an audience to one of the most electrifying and mustwatch rivalries in all of MoB sports. This time only one of them moves forth through the brackets. This is a clash of titans once more in pursuit of immortality at your service. My name is Leo here with Egan and Bria. Ian, did you see the Phamas coming? The f I didn’t but considering it’s few the way he saves team Falcons acting as the captain. You cannot disregard Famis when it comes to team Falcons. Yeah, it’s been a it’s been a story line we’ve been discussing even yesterday with Leo on the panel how Team Falcon just seems to always be ready to save one another whenever it’s needed. And it’s not just that like individually they’re they’re really looking prepared. I mean look at those two purifies on F and Oakuin. Yeah, we saw this yesterday but in the hands of TPH2 uh I mean uh the vitalized also from Flap TZ with the Baksha but if you can recall correctly we’ve been seeing a trend wherein players actually you know use the heroes that they had trouble with. They want to prove something this time few using the Famis. This was the hero he used when they lost against TPH early on in the playoffs. Oh, that’s such a that’s such a throwback, right? It uh it just happened the other day and it has struggled indeed to quite some extent, but I think we could say the same for for the Freder that was also a losing hero for Team Liquid Philippines the first time they decide to show it up. But I feel like this time there is a significant difference in terms of how they’re able to um complement what the Fred Rin can offer, especially when it comes to the team fights. They’re not going to just leave anyone behind. And okay, that was close for a few. I think Liquid wants to start to demolish Falcon’s formation. That’s step one. You mentioned in the draft that Falcons uh want to do that. Liquid already starting the first turtle in a few. Put down a turtle. Another call by JP. Turtle started. Imagine if that hook connected and now the turtle has been started. Flap Z trying to zone him out. Here comes the unleash the beast coming in from KTZ. Who’s going to get the turtle? Sanji secures it. Here comes another realm from view. Will the class still continue on as TP disperse? No kills for Falcons. They lose the turtle in some freak of nature accident. Sanji scores it. What’s going on? Yeah. And team look at Philippines didn’t have to use much of their resources. There wasn’t a final slash that came in from Sanford. He just went in the members of team like team Falcons just to disturb them just to disrupt whatever plans they had and just dashed away used the vengeance out once he got the job done and fortunately for them they were actually able to secure it through Sanji but that was a close call for Team Liquid. A lot of action so far from the XP lane to the mid. First turtle spawned there. Second will be going back to that same spot. How about the gold lane? Let’s talk about that. How how perfect the BPI gold difference. Uh it looks like a lot of the gold is on where it matters for Falcons. They have a small lead. Very, very small lead. Yeah, this is what you expect from Super Marco, right? He’s been always the guy to be so consistent in terms of the farming. He almost never gets left behind or delayed on the farm, which is why this is surprising to see how OM probably really wants to get back at all the chances he wasn’t able to perform as much in the previous day. And that’s why he’s calling on Daddy JP. JP, let me try to get a free kill here. Owen to the rescue. So far, both teams just checking range. Making sure that this next turtle will be a better go cuz again, a freak of nature. Like, how often does that happen? Yeah, I mean, you mentioned that in terms of range and reach, Team Falcons has it all. In terms of reach, there’s the Baksha paired up with the Matilda and range from Super Marco, so they can be as aggressive as possible because the extended team fights clearly will favor later on Team Falcons. Damn straight. While Liquid wants to play in that short range, they’re playing with jabs. They’re playing with straits, maybe a few hooks, but nothing to check range really, except for that hook. That’s the only thing that they want. And I mean hook like a punch and a hook like an actual hook. Legit. Daddy JP changing the game. The last time we saw Franco in the playoffs was what in the hands of Yowi. And that was a valiant effort. But now second turtle spawning upper quarter. Flapy versus the scene. Carl Dy holding ground again. Flapy will try to go for the back. It’s going to be a bloody hunt onto F. Fuse is the first man down. Circling Eagle already committed down as Cows goes in might go for Sanford. The shockwave blast wasn’t enough to tear him down. Team Falcons lost their captain. Falcons back to business. Taking that turtle down. Half health. JP no ult maybe has a hook. Diversion play. Okay, now still Carl TZ will secure it. TP still wanting to go for more but right in the nick of time. A few comes in with another realm might go right after JP but the save from Carl Tezy was there. Energy eruption to break down two. Want to make it three as Sanji picks up two. A devastating finish for Falcons. Not a turtle, not a kill. It was all liquid and it was too clean of a call from Sanji as well. He laid out the diversion for Carl Tezy just to get to the turtle for him to be able to use the retribution. And that entire team fight took long enough. Yes, we did say that Falcons would be the ones winning if it took too long. But at that point, it was too long. They were no longer having their skills and Sanford was able to come back to the fight. You know, Carl Tzy has been doing a lot considering the fact that JP is on the Franco. You can expect him to go with the winter crown first uh for his priority item. So, Carl TZ will be the main tank of TLPH. Yeah, Natty JP was the pansy there. They were afraid of him, so they did not check what was in the bush. And it was a wild card to easy. What happened there? What? Oh, it seems like they found Owen, who was simply trying to provide some information as well for Super Marco since there there are a lot more faster rotations from Team Liquid Philippines happening right now. Oh god, Kyle Tezy right in Marco’s face. Here comes Kyle and Flap. Forced reaction there from Team Falcons to give enough space again for Super Marco. Here comes the shield unity. Flap Te getting caught out by four. You have to watch out for the hook cuz there is daddy chy again as Sachi picks up one more. Nether realm paired up with the ultimate coming in from Carl Cy, but he cannot out sustain anything TPH is throwing at them. A second off timing. It’s the same trap that Falcons fell for post turtle. That’s literally Oh my god. One more. Unbelievable timings from Team Liquid Philippines. And they’re looking for more. Diversion to Marco Stanford with a final slash feed to kill off the Sanji and a huge strong start for the cavalry. I think it’s safe to say this is what they call in the business a liquid stampede. We haven’t seen this yesterday. They missed doing this kind of gameplay. And it’s so interesting to see how confidently they answer back to hold on. Oh, even with the purify, you can’t do that with the ult of the Franco. F again will drop down in exchange for the for the turtle. Kyle Tzy will be getting a pirick victory for Falcons. They sacrifice F for a short-term goal. That is the last turtle of the game, but they lose top lane tier one. Liquid are winning trades. Yep. It’s been a very efficient early game so far. 10 is to one is the kill score. And you see how dominant team Liquid Philippines are playing this game. They’re making use of the surprise element yet again. Speaking of surprise, Blap Tezy did not expect that as the turret down bottom also goes down. The way Liquid is playing, I hate to say it, it seems personal. This is for the reverse sweep. This is for that sweep we lost yesterday. I mean, Falas had nothing to do with that, but they are proving to the cavalry, to the world, that this is how they play. Oh, Carl TZ jumps in. There comes the energy eruption and circling eagle as Super Mario wants to dish out the damage to try and save the mid lane turret, but the stampede cannot be contained at this point. Team Liquid Philippines are just able to deal with whatever strengths team Falcons has when it comes to the team fight, despite the presence of the unleash the beast, despite the presence of the Nether Realm. Team Falcons, they use all those resources at once, but it’s not enough. Netherrealm seems nothing but a blankie to Team Liquid Philippines ammo. Like this is legit firepower they’re playing with. I didn’t expect that much damage to come out of this lineup this quick. Another diversion being set up here by Sanji. Falcons not falling for it. Not a third time. Oh, but they have to watch out cuz Sanford has his flicker and ultimate ready to be expended. Oh, a response from team Falcons as Flap Teasy jumps in. Zammon Force dropped down. Kyle Tees with the unleash the beast. First man down. There is Flap Teasy. Few comes in with the around but a beautiful hick hook once again from JP. Super Marco survives open not for long. Two will fall down and exchange for two. Clash still going on. Kasi sets his eyes on Sanji might be able to take him down but Sanji the chef is cooking now. Oakland coming in. Circling Eagle trying to close the gap. Takes down JP and it’s him and Sanji. Car easy going for purple. Steals it. Sanji staying diversion. And Sanji’s going to back off now after that long clash. It seems like still TLPH won that trade. It was insane. There was a beautiful block that Carl Tezy already attempted to do. He tried to block off Flap Teas and whoever wanted to go in from Team Falcons, but there was another route that was available. So Kyle Tezy got his hands on OP on Sanji, he was able to find those two members and zone them long enough. So they or Team Liquid Philippines lack the necessary damage for the front lines for them to do and replicate what they’ve been constantly doing in the first few team fights. Yeah, and not to mention out of the five Falcons ready to charge in JP was on point with his Iron Hook. He caught the bulletproof. Margo couldn’t flicker out of range. There was just too much happening in the trenches in the paint as I like to call it. Liquid now starting to dance. They’re aware the Falcons are here. I don’t know if they know what’s in the Y brush. Out of range, out of vision. Few and Owen. Marco taking the position. Oh, we’re waiting for diversion here. Watch out for Sanji. Yeah, they got to watch out. Although they showed all of them. They’re going for flap. Trying to go for Frap. Energy Eruption already cast it down. Flap TZ popped his revitaliz caught Falcon out of their position and now they’re in full control of this Lord. Nothing up. Liquid sleeves save for now. Taking control of the pixel brush. Falcons though very cautious. They’re afraid. They’re respecting this almost 5,000 gold lead. Yeah, if it’s not going to come from the diversion of Sanji, it’s going to come from the final slash and flicker from Sanford. And Team Falcons are wary of that. That’s why they cannot just come in at any given moment. Sanford good with the zone. Top 8k gold uh health left for the lord. Kyle CZ jumps in with the unleash the beast and toy secures it. Final slash coming in from Sanford as they bring down Kyle Tees as well. They flicker in. They caught F. They sandwiched through and now a diversion to cut off the extra crowd of team falcons. Carl Hazy jumps in. Super Mark over the rapid. He going to pick up one but answers back and a wipe out for the cavalry. They take no prisoners. Dog walking falcons after the lord. Trading Sanji for it and everything else on the map. It was JP on that perfect timing with the bloody hunt. Kyle Teasy went in, but the moment they were about to fight for the red tree battle, there was the bloody hunt that was waiting for him. How often does it happen that the big dog gets the one bitten down on? That’s what he needed to bite again. JP has been a man possessed. He’s been in a trance. Bite F when it matters. Bite Marco when it matters. Now it’s bite Kyle when it matters. Now Team Falcons has to face the fact that the Lord is sieging in onto the top lane. With the lead established by Team Liquid, they can get not just one, but maybe even two inhibitor turrets. So, Team Falcons forced to defend this. Circling Eagle jumped in as Kyle Ty goes in with the Elite base. San Diego got demolish clutch at the realm. Sappers left to defend for himself against four members though. Will he be able to escape when a pull coming in from view will shut him down? Three members down for TPH. You mess with the dog, you get bit. Falcons clapping back. Yep. It was a very decisive call from Team Falcons. The moment they saw that Sanford already used that final slash and was able was unable to connect it onto anyone, they just immediately called for the engage. There went the circling eagle. There went the unleash the beast and last minute even the nether realm just so that they could fully commit even just onto Sanfort because they really want to take any kill that they can. At this point, it’s not even the kit that Liquid didn’t consider. It was just the damage output Falcons had. What was that? 6k between them. Yeah. And still Falcons were punching that hard. Yeah, Liquid got that coming. Yeah, unfortunately for Falcons, they only lost one inhibitor turret in exchange for three. Was able to even take away the mid lane turret plus the purple buff away from Carl Sezy. So now slowly they’re diminishing the lead and that is why Falcons took that fight up top. They knew that the wave in mid wouldn’t crash in so hard and they risked it. They let that turret go down to half health and now they can recover. They have about what about a minute of a piece on the map because Lord is spawning in about 30. Yeah. And if you saw the gold earlier between these two teams, it’s not that far. It’s not that too big of a gap that exists between Team Liquid Philippines and Falcons on a lanetolane basis. And this is probably why Team Falcons is just as confident to engage as well. Like they can rely on the damage that that they can get from Super Marco that they can rely on the damage that they can get from Kyle Tezy. And it’s surprising to see them in this kind of situation, despite the map control, despite the early dominance that Team Liquid Philippines has shown us. And that’s what’s terrifying because Team Falcons, their lineup, they can just go in all in at once. Maybe this is what I should have been worried about, not the early to midame damage, but late game cuz look, if OH gets picked off, if Sanji gets picked off, where’s the damage coming from? Yeah. Are you going to get smacked by a Fredin, by a Franco over and over again? And not to mention the heals that will be coming from F and of course from Owen. But again, the surprise factor is still there for Team Liquid Philippines. If Team Falcons wants to play a fiveman unit as a team, TPH has enough kit to to uh individualize the formation of team Falcons. Yep, they have complete item builds as well for their gold laners already. JP also picking up depleting time. So just one successful bloody hunt that they can eventually convert into a pickoff, then that’ll allow them to just proceed with the fights. Even though it becomes a prolonged team fight, it probably wouldn’t be a problem. All the more now I think JP has to bite the right target. And I prefer he bites down on damage dealers. Bite down on F, bite down on Marco, Kyle Tezy if you can, cuz if you bite down on a defensive character like this, oh my god, everyone’s jumping in with their ultimates. Oh, Carl Tezy secures the lord. Here comes the nether elf. JP bit fighting down with the winter crown also. But Kowi seeks the answers back when he unleash the be finally go for Sanji. Here comes the clap back from team Falcons. But Sansford with a beautiful final slash. The sacrificial play turned into a good play for the cavalry. A one for one trade. They back off. Sanji Falcons knows they shouldn’t be making this fight. Sanji’s in the base. Sanji all alone. The stallion might be able to do it though. But Kyle sees jumps in in the nick of time. But still TLPH holds on cuz they have a Lord up top. All right, I’ll say this is mission success. They got into the base and they’re going for it. Oh, he wants to go away for the tower with the wizard crowd play. The minions have spawned but every single member of team B’s now in the picture. Ofly able to do it though. A double kill for the MVP. Oh, we’re trying to defend. There’s a diversion play. A triple and Z takes game one from the flank. The cavalry goes for a stamp beat. Falcons did see coming. Game one goes to Team Liquid Philippines. Sanji was mad mad. He wanted to get that game ended right then and there. I didn’t see it. I was staring at the fight. Apparently, he went for the liberation play. Red Morocco. Did you see that? Oh, we see it. Just processing on believing. Yeah. Up here, we’re so close to the big screen in the arena. We were just both pointing at it. Oh, Sanji. Sanji. That was literally us. Yeah, that was literally us. Oh my goodness. That was insane. And it could have actually worked a lot faster. Yeah, exactly. The signature low year that has of Sanji. If he’s not MVP, I’m going to protest. I’m going to run down and scream. Why isn’t Sanji MVP? But I’m pretty sure he’s going to be. The man deserves it. Damn good low Yi game. and team liquid Philippines as a whole played so well around the Sandman as he put Team Falcons to sleep in game number one. He’s a Sandman. That’s cannon now guys. This is Sanji making it happen for Team Liquid Philippines. This is the hero that was preferred during the draft. As you can see, 100% kill participation for Team Liquid. This guy is making it happen. He sees everything with his eyes closed. That’s how cold bloodooded Sanji is. He was so good in this game and honestly it was his positioning in the first two turtle fights of the game that gave so much difficulty for Falcons as to why they could not get the snowball that they wanted because every time well turtle number one of course this is how Sanji sees the game. That’s exactly the POV. this POV Sanji with he is with his eyes closed super focused on where the fights need to happen and uh double kill early on this was turtle fight number two but turtle fight number one saw the same story and every time Sanji was just there with really good positioning he would get caught out a couple of times literally two times but it was him being able to number one turtle fight number one he was the one who miraculously got the last hit on the turtle which meant that team liquid had shields which meant Fal Falcons couldn’t convert into kills. Team fight number two for turtle number two. We saw that it was Sanji holding a really good angle in the shrub. The Falcons just could not find that Loi and they were just wondering why are these duality procs binding us in the behind every time he won a trick team fight. And for the rest of the game it was just the diversion game that Sanji brought to the table. Yeah, it was super low key as well for Daddy JP and Sanford pushing and pulling people where they need to be for those duality pros to actually make make a difference. Yeah, that’s actually a great point. Uh with the Arlot and the Franco together, it was like this time it was the calvary, the horses rounding up Falcons saying, “Get over here. Stay right there and we’re just going to blast you with AoE damage.” Exactly. And it also helped so much. It it made it so hard for KT’s Lucas to actually hit the right targets. You can see the movement, right? They’re dodging those shockwave blasts time and time again. Yeah. And the diversion player at the end that Sanji decided to call meant that Falcons had even more pressure because I believe F and it was another member of Team Falcons that could not recall back home because another member of Team Liquid, I could be wrong, it could have been Carl Tezy that was stopping them from going home. It was either Carl or Sanford, but Team Liquid overall played the much better game. What we said earlier in the draft, Team Liquid Philippines has a much better team fighting comp sticking close together. Falcons wanted to fight into that and they failed a lot in the early to mid game. Yeah, not going to lie as well. I like what Leo said where you know what I’m we might worry about damage here later on in the game cuz when you get picked up when OM gets picked off, you’re going to be really lacking. But you know what? Team Liquid Philippines kind of really probably noticed that and said, “You know what, guys? You got to finish this right here, right now.” Yeah. And a quick throwback to the meta that for the longest time people got so tired of cuz that’s all we saw with the tanky fighter jungler era. Uh during that time, we saw a fall off in the marksmen that dealt damage in bursts. What rose were marksmen that could deal continuous basic attack damage, i.e. the Claude uh being that being the best time for being a Claude player. Yeah, even Melissa. So, Carrie, those heroes are good with longer team fights. Well, yes, Granger is still one of the best marksmen in the game. But it just goes to show Team Link and Philippines went into this thinking, all right, how do we build a lineup that would make the Granger struggle that even though Super Marco dealt 55,000 damage here, it would feel like he’s not doing enough. Like we look at the game and think he could do a little bit more. Where is that damage? It’s because he deals damages in burst. He’s not like a carry. He’s not like a claw. That’s true. Again, Super Marco here with the flicker had to dodge final slashes. Had to dodge hooks. Had to dodge bloody hunts. energy eruption from time to time. Imagine how hard it was for a Granger to actually do any damage here. Yeah, it’s so difficult here considering that Falcon’s drafted a lineup that are very dive. Once Flap teasy decides to pull the trigger in a fight alongside Owen, it’s Super Marco is going to be left behind. 811 GPM for Super Marco. Doesn’t stop him though from being a rich guy. Yeah, he was still able to farm. He did a tremendous job at that because Team Liquid Philippines, this is the trade-off that you get when you’re roaming together as a five, four person hit squad alongside your gold laner. The gold laner’s farm isn’t going to be as high as the opposing gold laner because the opposing gold laner is trying to catch up with minion waves and creep kills. Meanwhile, yes, you’re getting gold as the gold laner going around with the rest of the team getting kills, but you don’t get as much gold if you were getting farm from the creeps and minions instead. And it’s so hard for Super Marco as well to get stacks on the the sky piercer because the team in general had a hard time getting kills for him because he couldn’t really go through and he was so busy dipping and dodging. So that’s a big problem, right? So we’re going to talk a little bit more about how maybe the Super Marco and the rest of the team were able to do it, but so far so good. At least uh he was able to get the rea guy. And in fairness, there was a point where the lead shrunk down almost 2.5k around the end there. You know, maybe save for that last minute play from TPH. That could have been still a very close game. Yeah. Uh Team Liquid Philippines decided to play with their best strength, which is just being able to open up the map so well with Aloi. So for the side of Falcons now, I think they’re not going to give that low anymore. They should. I that that is enough warning. At that point, the whole team has to gather together. Even the coach has to admit Yalis never give the Lo Yi to Sanji and that might become the biggest trade of this game because F plays a very mean Loi as well. So we’re now going to be looking at the center of the map as the key trade in the draft which mid laners are going to get picked up in the final compositions. That’s right. Uh Chip might be in the in the docket if that happens. So we’ll see. These both those things love the global. So for the meantime though, let’s take a breather guys. Let’s have a little bit of a fun here in the Champions Arena. Throw it over to our host. We got a few special guests for you. AP Esports season 87. Everyone, please give it up for Delasal University.

So panel, I told you we got a lot of surprises for you guys later on. And this is it. These are our champions for UAP season 87. Uh that’s Delal University. And of course, we got ML48. This uh this thing is national by the way. That was that was my alma matter. There you go. So yeah. So this is how it goes. It goes D LSU. So I still remember. There you go. Animal Lasal. So, a lot of star power. That’s why that’s why you really are attracted to the green. Yeah. Huh. That explains a lot. Yeah, that explains. Yeah, that’s the colors of my old university matter. It was also green and white. That’s right. And sometimes yellow for the alternative jerseys, huh? All right, that explains a little while crossing that. One less thing to talk about with my therapist. We’ll talk about that later. So, right now, obviously, it’s it’s been a very interesting to say the least way to bring the old TLPH back. Oh, yeah. Into the into the playoffs, right? This is the TPH that we have been waiting for and the TPH that we actually saw for the majority of the regular season. Yeah. And it just so feels it feels vindicating, you know, everything that we discussed uh heading into the draft. We saw it. Sanford on a hero that can deal more damage. That’s what Arlot brings to the table. And then with Team Liquid drawing back and really pulling the curtains, trying to stretch out what they could bring to the meta with the heroes that they decided to pick up. Exactly what we saw, what we asked for from Team Liquid Philippines to show in this lower bracket finals. They’ve already shown right away in game number one. They have set the bar. It is going to be up to Falcons now to follow that because if this Liquid Stampede continues, that’s going to be terrifying. It is going to be terrifying for Falcon’s guy like you. Oh yes, with what you’re seeing here, we’re going to have to bring in Brigida cuz we are seeing old style old school drafting here for TLPH. Let’s see if they’re going to continue this here again. Not the vendetta yet. We’re looking for that vendetta maybe later on for Sanford bring it back that flame. But T, we’re going to have to see how Falcons brings up. How are you doing? Hello Brigadudart, Renmar, Marians, everyone in the chat. What did I say? But yeah, it’s been a it’s been a really uh I don’t know surprising draft for Team Liquid Philippines, especially in game number one. I can I can’t imagine that they’ve been able to plan all that overnight. Yeah. Uh great shifts and as we mentioned earlier right away the Loi getting taken out. Rockart mentioned the chip still taken out here by Falcons while team liquid Philippines have taken out some of the strengths of Falcons which is the jungle hero pool of Kyle teasy and taking away the Ka a strong flex pick for Falcons. So speaking of flex are they going to try to go into this with a box rush or go for the juice in for few? Yeah that’s something we’re going to look at cuz like you mentioned earlier was banned out by team Falcon very early on. So weirdly enough even the chip. So, no global presence available except for maybe the moscom later on. So, we’ll see if that’s going to be on the docket. I’m pretty sure Super Mario and would love to pick that up. Yeah. Or maybe the Granger, which will not be the option. It’s going to be the Ducian indeed. And with a Har, Team Liquid Philippines will be able to stay away that Granger we just mentioned. So, Super Marco will have to use something else for this game after how many games of already using the Granger. There’s no Harris as well. So, yeah, as you mentioned, it’s the Moskov and the carry so far that he’s been playing here in the playoffs. Yeah, I think Falcons can go to the second phase without picking up their gold laner just yet. Yep. Uh considering that the Farsa is still available for TPH to pick at the pick number three, which would mean a one- one could be turned off. Plus, if Team Liquid Philippines decide to already show that they’re going to be going for the tanky front to back lineup again, then Falcons can decide to pick up the 1-1 and or carry later on. So, save the Super Marco pick for later. Pick up a flex here and your jungler for Kyle TZ if possible. Maybe the Hayabusa. Oh, very has been really uh on fire so far in the playoffs. I think he’s only not showed up in like maybe one or two drafts. So far, every single team has loved to pick up the mdang. Um, Onyx Philippines also has, you know, Dar when he was guesting here, he highlighted that damage down is a real deal. So maybe we’ll see that sometime here, but so far the Kakashi Hayabusa picked up for Falcon. And I loved how they picked this up here since Redmar did mention the Farsa. So that can make team liquid Philippines think twice about whether or not they want to pick it up in this part of the draft since they have to expect that there is going to be a fara or there is going to be a hayabusa but they still decide to pick up the fara nonetheless. Yeah. Uh they’re willing to take that trade. Team look at Philippines don’t overthink it. Second half of the draft I think they we go they take out the 1-1. Uh as expected even though they picked up the fara for farsa for themselves. This is a double-edged sword because Team Liquid Philippines are now telling Falcons, “Hey, we’re probably going to go slow front to back again.” Yeah. Historically, Forsa as well, like just very vulnerable to Hayabusas in general as well as Madam. Oh, okay. So, they take out the Lucas tool, which uh well, the hero that Kyle Tezy did pick up earlier. And that’s that’s actually one of the questions as well into the draft heading into the second phase. Like where does this Baksha go for Team Liquid Philippines because at least in the playoffs I feel this is the first time that they’ll actually be picking up the Baksha. Yeah. Okay. With them banning out the Moscow N11 that leaves Batrix and Carrie for Falcons. Noah team liquid Philippines go for either the ling or the lance. Oh, I want the lance. I’ll the lance, too. Give me the lance a lot, Liquid. I love that. It’s actually a hero that wins pretty well against a Hayabusa. You know, you can kind of just eyeframe out of a shadow kill. You can also just go ahead and take out that zushion when you can. Exactly. Love it. I love that. Yeah. Not going to be a folks here. Fobious man out at the very last. And if ever there’s a one- one pick coming, no, there’s no one- one pick anymore. But regardless of whatever uh marksman decides to show up for Team Falcons, right, they’ll have a way to access it easily aside from the Farsa and the Granger, which are already plenty of range for Team Liquid Philippines. So, they save that hero for last. Like, be it the ROR or the jungler for Team Liquid Philippines. We aren’t entirely sure just yet. Yeah. All right. We already saw Rome Hilda before coming from Team Liquid, but I think that is an XP laner for Sanford. Most likely, most likely. Right. Right. We keep saying this, you know, but whenever we say that, there are just times where, you know, it doesn’t happen. So, I’m just going to stay open. But with the picks right now, I feel like Carrie seems like a really good option against a Hilda. Uh Glint is not out in the picture just yet. But yeah, lanes are very hard right now. Maybe if Super Mario just wants to look at the matchup. Plus, it’s going to be easier for him to avoid the feathered air strikes the lane. Yeah, cuz with the bayrix and the carry, they’re a little bit too slow. Oh, what? What? They still go Clint. Good call that rock hard. By the way, I I really feel like you’re right. I actually would have loved the airfield, but yeah, the Clint even in the hands of counter has been really uh in inefficient, I would say. That ling that you mentioned as well. Yeah. So, the best choices they could go for at that point honestly for Carl Ties was he was either the ling or the landlord. Yeah. Uh, and even more so now with that last pick linga, I feel like this Clint might have a hard time. It will. It looks like it will. It has to consider the far side. It has to consider the ling. And not just that, the backa just constantly trying to hunt him down. I mean, he does have some mobility skills, but there are just countless of ways for team liquidies to actually catch up. So, in the clash of the titans here in the panel, I think the liquid gurly and falas are in agreement. Liquid won the draft. Yep, pretty much. Even I would agree with that one 100%. Unless Super Mario can just pull off some really crazy stuff and make sure that his blend stays relevant all throughout the game. But then again, history has proven that’s very difficult. Yeah. So, let’s throw it over to our Land of Dawn. See how Falcons give up. Game two in this best of seven. First of the board is Liquid. Can Falcons with a very specific draft get on the board and equalize at your service. My name is Leo here with Inan and Brigitta to bring you the action. If I may weigh in. I agree on face value. Liquid won the draft. But Ingan, do you agree with me that these picks by Falcons are specific to them? Like they know how to use these tools to get back into the series. Yeah. Not to mention, you know, when uh Flap teasy started to use these some sort of the badangs, the ones that require a lot of highly mechanical skills, he would default to the bakshas, the glues, whenever he doesn’t feel like it. So, in this case, he can be the bridge for Super Marco to have his power spike early on and shout the damage despite the high mobility that uh DLPH has with their lineup. Yeah. Yeah. And part of me is starting to consider what happens if the team fights take too long. Like what if they just run for more than a couple of seconds for both team Falcons and Team Liquid Philippines, right? Like it looks to me that Team Falcons, their lineup might actually be somehow built for that to some extent, too. That’s what I’m saying. The picks that Falcons went into game number two with are picks that have low down time. I like to call it. Um they’re picks that again don’t ultimately just rely on their ultimate. Uh and it makes sense. Look at Final Cut stats all throughout season 15, right? They’re number one in kills, number one in assists, and when it comes down to the late game, they are number one in lord control, just second in total lord kills. But again, when it comes down to those big dances, those those team fights that last a while, you know, Falcon, they let you know that they are here. Yeah. One of the key reasons why is of course Owen is with his Badang again. Signature of the Uniggo cousins and we who can forget their game yesterday. The game ending set that Owen had with the Badang that turned things around in their favor. Could happen now. Mhm. He said two two here. Two two. I got two. Oh, actually, especially now that I feel they’ll have a lot more means to create that space, you know? I mean, earlier it felt like they were mostly mid-range, so they always had to close in. But now, I feel like there’s a better distribution in terms of the positions we can expect from them to come from when the team fight actually happens later on. Yeah, better spatial coverage. When you’re up front and personal, you got Owen. When you’re at mid-range and you want to control where your opponent’s going to go, you got few doing this. Oh my lord, Sanji at half. They’re giving Sanji such a hard time right now. of the game one MVP even popped this purify early on. So now Team Falcon’s resorting back to their control over the mid lane. Yeah, and honestly this is one of the biggest um differences in game number one. Team Liquid Philippines were always pressuring the mid lanes. They were always having an eye on either few on whatever you get to actually show yourself up in. And it it can be the same with Sanford on the Hilda, but there’s less there, you know, final slash. There’s less surprise, there’s less threat for an immediate pickoff. Yeah, not to me. Oh, wait a minute though. Clap teasy here alongside Kyle Tezy will draw the first blood with a weak shadow kill onto Sanford. Oh, Kyle Ty coming up as well. Ky jumps in. Templades on Kyle Ty. No shadow, so he might be able to take him down. That was worth the trade for Team Liquid Philippines. again. Oak alongside F just right on Q brings down JP. Nothing comes for free. Falcons able to clap back. Come out on top. Two to one. Yeah, and just as we mentioned how Team Liquid Philippines their fast rotations coming out of the exp lane still might be one of their strengths. Team Falcons decide to focus on that lane first. And just when there was an immediate response from Carl Tezy, who would have expected that there could be enough ways for Flap to actually hold the two of them under that turret? Uh that’s the beauty of the new glue. Uh I was tinkering with it earlier this week and I’m like, how is this legal? How how how is already changing a very strong hero into a stronger hero? Uh and that’s why Liquid, they’re always keeping their eyes on bottom lane on XP. Yeah, I mean who could forget the performance of Kirk yesterday with the glue flawless KDA. So now if Flap teasy channels his inner Kirk things could go well for team Falcons as they start things off with this turtle. Sanford and JP providing a lot of vision here for Carl Tezy who’s going to get the turtle first cuz Kyle Tezy just got zoned out but he has a shadow. He might go in again. Here comes the Tempest of Blades now as he trying to go for more. First blood drawn again for Kyle Tezy onto Satford. make it too cuz Obin picks up Carl’s teas as well and they’re not even done. Flap teasy with the spread spread few also open was able to walk away and JP no he got surrounded by three and lifted up by few to feed off the kill to Kyle as the great Wignasha said disgusting. What is Fal doing with this lineup with a seal? What? Grand Theft Turtle for the young goat. Falsus took too long. They were relishing in the victory and then in comes Carl. And to be fair, that was already one of the things we talked about. We saw it in action. The team fight took too long. Falcons were actually able to win it out. But it took too long that Carl Tezy with a very short death timers that we have was able to get back into that turtle pit and secure it for Team Liquid Philippines. The ultimate opportunist much like Seth Rollins in Mania. He’s coming. That was turtle number one, folks. Turtle number one. It blindsided them again, but still they were able to pick up three or four kills during that trade. So, Team Falcon still has a 1.6k 6k gold lead and they’re reverting back again to the control of the mid lane cuz even Sanji’s having a hard time today. Yeah. And it’s honestly interesting to see Team Liquid Philippines still try to go for the fights, go for the contests, even though we acknowledge the fact that it might take a little more time for them. They’re on the ling and yes, it is an assassin. Yes, there is some early game presence, but the items are a necessity for you to feel the full threat of this hero. I guess it’s a blessing in disguise that Carl Tezy is who he is and he always looks for these little advantages. It keeps Falcon’s lead down to a manageable thousand thousand and a half. And yeah, you can show face, but when you’re up against few who’s playing the way he is, I think that Liquid Stamp game one woke him up. Yeah. And I mean, even if you’re going to look at the match up between Flapy and Sanford, Sanford pretty much you cannot see that Sanford’s freely roaming or being the secondary ro right now. He can’t as the he can’t. Oh, action in mid. Action in mid. Kyle Tezy already popped the wiggy shadow kill. JB soaking up the damage, but F comes in with the land flare. Flap. Ty jumps in once again as Salford goes for the back, but F has his crimson beacon. Ky got stunned out. Point blank shot right in the face as O brings him down. Oh, they’re still going. JP had flap on him. Carl Dy looking to get some retribution. Oh, Oen had to pop his ultimate to delay the attack of TP. Except the blades casted down by Carl Ty had to break down Ogen. That’s one member down again for Team Falcons. Oh, was too free and Team Liquid Philippines had all quad shadows covered. So, wherever Kyle TZ wanted to go for an escape, there was at least one member of Team Liquid Philippines ready to answer back. But what was that? How did Sanji All right, it was off camera. Who knows what is was in the vision of Sanji? He popped the better air strike for a snipe on F. You know, we were just talking about that the the lineup of TPH compared to game number one lacks surprises cuz they don’t have the Franco, they don’t have the Arlet, but Carl Tezy surprises with a with a solo turtle kill. But now KZ with a winky shadow kill. Sanji was able to wings by wings. And just like that, also Sanji never fails to amaze us with a solo kill onto F a while ago. Not even using the purify. So he’s fully equipped for what may happen in this next objective which clearly both of these teams are looking to set up for Lapis are already within the area and so are JB and Sanport. All right, we’re back to equilibrium. Falcons can contest. Liquid stole the last one, but it looks like this has their name on it. Kyle Tezy spots Sanford. Now we’re doing we’re seeing Sanford do his thing zoning out Kyle Ty to give enough space for Carl Tezy for an uncontested turtle take a while ago before or after even the turtle steal of Carl Tezy Falcon was looking at the 1.6k gold lead and now it’s on the side of TP. Exactly. It’s it’s the way the the lead has shifted so fast but now Team Falcon they’re trying to look for ways to regain it back. It seems like this is just pure determination from Team Liquid Philippines. They’re just not let letting anything go through. The Filipino sniper catch and few again. Oh, and now Carl Tezy on Super Marco. He was able to dodge it out, but here comes the sun from JP. Even flickers in. Oh, with a counter though as Super Marco falls down. Here comes CPH once again. And we can shadow kill cast down. Sachi pops his purify. JP caught in the middle and I think Flap was able to grab grab onto JP. The clash will disperse here, but TP, they got two kills. Not done. Shadow in. Got the stun. And now the counter from Oen. And now the from Sanji. And a killing spree for our MVP. O still knocking down turrets. Done. Wa yet. Imagine that. It could have looked so good for team Falcons. That was a beautiful fist break or just the fist crack coming in from Obin to capture Carl Tezy and actually shut him down. But look at how Team Liquid Philippines decided to still proceed with the fight. But hold on. F does he want to go for this? Oh with the defiance sword. Another stun from JP as he brings down F. Owen with a beautiful counter though as San was able to flick around. Sanji again with another air strike to stop team Falcons from extending further. And now TP are looking at the 3k gold lead. Almost all extended clashes favor them. Only God knows when these teams will stop fighting. They will start and stop. Start and stop and then maybe they’ll make their minds and go for something. I think that’s what mid was all about. Liquid went straight for that tier one up top when they said we had enough and then they kept going. Yeah. And it really feels like it’s always been Team Liquid starting the fight. It’s always them looking for all the fights to happen against Team Falcons. Whereas we haven’t seen any clear intention from Team Falcons just yet to be the ones first where we haven’t seen Owen go in just yet with a flick or fist break this combo to capture anyone. At most it’s probably few, but earlier it felt like it was zoning. Now Sanji cast the feathered air strike immediately bursted down. and Owen. They’re trying to go for a response with that weak shadow kill. But JP just has that revitaliz to save everyone and Owen falls down like a herd of stallions. Liquid just clump up whenever Kyle presses the shadow kill. That’s the what? Third time that they’ve done this defensive maneuver. Third time to P playing as one unit and now taking full control of the game. 3.6k gold lead already. And look at the gold difference between the two gold leaders. almost 1.5k. That’s a lot. We haven’t seen the Clint really provide much for team Falcon just yet despite the presence of already the endless battle and the malefic roar. And JP has already built the raging armor and the dreadnot. So, he’s pretty much able to tank a lot of the damage that will come in from Falcons because mostly those who are going to go up front are flap and view. And now that’s just all the more reason for Team Falcons to carefully consider what they’re doing next. Team Falcons, I don’t know if they’re considering even a contest. In my books, I wouldn’t. You’re down 4K. Liquid has full control of the pit. JP gets caught here. They’re going to look for a trade. Oh, shuts down. Oh, but gets the lord. The collapse of T started out by JP with a grab. grab and now flaps easy fizz off the kill to Super Marco. Technically, they didn’t contest. They just went straight for the turn. It was a beautiful call from Master Owen, seeing how grouped up together Team Liquid Philippines was and looking for the right targets. Both JP and OH, but more so on Ohe. Them being able to take him out meant a lot for Team Falcons. Now they transition to a mid lane turret takedown. Lord up top. Carl teasy waiting for the perfect opportunity strike. Sand with the feather. He goes in the middle. Tempest of blades cast it down as O has been shut down. Champion chasing after F. Flapsy gone as well. Super Marco bursted by the MVP. F got caught. Has the crimson beacon. Sanford runs after him. Lantern flare is there but F and Kyle TZY are left. Oh, anime fight. Kyle Dy back and out. He knows the massive losses across the board. Three down for free. Liquid find a clap back, but they still have to deal with a lord. And those clap backs just come in too fast. Like be it Team Falcons, be it Team Liquid Philippines, the moment you make even just the slightest mistake or if you take a bit more longer than you should, then you could expect the immediate response is already coming in. If we would look at that instant replay earlier, Team Falcons, they just wanted to take down this mid tier, too. But Carl Teasy holding that brush alongside every single member of Team Liquid Philippines calling for an engage. They just knew they had the advantage and they took out so many members of Team Falcons. Call it punitive action. Falcons did steal a few kills, did steal away the lord when Liquid was up by 4K. Who saw that coming? No one saw that coming. Save for Falcons. Owen rather saw that coming cuz he did this yesterday with this specific hero the badang. If you give Owen the flicker and the fist break fist crack things could change for team Falcon that they don’t lack the damage to burst down any of the members of TP. But again if they stay too long TLP they win the extended fights. Yeah and that’s looking a bit more better for um Team Liquid Philippines right now since OH already picked up the Wind of Nature as well. They only have to be extra careful in terms of positioning, but so long as Sanford is able to provide the necessary information, unlike earlier where it feels like no one was watching the mid, no one was keeping an eye on the mid brushes, then it’ll be uh more difficult for Owen to play around with the angles or the potential setups later on. In that last Lord fight, Falcons seem to have understand how TPH were playing more like a herd clumped up. Now it’s Liquid’s turn. Evolve once again mid series. How can they change up their tactics, their formations, their movement so they don’t get punished as hard by the master item check here? So far, Marco is catching up to OH, but I’m thinking stacks wise. I’m thinking like just pure raw damage and lethality. Oh, still trumps the bulletproof. Yep, I think he got shut down uh in the middle of his six kills. So, that’s not the full 60 stacks that you would expect from a sky piercer. But again, in terms of survivability, both gold laners have their wind of natures ready, so you can keep an eye out of that if ever Owen manages to catch OB or even JP and Sanji. But now they try to go for Sanford as CP starts things off with this Lord. All right, half health. The dance has begun. Approaching the point of no return. We’re still waiting for KZ. He dashes in, but oh gets the lord in exchange for JP. He pops his revitalize. might even be able to walk away as Sanford preventing Owen from a setup and disrupting the feather air strike of Sanji. And now OM chasing after flap te the daddy has been saved but Owen jumps in as well. Sanford from the back might be able to cast that ultimate. Carl Sey jumps in temples of blades here and now and Kyle Tezy enters in with the wiki shadow kill but they share out the damage. One more hit on a JP and no casualties for the cavalry. They’ll have to defend. Team Fakos has to defend for chasing for Sanford. Will Super Fako get the kill? And he does the bulletproof again in the nick of time was able to get Sanford. And with that kill, TLPH won’t be able to use this lord. Fade away. Ricochet shot by the bulletproof keeping Falcons in the game. A few punished movements from Liquid. Again, in the heat of battle, you’re going to want to get what you can. And you’re going to want to snowball and punish your opponents when they overextend. Carl Tezy committed Tempest of Blades to take down what was that? Owen or Flap Teas? Someone who you shouldn’t use your ult. I think it was Owen. Yep. And honestly, that entire decision from Team Liquid Philippines to just burst down the objective. It normally would be dangerous with very limited information, but it was so fortunate that Team Falcons, they were actually really taking their time. Open had to come in from the other side of the right mid bush. But even for even for Kyle, he wasn’t ready to go just yet. And speaking of Kyle. Oh, fortunately for Ky was able to shadow out. Now commit the shadow kill off to Sag and Master Oak with a beautiful setup. Kyle CZ is going to fall down though. I immortality popped. Now they’re trying to go for more. And double kill coming in from Ow. He wants to make it three. Flap teasy caught in a mix. Carl Cy jumps in as well. One more hit on Flap Teasy. It’s going to be a two for one trade. Massive for Liquid here. They could have definitely lost more and Kyle Tezy. Ever the artist on the assassins went in isolated Sanji went for the shadow kill but only found one. And how lucky or how fortunate is is it for TLPH that OB wasn’t part of the setup. So they had the damage. They had ways to answer back. Even though Master Obin went in and nearly got that perfect setup. K1 didn’t even have a flicker. You’re right, Brigida. He was fortunate. He was blessed. They were they were more than lucky. There was someone out there looking out for K1. And please don’t kill him. Please don’t kill him. 61 stacks. Yeah. And that’s because again with the kit of his hero, he has unlimited reach, especially towards the 17minute mark now. So he doesn’t need to be in close combat to dish out the damage up against team Falcons. Sonata on Sonata on Sonata. Now even the rap city was more than enough. Slowly but surely Falcons can position themselves again uh into a point where they’ll they’ll force TPH to respond. But it’s Liquid who’s being proactive right now. Lord began. Sanford gets caught up. Good grab grab on Flapzy on to Sanford. And now JP getting caught in a mix. Owin waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike. He doesn’t know where he is. JP pops his revitalizer already. Got caught by the lantern flare. One member down for TLP. Owen commits the ultimate onto Saturn. Paired up with Fuse lantern flare. Super Marco finishes the job as they bring down two. That’s free. Two for free. I don’t think Liquid should take this fight now. Kyle TZ. Okay, there was a winter crown play coming in from Sachi. Of delivering the rapsidities though. Super Mario from the back. He spots OP. Wind of nature battle between the two gold laners. He pops Sanji as well. And the chase is on. Open on to Carl. Of immortality pop and view delivers the final blow to the MVP for one. And Carl Dy going two for one, three v one. That was disastrous for Liquid. It was very disastrous. Imagine not being able to anticipate in advance whatever setups Team Falcons were going for. But it was it wasn’t really the setups honestly. It was the way Team Liquid Philippines decided to take their time again tanking the front lines. But what they don’t know is that Super Marco is already online. He has a full build on the Clint. JP doing his best to delay and give enough information for Topa. Lantern flare is there. He escapes. Oh, Gwen with the combo. Forced out the Templars of Blade. Is this enough damage? Casey finds Super Marco. A killing spree for the young goat as stand for tanking up the damage. And now the sh the tides have shifted again to TP. And from out of nowhere it becomes a 3v3 again. A 4 v3, a 5v3. Liquid has failed to take the lord but recovered well enough to push back Falcons from stealing it. And it felt like Carl TZ immediately knew they had to find a way to deal with Super Marco. and he was the only guy they took out from team Falcons. JP this time around it was a much more rewarding for of him to sustain all that damage and he was the guy that Falcons needed to take that lore. That’s why Liquid got it for free. Falcons hesitated. This is the result of numerous tournaments, numerous grand finals, numerous crucial matches between these two teams. Despite not having enough information, they rely on the tendencies that they found out about each other. That’s why this game is long. It’s approaching the 20 minute mark and it’s still a close fight. For the past 400 days, these two in some version of these lineups have gone all around the world and played world class MLBB. And today they prove that they can keep going. They can keep changing the game. A force retreat for Kyle and Owen. Watch out for Owen. It’s the master really who changes the tide of these fights. But is the damage going to be enough though? Even if Owen managed Oh, with the crowd play coming in from uh Sanji there, but Flap TD flickers in to bring down Sanji. Now they pick up Sford force out a lot of flickers. Lur was able to burst down the inhibitor in the middle lane as F and Flap TD working on Cop. One member down for the cavalry. Bring it was not wise. They spent so much just to take down Sanji. They didn’t even protect that mid lane. Yeah, they lost the mid lane turret. However, they were able to deny that Lord Siege Team Liquid Philippines could have definitely went for if ever they still had all their members and all their resources complete. And now this allows for a little more breathing room for Team Falcons, but they definitely should be the ones to find the team fights to find the more favorable fights later on. Ooh. Uh, may I say the fact that no flicker safer flap teasy was spent in that taked down in that defense in mid. So maybe, just maybe, Falcons are setting something up. And fortunately for them also, fortunately for them, it was the mid lane inhibitor turret that got taken down. So Carl Te’s potential split pushes can be managed by Team Falcons. Yep. Now we’re already approaching that point in the game. It’s the fourth lord, by the way. Yeah. Where everyone is just full builds, where everything doesn’t matter anymore, where it’s ultimately execution once again. And the constant adapting you do in game that it that feels like both of these teams as time progresses, as time goes by, they just constantly know how to attack one another. And the seesaw battle is just so real. Amazing map control by Team Falcons. Despite losing out on their mid lane, getting penetrated there, inhibitor taken down, they still managed to make the map go blue. And this is in front of a Hilda, in front of a ling, in front of a Fara. How do they do that? Every single time we think that Team Liquid Philippines have already taken control even of the upcoming objectives, even of the setups, Team Apple just find a way. Oh, easy. Guilty. A charge of Grand Theft Purple. How that’s revenge for Carl Tezy taking away their turtle early on in this game. And now no purple buff for Carl Tezy in the potentially last lord dance that we’ll see for game number two. That’s lethal. Uh going into a fight without a purple for a ling this late into the game with these high stakes involved. Carl Dy won’t he it’s just let’s just say they can’t fight. Yeah, it’s hard. This is going to be a very difficult decision for Team Liquid Philippines. And there’s the conceal already coming in from Owen. They’re they’re already positioning themselves. And they might find Oh, walks in. Camera switch. Catches Om. pops his immortality. Kazy makes sure to deliver the final kill. A sacrificial play for Oakwin there to keep TPH at bay. Immortality pop. Safford leading the charge. Saji delivers the final kill. JP immortality bomb. Sansford caught in a mix once again. F continuing with the lantern flare might be able to pick up Sansford but a winter crown play is there. Super Mario with a grenade for San Dieers back with a feather air strike to shut down to bulletproof. A clutch winter play from view and Sanji but from the back. The young goat making plays for CL. Old allies Carl Dy and Flapy meeting on the battlefield. Flap DZ running away. Retribution spent by Carl popping the immortality and surrounded by two. No escape for Flap, but Kyle Tezy now in the picture. He’s all alone. CLPH has three. An emotional roller coaster in the span of a minute. They caught Ohe, but now they’re staring down the barrel of a push in mid. No need for the Lord. Minions onto the middle lane. Kyle Tezy against his idol. Shadow kill already casted. might be able to clear it out and he bought enough time. Insane. A few minutes back, a few seconds back to buy and sells the decisions to stay in this game. And now they’re trying to purse the Lord. But Goldwin and Kyle, they’re still within the area. But for Master Owen, the clutch is Lord in his entire career. We witness it here. The capacity crowd in the Champions Arena. Iraq, Cavalry, Falcons, Nest, everyone in between just losing their collective minds. How? And I was just saying fortunately Kyle is far. Fortunately, there’s no way he could catch up. But it was Owen all along who could get the job done. Mentally speaking, you have to recover. You can’t let yourself be haunted by the fact that a ror stole away your lord. This is an evolved lord. And now they have to defend. Kasi going to the flank. Just cutting that wave in mid. Oh, they’re going to need every bit of Carl Tezy here as the Lord approaches up top. Clears the inhibitor. Fluff teas jumps in. Sanji, but got interrupted by Kyle Tezy. Oh, with disrupting TP. Carl Sey wanted to go for more. Super Marco pops his nature. He still has his immortality. Only JP got lost and they were able to clear out the lord. A great defense shown to us by Team Liquid Philippines. For now, they’re able to deny and delay team Falcons and their attempts. But there are still waves coming in from the sides that they successfully are able to deal with. It is just so good that they’re able to maximize the ling at this point because if not, it would have been terrible for Team Liquid. Oh, minions sieging in onto the bottom lane. Everyone entering with their ultimates. Clap. TZ with his spread call. T was able to pop a lot of immortalities. Sanji able to dish out the feathered air strike. A lot of resources expended on team Falcon side. Oh, they’ve accepted the fact that Flapy went in too deep. Better lose one than two or three. Marco and F were at the brink of death. Falcons survived. They could have been punished so much harder. But Liquid, I wonder what their thoughts are on this next lord spawning in 20. You know, this is the first time in this playoffs I actually saw a death timer in 70 seconds. That’s how long our game is right now. As we approach this 27 minute mark, 10 seconds, Lord will spawn. And they team Falcons, they need for this potential fight. I think the longest we’ve ever seen was in day one. But wait, Sanji picks off Marco. The Lone Stallion made an amazing solo play to pick off the man regarded as the bulletproof as TP takes away the last potential lord. How did Sanji get into that position? But all the more, how was Super Marco so far away from the others? That play, it’s a shame we did not see it as it happened. That play by Sanji made that catch by JP on O’Have earlier in the purple side buff of Liquids look like child’s play. How did he single-handedly kill Marco again? We’re going to go down to they know each other’s tendencies. That wasn’t enough information in front of the orange buff. Exactly. The culmination of long fights, long clashes of these two teams might come to an end today. Lord sieging in into the middle lane. Can Falcon defend without Marco? Ty jumps in with a shadow kill. Flap teas. Immortality pop. Lord still there. Flap teasy gone. Owen desperate attempt to pop the wither crown. Another winter crown from Sadford. All five members of the cavalry still alive. They might be able to clear it out. But Carl Dy goes for the back with the Templars of Blaze. And now they set their eyes on the turret on the tower. TLPH wins this game. Are you not entertained? World class MLBB coming your way from the Titans of MLBB Liquid 2 and 0. A nearly 30minute game before Team Liquid Philippines was able to get it. But my oh my, what a series we’re having right now. Falcons seem to struggle in the clutch moments. Redmar rockhard. What’s going wrong for them? I mean, 30 minutes of a roller coaster. Redar can barely breathe. What the hell, man? Yo, one of these two teams are going to the grand finals and are going to MSC. That was just insane. The Sandman does it again. Putting Falcons to sleep. It hurts to say as a Falcons guy, but you got to appreciate damn good MLBB when damn good MLBB is staring you dead in the eye. That’s right. He was so good that the camera can’t really catch a few of these kills. I’m losing my mind. I’m pretty sure Sanji is going to be MVP there again. Welld deserved. Welld deserved. Well deserved indeed. Game one, that Loi. Game two, it could have been anyone from Liquid. It could have been Carla, but that pick off onto Marco. Eyes closed. The coldblooded eyes closed. Kella does it again. Yeah. And with style, by the way, he has been doing it head to head with a glue in his face with everyone just jumping on him with Owens. Madang just so good in positioning and catching him. He’s still able to actually get out and give a good turn for TL. My goodness. And a as the game went on, I don’t know if I should still agree with past me saying that Team Liquid Philippines definitely won the draft, but I think the better way to put it is Team Liquid Philippines definitely had a draft that made Super Marco work his absolute behind off in this game. He had to do so much. Kyle Tezy had to do so much to try and access the backline when he could. Owen as well, who by the way could have gotten the stop of the century plus that lord that that he miraculously stole if Ob wasn’t just so fast with pressing the flicker away when Team Liquid Philippines eventually won the game. Ob was able to avoid the entry by Owen. But definitely, let’s go back to the performance of Sanji here. It’s his play in this far, his bravery to try and access the back line and be incredibly aggressive with helping Team Liquid by setting up kill angles. Another great MVP performance. Yeah, he’s been blow blowing people up from minute seven. You can really feel his explosiveness and OB with his willingness to flicker forward as a Granger as well just to make sure that these kills are going to register at the very end. Despite the very good sets that Falcon has been doing, despite the really good uh intro of Flap Ty to the backline, it sometimes feels like it’s just not quite enough yet. the members from TLPH are able to get out with a sliver of help time and time again just so they can uh make sure they can get ready for the next objective. Yeah, honestly for TLPH, they they just played so much better. Yeah, so good right there. Now, even these miniature Lord Steals, this game boiled down to just really really good micro. Actually, you might see it here. They were fighting their butts off in this jungle with so many times that you were buying and selling immortalities and winter winter transitions and they were able to really get to a point where Sanji had to micro with his life in front of two members of Falcon. That was an absolutely insane juggle with the winter crown again. Ogen miraculously being able to steal the lord away. Carl teasy was there. He did press the retribution. Sanji locking in feathered air strike cancelled quickly. Purify just in time to get away and of course Flapzy latched onto him here. Oh bang. Oh with the flicker. Sanji with the winter crown clutched by the backliners of Team Liquid. For a for a majority of these games it feels like um Sanji was the bait and O was like, “All right, need this up, bro. This up.” And that synergy just makes it so scary for TLPH uh sorry for Falcons to actually make any big plays happen without expecting some really good collateral damage. Yeah, eventually this became a game of the little things, the small decisions that you make in the middle of team fights. Team Liquid Philippines deciding whether or not to conserve some certain abilities or to use it right away for instant gratification. Same thing goes for Falcons. It just became a trade of who got to execute better. There’s so many times all throughout all the fights that you saw that an early winded nature proc by either of these two marksmen could be the difference between life or death. The fact that Falcons would have to overcommit early on just to try and reach OH. Whereas compared to Team Liquid Philippines, Carl Dezy can easily just swoop in and find Marco. And Kyle Tezy played this game like a bird of prey. He played this game like a falcon waiting for the perfect time to entry. But then we also saw moments where Kyle Tezy said, “Man, let me just do this myself.” Goes in, jumps to the back, pops a shadow kill, forces reactions out of Sanji and Ohe forces reactions out of TLPH. It was a back of back and forth of excellence between the two G uh between the two teams. Exactly. And Carl Tezy played this lane to to a tea. Yeah. Yeah, I mean he was a really big bridge from early to mid here for TLPH waiting for OB to get ready. I mean Sanji is already doing it but you know what you know Sanji couldn’t have done it alone. Care was really on point as well here allowing uh the rest of Falcons to you know he was basically the the walking red target if Sanji wasn’t present. And one of the reasons why this game got extended for so long is because Team Liquid Philippines also responded very well to when Flapy would be able to get the grab grab onto someone. They delay the damage and Falcons would be it’s sort of like whoever flapped grabbed that was like the center point of the of the Mexican standoff. It’s like all right, Team Liquid Philippines is waiting for their time. Carl Tasy waiting in the wings and then eventually it’s just who got to deal damage at the right time, who entered at the better time, who dashed at the better time. PPI rich guy, it’s Carl. That’s right. And we mentioned earlier how he executed his link. is one of the standards for playing Ling right now. If you’re thinking about how many people played the Ling in the playoffs, right? I mean, Carl, you probably played it best so far. Now, we’re going to go in uh back into it. That’s beautiful. All right, so try to discuss uh find us find some ways to break this down a little bit deeper here. I am at a loss for words in terms of how to break this down with everything that we have because of the very brawly ccentric way this game was played. But it wasn’t brawl for the sake of brawl. It was just that’s what it called for a certain fights at the at certain times getting forced out. Look how insanely close this game was. Looking at the timers even team liquid Philippines got the turtles in the game. We didn’t get a lot of uh turtles in this one but they were able to get the ones that mattered early on and then it was just became a trade of towers. This means these two were just so locked in with playing around the objectives and yes they were playing around the objectives despite there being so many fights in this game. All of those occurred in the timings around major objectives. And that isn’t just turtles. That isn’t just lords. Remember, when it comes to the junglers that are dependent on the purple buff, those turn into mini major objective team fights as well. That’s why we saw a lot of action. And of course with the nature of the Farsa and the Ling on the side of Team Liquid Philippines, smaller fights can even break out across the map because of how mobile they are and their role as sort of like assassins. So this just goes to show how close this game was because it wasn’t just all about the kills. Again, they played around the objectives so well with how many were taken by both teams all throughout. They were 100% locked in and it eventually just became again back to the main point of it all. Who could execute better? That’s how close this game was. It became a game of the little things, the little micro moments also important. Yeah. So good, man. It was a I love that you actually brought it up. It was so crucial the the moments where the lead wasn’t big. It was like it bounced between 4K 2K and then back to back to the Falcons it’s 2K and back to CTL it’s 2K. It it wasn’t about like be getting that lead and going turning it into a snowball. It was more of okay what’s the next objective and who’s going to win it cuz every single objective it felt like a 50/50. It was like toss a coin, toss a coin. It wasn’t always the jungler as well. It was sometimes the the you know the the rors who were getting the objectives. You can lap teasy got a a purple snag there somehow. See, see that’s why it became a story of the little things. Somehow the glue was able to take away a purple buff away from the lane with just a simple bonk. I mean it’s it’s insane really the action that we were able to see here. The sheer individual skill and will shown between these two. But then I I go back again to the main idea at the end of the draft. That feeling I had of team Lucan Philippines won this draft even though Falcons played a very close game. Again, look at the center points of these two teams. The cores, the gold laners, the main damage dealers. This game, the lineups, it was so much easier for OH to excel in compared to the Clint of Super Marco. Yes, I actually want to bring that back cuz RC, bro, what are you doing? He actually I feel like he cornered Super Marco to play either the carry or the Clint or maybe some some really weird goal laner like an Isha. Um, so big props to them. He was able to really formulate a draft that kind of just forced him into a sub optimal, albeit still played very well. I mean, I’m sure they practiced it, but man oh man, that was really insane. Yeah, 100%. The problems that Team Liquid have has had in their drafting so far in this playoffs completely gone now. They are drafting out of their minds. The adjustments that they’ve made, the preparation that they’ve made against team Falcons, world class. Now it’s Falcons trying to catch up to the Stallions. Yeah. And well, let’s give a little bit of a breather. Obviously, it’s going to be a long day. Let’s throw it over to our host first. We got something for you. Panelists, we are here still at the champions arena winners BPI. Well, Uni Bankers, our legendary Uni Bankers Cup, they are here.

Oh man, I’m excited for the draft to break down already because again how coach RC and team liquid Philippines have adjusted uh with the struggles that they’ve had in the drafts uh all playoffs long, but then now with two games in a row of just being able to find at least one weakness point worked out so well for him. It worked out. I wonder who can get this pose though. Again, you have to keep your eyes closed. And why is this eye Oh my goodness. Perfect. Perfect. Give it to the child. Not. Let’s not prolong this. Just give it right away. Just give it right away. He wins it. Perfect. He gets the assignment. Oh. Oh, they’re getting the assignment, too, though. No, no, no.

So right now enjoy it with smart. We’re going to go into the draft for game number three. And just an update for the RC hero so far for TLPH. Again, whatever RC in the back, someone’s got to smell it cuz Falcons, what’s it going to be? How are they going to come back in this one? We’re going to call backa, the leader of the brigade dudes to help us out. Shout outs. And now I’m forced to shout out all the brigadudes. And hello Renoir Rockhard. We’re heading into this game after I’m not pretty sure if I’m still over what happened earlier. And immediately the back of first pick for team Falcons, but at least it’s limited now to two roles. All right. And TPH a very fast drafting. Uh just goes to show how well these two teams are prepared for each other, know each other. Uh Juice and Granger great first picks. Falcons go for the Hayabusa far a great response as well. Very even in the draft right now. Still both very good moves. Yeah, the classic Trevor Blitzcraft draft by the way. Just going in ham with the first three just like it’s no one’s business. Although they the Zucchin is a pretty good pick off for TLT. Obviously OB still going to have that muscle memory as well on that Granger. I always love it when when teams like players just stick to their previous ones and especially if it did win that last game was super micro inensive and he was able to actually do a lot with that. Yep. I think look at Philippines. actually that team who oh okay they pick up the bad because I wasn’t really thinking that they would consider it since they mostly saved pretty much some of the surprises for JP so far in the way that this game has happened but now they’re considering the flex factor too and um yeah it’s still pretty even now for both of these teams so far. Yeah, honestly the draft I’m okay again it pains me as a Falcons guy, but I’m leaning towards Team Liquid again because so far the Falcons picks have been other than the Baksha reactive. The Bakshia as the first pick a very proactive choice. The Farsa and the Hayabusa was the reaction to the Juin and the Granger. The Badang is a proactive choice against what Falcons have brought to the table. The first two picks of Liquid, the Granger and Juin proactive choices as well. They knew the Farsa would be open. They knew the Hayabusa would be open, but they still willingly picked the Juin and Granger first. Again, you might might be thinking, you know what, it’s fine as long as they don’t have that Lu Y, as long as they don’t have that chip. That’s what Falcon’s thinking. I guess for Team Liquid Philippines, though, they still can consider the Lucas. It’s uh still an option if ever Carl TZ wants to go that route, especially as they banned out the lane already here for Team Falcons. Unless they’re giving us the Lancelot in this game. Yeah, come on. Give a give us a Lance uh Carl Lance game, please. But Fakas has to ban either the got the Gacha Lucas. Yeah, maybe they’re willing to play against the Lancelot maybe. But there’s a lot of major picks right now that Falcons need to deal with first. Yeah, so far it does feel like the land slot might be a possible last pick either way. So, we’re still looking for a possible XP laner as well for TLPH. Lucas is still available. That would be a pretty nasty combo, possibly on the docket here for Falcons if they want to ban it out. Yeah, and they ban out the fobus, too. So, would that tell anything about Team Liquid Philippines and their possible options later on? But again, team Falcons, what are they more willing to play against? Is it the uh additional layer of CC that the Gatka can offer? Especially, it’ll make things harder for F. Yeah. Or is it the Lucas that’ll just make this mid-range lineup so far of Team Liquid Philippines a lot more better? And it seems like they’ll be more willing to let go of the Gat Katcha. Okay, Got Katcha for JB. Uh potentially the pick right now for Team Liquid Philippines. They’re I’m leaning towards Oh, no. Even better. This was in the back of my head, but I didn’t think they’d want to go for a pickoff style, but they’re okay with it. This empowers the Granger and the Badong really well, and I think that means we’re getting an assassin for Carl. Yeah, for sure. And imagine how difficult it is going to be to move with this lineup of Team Liquid Philippines so far. There’s a Jawhead Badang. There’s the Jushin who’s kind of like a tankier mage. You can imagine the alioop that’s going to happen here with Zushin and the the draw. This needs to be a glue and a Moskov maybe. There it is. There’s the Moskov. Yeah, I think they have to get the glue here. Yeah, something that’s going to survive through the Madame when you get caught out. There it is. Right on uh right on the arrangement as well. Yeah. So, is it going to be is it going to be Come on. Come on. No. I hate you, Sasuke. You and the rest of the world. Come on, man. I mean, this was the this was the uh common duo, right? The Suyo jaw heads and all that. Yeah. Bring Brigad, I appreciate you being the voice of reason so much. I will be the voice of I wish we got Lance Carl. I wish everyone does, right? Yeah. But yes, Suyo, Jawhead together. Uh, Team Liquid going a little bit more standard here. Although the Jawhead is a little bit of a swerve of a surprise, but Liquid Stampede can definitely come online here. While Falcons, they’ll have to play this a little bit more counter punchy. They might not be able to fight well up until past the eighth minute. It’s It’s like regular season vibes for me for TPH. The picks are very regular season and they’re go they’re going what they know here. Yep. This is a comfort for JP by the way in case you all forgot. So that’s right. Let’s see how they set the tempo later on. Let’s see how they play with comfort here in the land for game number three of Falcons and the L. Comfort is out of the question. You got to do what you got to do to get into the game. And Falcons have yet to score. Welcome to game number three. One win away from match point. The cavalry sits. My name is Leo here with Ean and Brigida. You heard her dos of tones during the draft. Egon, how do you feel about this? Were you also looking for that Lancelot? Uh, I was looking of course for the Lancelot of uh Carl Tezy, but again, if Suyo is a better pick for them, then why not? And I do agree actually with Renmar in terms of their picks in the draft. Team Falcons sort of reactive and this could also translate in their gameplay, especially if TPH is on the driver’s seat. A lot of pressure here on the Filipino sniper down bottom. JP covering his behind. Brigida Suyo came out here for Carl Tezy instead of the Lancelot. I’m going to drill down on that. How do you feel about it going into the Farsa? It’s the first time we’re seeing Carl Tezy on the Suyo again after quite some time. And um honestly, it feels like one of the more comfortable picks for Carl Tezy, especially considering the hero pool that he’s been showing us recently. But I’m a bit I’m a bit concerned about how he’s going to position himself well enough in front of a Baksha and a glue. So if you’re asking about the fara and his capabilities to reach this hero, then they’ll probably have to rely on someone else and then just him following up with the damage. I hate how it’s not even reaching the far that’s a problem. It’s going through the possible bodyguards. Here he is looking for a target in Marco. um understands that it’s not quite the best target to go for just yet. The backup hasn’t followed through. First turtle spawning in the upper quarter and it looks like Falcons is there first. Yeah, you know, prior to the matchup of Onyx, their last series, Suyo has a really, really bad record in the playoffs. So, let’s see if alongside King Kong, Carl Tezy can turn the tides for this hero. All right, Turtle started up by JP and Carl Tezy Oak check in range. JP going manto man defense. One fourth, one fifth. Let’s see if Kyle Tezy will be able to reach it as Carl will still secure the turtle. But there’s the clap back from Falcon’s going to bring down Carl Tezy. They went in even as Kyle Tezy goes in with a weak shadow kill to bring down JP. Yep. Great decision from Team Falcons. They they decided to go in for the fights and knowing that there can be additional damage from Super Marco since the SOD did connect, they willingly took that fight despite everything that we mentioned regarding the draft, despite the timings. So, this is a clear advantage that Team Falcons has already acquired. Big win for the Big Birds. Get more with BPI. 1250 diamonds on the line in case uh you register, you join Vibe. It’s a chance to take home some goodies in case you haven’t gotten the skins just yet. Oh, good check in range. That’s a fed air strike by F. And again, these are the uh ugly problems that TP have to face. It’s going through these front liners. You know, uh, similar to what Team Falcons pulled off in game number two, especially towards the early to the mid game, is the pressure on the mid lane. Again, they don’t want Sanji to be as comfortable as possible to eventually scale up with the with the Zucin cuz eventually if Zushin left unchecked, it could spell disaster for Team Falcons. Yeah. And Toin’s doing a great job in checking everyone though. Oh. Oh, spear spear of destruction also connects onto Carl as they bring him down. Next target might be JP here. Kyle Teasy getting racking up a lot of kills so far early game. That’s double dead. Kyle Tezy, even if he could have gotten away, had two major cores on him. Yeah, it’s the beauty of the early game burst damage too that we’re seeing so far from Team Falcons. Team Liquid Philippines feel it feels like they have to build up on that damage and now they have to chase after what team Falcons has already established in terms of the lead. This is a This is a Hayabusa on a 3-0 4 minutes into the game. So, you know that they’re just going to be very confident in terms of taking the fights. You’re worried about Kyle. I’m worried about Super Marco. He’s making mucho Dero. He’s been left down bottom and he can join fights anytime. Sanford goes in with a beautiful combo there to stun out F. F is going to fall down. Feeds a kill off to Sani, but Flap Ty enters the picture as well. Carl Ty got dropped there by Kyle Tezy. Wiki Shadow kill still continuing on. And JP caught in the crossfire there as they’re trying to save it and Salt. Super Marco lacks the damage, but that was more than enough pressure to apply out to TPH. Odd placement by Marco here forcing Sanji to go ahead flicker forward. Catches him with a choke. Oh, Super Mario getting choked down. Was able to dash out, but lantern flare caught him as Kyle Tezy gets the turtle in exchange for the turtle and potentially the purple buff. They’re still going to go for it, but JP saves it long enough. We saw the Sansan duo in action earlier going for that pickoff, but what they failed into to take into account were the other members of Team Liquid Philippines left behind. Things aren’t looking too good for Carl Teasy now on a 03. We did mention how difficult it might be for a Suyo to do much in this game, but I don’t expect him to go 0 and three 5 minutes in. Looking at the items, the sheer definition of Chopsuy Carl Dy struggling. Yeah, there’s so much that has to be done for them to come back in this game, especially with how Flap Teas is just able to make his presence be felt. Kyle TC can enters and catches Oh, it wasn’t enough for Tio. PH shared the damage immediately got bursted down. How would you respond to that? It came from out of nowhere. It didn’t look like a real fight was going to break out. They just really wanted OM and it feels like they’ve completely shut down whatever threat this pickoff centric lineup or at least in the early game could deliver. JP is struggling to find the targets and who can he rely on for the damage if they’re this much behind. I’ll do even better. 6 minutes elapsed, not a single ejector that led to a good play. Yeah, not even a defensive one. You might say, you’ve been saying this all season 14. Oh, wait a minute. Sanford spots out Kyle Tees. Even goes in once again. The fist bump was there to stun out Kyle Tezy and brought enough space for OM to take down the turret down bottom. Okay, there’s one. Here’s the ejector, but is that the right target? Oakwin quite tanky. Now Kyle Ty jumps in once again paired up with Black Daisy. They’re able to burst down the MVP again. 020 storm for OB. And now Black Daisy latches on to Sanji. Beautiful combo there for from Sanford, but Kyle Ty though, one more hit away and he’s going to get taken down. Super Mario ST was able to escape, but not for long as Super Marco dishing out the damage. JB falls. It’s gone sideways for the cavalry as Falcons continue to bear down on him. Super Marco never misses. What is that? 100% on the SOD right now. Man, if you’re going to count yesterday series, that’s still 100% from Super Marco with his Moscow 312 start. Yep. Team Liquid Philippines, they’re clearly struggling in terms of how they’re able to layer their skills, in terms of how they’re able to carry out a sequence that’s favorable for them. Whether it be on Sanford trying to anticipate Kyle TZ earlier in that lower b in that lower bush, they they were unsuccessful in doing so. And now here’s another team fight. Here’s a spread. Spread from Flap T. Ky jumps in. But wait a minute. Is he going to enter again? SOD is going to connect. First man down here. Still no one as JP falls down. Carl Cy might be next. One more hit away. But TP trying to counter Ay bring down Owen. Sanji enters the picture for the crimson beacon and leather flare. But Super Mark with a sphere of misery to track him down. Ky enters the picture again. Sanji got caught in close fire. Flapy might be able to bring him down. And two members down for Liquid. And they’re still going. 40 got flap on him. Can they continue? Oh, Flap Teasy still holding on to Sanford. And now he latches off and the clash will end here. to think that we saw probably one of the cleanest games from Team Liquid Philippines earlier. Now it feels like Falcons, it wasn’t too reactive of them after all. Oh, JP with the unstoppable force onto Kyle. Owen to the rescue. Now Owen with a stun. Sanford with a beautiful combo is the damage there though. We shadow kill was casted right on time to help Super Marco with SOD. And now he’s giving out the damage on to JP. JB has to back off. OF desperately trying to dish out the death Sonatas, but the damage is still not there for TLPH. And still Marco never misses. Maybe we should start calling him the Philip. What were you going to say? Uh in season 14, I kept saying you you you kept saying that uh you don’t want the jawhead to be, you know, at the ending or at had a bad start because it’s going to be hard for them or to be on on the defense. On the defense and that’s exactly where Liquid is despite it being just a,000 gold lead. Bring it up. Can Liquid come back from this wave? What’s that angle looking like? It’s going to be hard since you have to pay attention to so many heroes of Team Falcons right now. Kyle, TZ, F, and Super Marco. They’re all online and it’s very unlikely that we’ll see at least one of them separated long enough that Team Liquid Philippines could take advantage of that. They’re just too fast in terms of the responses. And just when we thought it was just pure reactions being forced out of team Falcons, it wasn’t after all. And not to mention, you have two tanky front liners also for the side of Team Falcons who have yet to die. Here comes the ejector play that can turn the tides around. But team Falcon still being able to dish out the damage again. KG jumps in and Super Marco as well. So going to bring down Sanji. Three fallen. Make it four. Super Mario wants to chase after Sanford in a double for Super Mm. Four down. Not a single clap back from Liquid. Ballooning up to 5,000 gold plus a lord. Falcons are here. And I’m not so sure about that call. Taking on Flap Teasy knowing fully well that the other members of team Falcons are just within the area and that they won’t have enough burst damage just yet. Close call for OH as well, but that’s aside the fact that Super Marco also came in. F was just free to throw out the feted air strike. And now Team Liquid Philippines are clearly on the defense right now. You don’t want TH to be on the defense. So far, they’re having a hard time initiating any anything against Team Falcons. Even Team Falcon jumps in once again. A week shadow kill from the back paired up with defended air strike from view. All the while Super Marco just working on the turret delivering the damage going to bring down JP. One member down. Oh, it’s still quite tanky as TP takes care of the lord. You see the damage coming from Super Marco. And now that we’re about to look at his items, this pretty much explains why he’s almost 2k ahead of another jump in from Flapy. Sanford got caught there. SOD casted right on time as team Falcons focuses on the top lane. Whether it be from lane to lane, whether it be across the map or literally point black right in front of you, Marco never misses the SOD and they’re continuing to apply pressure. Top lane up next. Shout out to Oh my goodness. Kyle Ty went after Sanji once again. Two members down for TP. Top’s team Falcons also gets the inhibitor up top. The bloodthirsty blade just does not let up. They’re approaching 10k. It’s already an 8.1k gold lead and F just got his hands on that divine glaive. So imagine away. Oh, a throw onto Super Marco. They catch him, but a quick response on Falcon. Super Marco stays alive. The bullet bro still here. Kyle Ty delivers a weak shadow to bring down JP. Sanford is gone as well. Flap Ty working on Oh, and they take down Carl TZ. A double for Marco. He missed, but he never misses. A forward flicker to take down the young goat. Folks, he did not rock purify. He survived that engagement with a flicker. And he had the wind of nature, too. So, he was able to survive the damage from TLB. There’s the engage. KZ again jumps in with shadows. They take down inhibitor in the middle lane, but TP fortunately will be able to clear out the minions. A bare base, an open field for the stallions to think about what went wrong. Ingan, you said at this point in the game, Liquid does not want to be on the back foot. They don’t want to be in the defense. I’ll tell you now, at minute one, they didn’t want that. The game started as soon as they began the draft, they did not want that as soon as they locked in that jaw head. It’s hard. I I mean, you you saw JP all his ejectors are defensive, are reactor, are reactive. And in the rare cases that he wants to be proactive, it’s flap teasy organ that he manages to throw. Concealed play already committed by Team Liquid Philippines. But there’s an answer from Team Falcons. Here comes Owen with Shield Unity keeping TLPH at bay cuz there’s a major objective up for Crabs. Lord is up now that they’ve already used up the conceal. They’ll have to find other ways to go around this, but it’s going to be very difficult especially for Carl Tezy. He’s still pretty much behind. Although they already might want to take this on. Oh from the back and they latch on to JP. A mega kill coming in from flap. TZY. One member down. Team Falcons. Do they go for the extra engage? F chasing after the members of TPH the feathered air strike. Marco with the sod again as Kyle TZ gets the lord but he shut him down. Is this enough time for TP? cuz their base there are minions for team Falcons and TP will clear it out. A slight miscalculation by Falcons. They thought they could go but another chance at ending the game here. Oh, Sanford and Kyle Tees single-handedly pushing them out. Liquid lives another day. Yeah, but JP so heavily punished in this game. He can barely look for a setup for Team Liquid. There’s almost no one within reach that he could toss towards the members of Team Liquid Philippines. Fortunately, they’re able to buy enough time. We’re already approaching 15 minutes. So, Om definitely probably at least is lacking just one more item. The trade onto Super Marco bought enough time for Team Liquid Philippines to take care of the lord in the middle lane without any pressure for the side of Team Falcons. But it was all part of the plan of team Falcons to go for a sacrificial play, secure the lord. But fortunately for the cavalry, they were able to get not just one but two bodies of team falcons. And a majority of that iso held in weight by Marco. You take out Marco, you have half the problem solved. In comes Oglin. Kyle come in a shadow kill shadow kill to be able to keep TP at bay. But the clear of TPH is just too much. Oh, it being able to dish out the damage and you can clearly see TH slowly scaling up. What was that? Kyle Ty, we’ve seen him do this multiple times in this game, but that was the first time we saw it lead to really nothing. I mean, they were prepared again. The threat of an ejector at the same time, Sanford being able to have his flicker and the uh the combo from the Badang can turn the tide for them for sure. Owen knows that cuz he’s been doing that with the Badang. Yeah, but this is going to be tricky though. Team Falcon’s Flap and Owen have already picked up their immortalities 15 minutes into this game. So, they were already winning pretty much most of the fights that were taking place, but now they can afford to go a little more aggressive since they already have those items within their um builds. But they also have to consider that yes, Team Liquid Philippines, they are gradually scaling and they there will be definitely some opportunities for them considering that the lead is slowly shrinking now down to 5k in favor of team Falcons. Falcons is still in control. That much we know the map is blue. Liquid the amount of space that they can play with very limited. I’m wondering who is building anti-heal? Where is it right now? cuz Flap number one on top of the charts in damage taken and he’s died a record zero times. I think he had they have to deal with him first and then maybe we can talk. Maybe we can find a comeback angle. Yeah, but it does seem like Sanji is the one who tries to go for either F or Super Marco. He puts himself out there. He actually tries to disrupt so much of the backlines and that’s a that’s a huge responsibility if you’re Sanji. You want to do so many things at once. being the juin of this lineup. So much weight on the shoulders of the lone stallion. Sometimes it always comes down to him to do the job. In game two, he did just that. Took down Marco alone. But now he needs help. Oh, he and Carey. Not a single Se Halbert between them. Yeah, and that help could start from JP or either Sanford. One could set up on the proper targets. Spell disaster for team Falcons, but this could be a potential play for the cavalry. We saw in game number two, Sanji was able to solo kill Super Marco. That set the tone for the game. Could they do it here again? All right, three members of Liquid moving up, but concealed by JP. They walk into him. Few goes in with their air strike. They burst down Sanford immediately. Kyle quite low here. He has to back off. They set their eyes onto JP. He still has his immortality as TP has to back off. Was that an ambush or an unfortunate encounter? It was something similar to what happened with Sanji and Marco in game number one. He just waited for the curse of crow and bursted everyone right in front of him. And team Liquid Philippines definitely had to go back because they had to take into account Super Marco into potential split. So with an exposed base, this is going to be a difficult defense. That’s painful. Now Liquid knows how it feels for them to walk into a random bush and get blasted. They did it in game number two. And now Team Falcons again with a clap back. Lord is on their side. 5k gold lead. TP has five members to defend, but is this going to be enough for the cavalry? All right, Lord marching up. Amazing synchronization by Falcons. Three waves coming through and the fight breaks down. There’s the ultimate. Wiki shadow kill and feather air strike. JP was able to throw out Owen, but there’s a revitaliz coming in from the master. Flap teasy latches onto Sanford. Super Marco jumps in and locks on the base and team Falcons finally a win in the Clash of Titans. You can’t expect a sweep. Not like this. Falcons on the board. Two to one. They’ve learned too much from what happened in the past 3 days of the playoffs. They definitely cannot end it. Let it end like this. And they were dominant. Falcons. Amazing work. Let’s talk the red Martin Rockard to see exactly how FAS did just that. Marco there. Super. Oh, we’re on. Hey. Oh, there you go. So, that was a bit of a Sorry. We’re reenacting Super Mario just going ham in that one. And the Falcons are on the leaderboard scoreboard rather. Okay, there was another reason as to why I was flipping out over Sasuke showing up instead of the Lancelot. There’s magic damage on the side of Falcons Farsa in the mid, you had the Bakshia in the Rome, and then the glue in the exp lane. The main adjustment to Suyo was his removal of magic defense with his immortal form. And going up against a lineup that has a far side and a box on the other side, it’s tough for a Suyo to shine. Hence why you saw Falcons take control of the game early on. Kyle Tezy went crazy on the Hayabusa. Carl Tezy went up against the monster that he made by winning a world championship. Kyle Teezy 91 and N9. He was the guy in this game number three. That’s right. This is the monster that was born out with Kyle Tezy’s teasy play. Yeah. And we are seeing it in action. Full stop here. He’s giving so much. Actually, even at the very end though, Shadows were able to actually take down single targets. Oh yeah. On its own. So that just goes to show how ahead this Hayabusa was in terms of damage scaling. And when you’re scale, you scale that well, you are the biggest threat aside from obviously Super Marco who’s just on on on the opposite side of the map wreaking havoc to your towers. Yeah. And again, let’s go back to what I mentioned in the draft earlier when it came to team Philippines. They were more proactive with the choices that they made while Falcons looked like they were a little bit more reactive. However, sometimes the best offense is a good defense. The reactions Falcons had in the draft were better in the long run. and they played it in game. Although there was something that Brigida tried to uh uh tried to foresee where maybe what if Fakus will be reactive. No, they were very proactive in the game while Team Liquid Philippines were the ones reacting to what Kyle Tezy was doing in the early to mid game to the point where even when JP he saw Kyle Ty was like I really want to get this dude down. Team Liquid Philippines were there to respond but KZ was just able to get away and eventually that became the not the right pick to try and go for. It’s it’s really hard to blame TLPH as well for playing that way because it was so hard for either JP or Sanford to make a pickup happen because in order to do that you had to get close to a glue. You had to get close to basically a walking wheel which is Owen and you’re going to get pushed off by either the spear of misery, right? It’s so difficult. Super Marco excellent at this game. the fact that he was able to survive that with just a flicker out and of course Kyle Tezy yet again. This is his highlight reel as well being able to just find the back line. The only error I think that Falcons had in this game was when Super Marco decided to go in here cuz this was where it started to feel like Team Liquid Philippines would have enough to turn the game around. But then that was it. Now Falcons were sharp. Falcons held key objectives. It was Team Liquid Philippines desperately trying to find the unique angle to crawl back into this game and find a better position for themselves. But Falcons stuck to their fundamentals. Yes, they played defensive in the draft, but they played proactive in the game. Yeah, you can feel the gill from Falcons in this one cuz I feel like uh Super Marco super locked in on what he needed to do. Again, he almost each and every sod actually hit. Yes. Oh, and it really had a high impact except for that last one you pointed out, but everything else was just Oh, wow. Oh, wow. And you actually gave us a bit of a master class as well on how to really execute that Forsa very early on. Yeah. And again, another thing to point out about the lineup of Falcons here. They have the revitalized window. Uh there’s no revitalize on the side of Team Nigan Philippines. And that’s why the early pickoffs that they tried to attempt just could not push through. there were members of Falcons would just have enough health to survive and then keep fighting. And well, this is the what this lineup is built for, fighting. Remember the last time uh we said where heroes that are stronger with continuous basic attack damage are very good against lineups that are tanky, slow front to back. Yes, Team Liquid Philippines are playing pick off in a way, but when you have the Granger with you, you have a element of slow front to back with you. But Super Marco said, “Let me come from all angles with my SOD, being able to reach the back line when I need to.” That’s right. You have the pickoff lineup, but everyone else in front was so hard to ejector. And the guy that you’re supposed to ejector, Fu had a purify, and Super Marco obviously is very far away from the fight. And the Hayabusa, good luck catching that one. So, I get I get the problem that that had here. Obviously, it was very difficult for them to actually make kills happen. That’s why it’s a 25-6 on the kill score with Cali as our BPI rich guy. Everything else you did a lot a majority of either making the damage happen or getting into the KP. Yeah, they’re definitely popping up here. The living legend in few showing why he is a living legend. Just when this team needed the most, you saw FA really understood that they cannot lose this game. uh they cannot be down 300 cuz it’s going to be a Titanic crawl to a turnaround. But they took over. Uh they knew they needed to win this one. Yeah. And of course uh 824 GPM is no laughing matter. Like we said, that’s the reason why he scaled so well. Like one target in TLP was equal to one shadow kill. Actually, one shadow kill was like 1.5. So that’s how strong Kyle Ty was at this point. All right, so let’s uh talk a little bit more about some of the minutia of the game. Yes, this game was determined a lot by the moves of Kyle Tezy going in with the shadow committing the shadow kill and the rest of Fala’s just following up or the moves of F going in being aggressive uh utilizing the curse of crow the stun right away and then bringing down a feathered air strike. to set things up for KZY and the rest of the team. This was a game determined a lot by the kills that Falcons were getting aggressively close relatively up until it eventually got out of the hands of Team Liquid Philippines because when the Lord spawned and Team Fas were able to get that with a without a problem. They got kills to boot as well, the lead just expanded. Team Liquid Philippines only got two turtles in this game. Got a turret. Yes, they were getting the turtles. But then again, the question is, can you convert the major objectives into even more objectives? The answer was no. Sadly enough, for Falcon uh for Team Liquid Philippines, while for Falcons, the answer for them was yes, we will be able to convert the major objectives. Mainly, they weren’t converting the turtles. They were mainly converting towers. They were converting lords into towers. And they were converting that into gold, into space. Space, which is very good for a lineup that has a Moskov and a Farsa with them. Again, the fact that they had the revitaliza meant that the early game team fights and pickoffs that team Lucan Philippines wanted to get are going to be so much harder to take. When you have the glue rotating out of the exp lane to join the fights alongside the Baksha, alongside the Farsa, that will make Suyo struggle. Su Yo going up against magic damage is a struggle for early to mid. They leaned a little bit too hard, I feel like, on the jawhead and Suyo combination. And if that was something like a gataka instead of the roam, then you would have the taunt to counterengage what team falcons wanted to do. You would have a jump into the back line to make sure that you could try to force a reaction out of you out of Super Marco. And of course, we know how Gatka can survive long enough in team fights anyway so that he will be able to deal that sudden burst of basic attack damage that he would get with his passive. And most importantly, if they had a gata gacha in that lineup for Team Liquid Philippines, they would have had an extra revitalize to match the revitalize of the box. Though it would be a little bit nerfed compared because Boxa naturally has the anti-heal. At least you’d be able to increase your chances. But I still also feel like that Suyo should have been a Lancelot man. I’m not It’s not just me fanboying. It’s because of the whole magic damage relationship that we pointed out. So let’s look at the item path here for Super Marco compared to Ob. He was getting his core items first. Of course, with the 1,500 price of the sky piercer, we’ll get that before the golden staff. But the fact that the golden staff came almost the same time as the sky piercer of OH, it shows just how fast Super Marco was able to get farm without that much of a problem. Obs got his maleific almost the same time as Super Marco. Credits to Team Liquid Philippines for being able to keep the farm of OH relatively close, but they were just losing everything else. their robber pickoff type against a lineup that has a baka and uh glue so difficult to pull off. I feel like that again will hammer down that point miscalculation could have been a gataka plus something else. Uh probably would have fared better up against the fight of Falcons and increasing the chances that team liquid Philippines will be able to capitalize on punishing the errors that Falcons uh could have potentially made. But we live in this reality where it was Falcons who won the game. the item progression for few as well. Very good. He got his lightning treasure, you know, 12 minutes in, but because that’s because he was very active with being present in the map. He got his divine glaive at 14 minutes in, and by that point, you’re all already locked in. So, a great game by Falus, a great draft, and of course, a great game by Super Marco. Let’s look at his average patch 1.9.64 stats for the mid game stats for the 8 minutes. I did not break that, did I? Oh my my goodness. Woo. I thought I’d uh lose a chunk of my talent fee there. I’m doing something wrong. Okay, so 67% kill participation for Super Marco. Definitely much better. Usually around the 8 minute mark, he’s around level 10, but here he was level 11. Gold difference. Look at that massive gold diff compared to the average that he’s done since post patch, but in this game number three, just goes to show how much uh better of a time Super Marco was able to have this time around. again because Falcons, as pointed out by the casters earlier, decided to focus on one thing this time around, their control and their advantage in the center of the map. The fact that he was able to deal almost 7,000 more damage than he does on the average by the 8minute mark. Insane numbers. So, let’s uh revisit what we saw in that last draft. Team Liquid Philippines was on the red side, but I feel like that was a red side that could have been played much better considering the fact that that is their comfort side. 7 17 to six. They usually do red side so well. They It’s their most uh heroes picked in that uh side, but it just didn’t work out. Uh the Moscow, the glue, the Bakshia, Farah, Hayabusa all together fantastic draft by Falcons. Fantastic way of being able to play it. They weren’t reactive in game. They were proactive compared to their reactiveness in the draft. You love to see it. It was a dominating game, but it was a game that the Falcons needed to potentially start their crawl back into this one. That’s true. It was really well needed, especially because you need that tempo in the best of seven. Like we mentioned earlier in the infinite keys to victory. It’s a test of endurance and you in order to pull something, you got to have some wins. You got to have some dubs. even in life, you got to have those small wins so you can go and win the big the big picture, right? So that’s I I really like that for Falcons and uh we’re also seeing a bit of evidence why a lot of teams really strayed away from the old drafts of regular season, right? We’re seeing evidence right here. So uh I hope that we can see uh something very more similar to Falcons here that uh that’s sticking to what they know as well and maximizing the heroes that we have like that glue is still really scary as well. I hope we see more of the clues, the higher boosters today. Oh, terrific game by the Falcon squad. Kyle Ty, of course, MVP. Flap Teasy on point with the sentries. Great timing alongside Ogen F was a monster in this one. And of course, Super Mario, we saw what he did. That’s right. So, let’s throw it over to our Champions Arena once more with Hansen Kooi. We got interview lined up for you guys panelists. It is team Falcons getting a point 2 to1 score. But before we proceed with all of the matches Kuci, I’m sure that we have an esteemed guest with us today. Everyone please welcome from the department of tourisms of course that is none other than from the director of film and sports tourism director Roberto Alabado III. Director Robbie, it’s so nice to be here with you today. Yes. Good afternoon. And it’s very exciting to be here also. And you know, honestly, right, I think this isn’t your first time watching. Oh, no. I was here in the M5 M5 World Championship. So, that was a really big moment being able to host something as big as that, right? Yes, that was really big. Um, just imagine a lot of people coming from all over the world visiting the Philippines just to play and to see the matches here. Well, we’re we’re definitely the strongest Galito, so that says a lot, right? For sure. For sure. Direct Robbie, I want to ask, how important is having these events for tourism? Yes. In tourism, we’re asking for reasons for people to travel. They travel coming here so that they can watch this. So we are always giving reasons for people to travel that is tourism. That’s very great to hear. But how about esports as a whole dire? Where do you position esports now in terms of tourism? Yes. In esports, we’re looking at um last month I was with university sports coaches, my sports directors and I am so amazed that even universities right now here in the Philippines have their esports teams. So this is a very good exposure for all of us so that we can see the importance of esports. So they are having their own games on the university level and M um universities and colleges. So this is I think a good way so that we can train and develop people so that we can have more world champions here in the Philippines. You know, Derek Robbie, I want to know more about that because again, not only are we talking about, you know, esports, MLBB for tourism, but also sports in general, right? A lot of people are asking me honestly, MBL Cebu, MBL, Sa Davo, Sakai, Saro. Is that something that potentially could happen in the future? I would really welcome that because just think Manila. That’s right. What if next time people in Manila and we have a lot of people traveling just to see the games. This is what we want in tourism. Let’s talk so that we can make this happen. I like it. So I I don’t know if we have people from the Champions Arena who live from very far places, right? We’re never really sure, but Derek Robbie, I think that’s for another conversation. And we are so happy to have you here with us once again. The ideas are tremendous and we are going to be looking forward to that in the future. But now, let us get back to the games. This is still Team Liquid Philippines going up against Team Pak. Fanalists, it’s your turn. That’s right. MPL Philippines in La. That’s very interesting. Where’s Cebu? Yeah, pretty good. Like have really good internet, too. They have great internet in Cibu. Uh they got great establishments, a lot of awesome restaurants there. Very picturesque place. Yeah, very picturesque. If we ever end up in Laan, popular beach and surfing destination here in the Philippines, imagine having a tournament there. That’d be wild. I mean, I don’t think we’d be able to, you know, have the tournament on the beach itself. That would be a logistical technical nightmare. But the fact that we’re already there, you know, uh hopefully maybe we get to see uh go around the Philippines more. I mean, in Indonesia, they had a playoffs in Bandong uh last year or Yeah, last year. So hopefully we’ll get something like that here in the Philippines. Maybe somewhere up north as well. I I know a lot of the big enthusiasts up north. Um Pampaga Batan. So many especially Batan is like literally the birthplace of so many strong pro players in the Philippines. Um Kyrie Edward and the likes. Yeah. Uh a lot of people there. I I’d want to be able to go to the to the southern regions cuz as cool there as cool as uh this man Scalpus with Clear. And did you know that men actually get five times more dandruff versus women’s scalp? So that’s why you need specialized shampoos like Clear Men with triple anti-dangruff power for 100% dandruff free hair because no one understands men like Clear. Power up your dandruff scalp. Supercharge with Clear. That’s right. Big thank you to Clear for uh giving us a few of those as well. Uh that’s going to be my stock for like a few weeks. Yeah. Thanks. uh you help me save up on my uh toiletries budget really well. That’s right. I I I really It is effective. Like not even kidding. Like not just because they’re sponsor. I use Clear a lot. Yeah. Big shout out to you, Clear. And I really hope that we can see more of uh more very beautifully scalped just like that guy. Beautifully scaled. Beautifully scalped. I didn’t know that. I didn’t know that was an adjective. Is that correct? I If I’m hope that’s correct. Yeah, I didn’t know that was an adjective he could use. You know what? That’s cool. Beautiful scalp means you have beautiful hair. Beautifully people with beautiful scalps. There you go. Yeah, that’s better. But you know what? Speaking of beautiful people, so many people around the whole Philippines right now are actually tuned in and watching the MPL Philippines playoffs. We are in day number four and here we are right in all their form and glory. Oh my goodness, look at that. We have uh watch fests going on all over the country in Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, the three major island regions here in the Philippines. And of course, it’s just uh nice to have a quick look at, of course, at our PH and English uh casters desk and our PH panelists as well with Midnight and uh Chantel being there. So, MPH watchfest, you really just have to understand that this is a national thing in the Philippines. Uh all over the country, people are watching. that we’ve set up opportunities uh for people to watch live if they couldn’t make it here all the way to Green Sun Makati. So, shout out to everyone who is watching at our watchfests. Yeah, for the longest time, usually these watch fest, MPL Philippines finals, playoffs have always been the time when MPL players uh ML players in general would meet up with their squads and just see each other in real life. So, I I hope that you’re able to do that. Invite your friends over to your local Watchfest and just have a lot of fun enjoying the MPL Philippines playoffs. Again, we are the best of the best and usually the best of the best ranked gamers also meet up during this time. Yeah. Uh hopefully I don’t run into any of the ranked gamers who increase my blood pressure in solo queue. No, no, I’m kidding. I’d love to meet you guys so I can teach you a thing or two. No, I’m kidding. I’m I’m messing with Are you actually kidding me? Let’s call in backup here for our draft for game number four. Brigada is joining us. Hello. I had so much fun waving at the watch parties earlier and seeing how hyped all the audience were. But this is what makes the entire evening exciting. It’s Falcon securing a point against Team Liquid Philippines and us not going for a sweep. Oh, you you you don’t want us to go to a sweep. I mean, I did vote for a Liquid, but I I would not want to sweep in the lower brackets by now. Yeah, no one would want to sweep at this point. So far, though, our draft very similar to game number three, same picks. Is it going to be a Hayabusa and Farsa again for Falcons or Oh, yep. This going to be the same one. Will it change here for TPH? The third pick. They steal the glue. Great response by Liquid. That’s a great response. Honestly, just slowing down the durability of Falcons cuz that’s the biggest problem of Omap earlier. That glue is just, you know, it’s so hard to really do it, especially if you have so many good front liners up on that’s absorbing all your rapsides and des. Yeah. Yeah, and at least now they have someone who can be that solid tank to just take up the damage from Team Falcon. Especially considering that right now the damage distribution just looks too well yet again because earlier it felt like Team Liquid Philippines were relying too much on the setups. They had two heroes to go for setups and once you put them in dangerous positions, it’s just so hard for them to get out. Uh that man just uh put up a sign saying that he came all the way from the southern Isles of the Philippines. Wow. Just to watch MPL. Uh thank you so much uh to the commitment of our community. The real South. Yeah, that’s that’s a real South uh South Peeps. So hopefully every all of you are enjoying. We also have our cosplayers on the the Yeeha South of the Philippines. Yeha. We don’t get to see the Hanzo by the way, but we see him now as a cosplayer. That’s true. Speaking of Yes. Speaking of junglers though, are they batting out the lane again for Team Liquid Philippines? Uh, I would highly suggest they do, but then again, they they could just shift things up here in terms of the draft that banning out the ling means you’re most likely Whoa, they want the ling. They want the ling. What is that? A challenge. Oh, hey. Oh. Oh. Oh, that’s not done. This does not look good for Falcons right now. Wait, wait, wait. What if we what if we like bring it back to the to the days where you pair up a Matilda with a very reliable utility jungler, you know? Yeah. Alpha. It’s either going to be an alpha or a Fredin, I feel like, is what we were also thinking about here. So, yeah, they could go tanky, put it all in the Granger basket. That would be a great draft for Team Liquid. Falcons need to respond and do. They got to go tanky again. And I think Super Marco needs something that can move really well while deal dishing out basic attacks and can also survive. So is that the ear though? That sounds like it, doesn’t it? It might not be enough in terms of the damage. However, they do have the high boost of Forsa with him might be okay. Kimmy they went for a BA. All right, there we go. I like that. All right. Not what the not the gold laders we expected for sure. I love the Khalid as well. Big swap out and looks like you guys are on point with that one. It’s the alpha jungle for TLPH. Frightening early game. Team Liquid are leaning on their Liquid Stampede identity. While for Falcons, they do have a Khaled with them in the Rome that could potentially set the tempo here. But this is not going to be as easy a game as game number three. up in the air for me this one. But uh but JP guesses Matilda that might be the X factor. Yeah, that’s right. Again, very old school DNA. You I know you guys miss the uh the regular season alpha almost every game kind of thing. And TPH is bringing that back with a little bit of flavor with it. You would approve. Yeah, you have to look at the Falcons rating though. Crowd control up the wazu and that might be the difference maker here. But again, it’s a glue on the other side. Every time there’s a clue, it’s always the X Factor. That’s right. Let’s Let’s load up into the game for game number four. Falcons keeping close. Let’s go. An old favorite makes its return to the Land of Dawn. Very stats we have on jungle alphas now making its way into the playoffs. Welcome to game number four. Finally, Falcons on the board, but far from equalizing. This is a clash of Titans. An is this a right time to bring out the alpha again? Yeah, if you pair it up of course with JP’s Matthilda could be a viable option for TPH, especially as we approach the 8minute mark. Things could go well for TPH up against Team Falcons. Yeah, and I feel like it’s not just the Alpha that the Matilda could work well alongside with. It’s also the Jin. If they want to like match Sanji and his aggression, then they can do just that cuz they’ll get the circling eagle. to get the guiding wind so they can quickly get out of danger. And I feel like you could say the same for Sanford, right? We often see these kinds of duos where in the XP laner just dives deep in the back lines, but there’s someone to fetch him. There’s someone to save him if ever he gets in a very dangerous position. And the Wazu is I don’t know if it’s correct protected enough is because there’s only one purify for Falcons. It’s just few. So should they be targeting Marco? Is that the play here? Yeah, especially in the early game. Don’t let Super Marco scale up early on. Carl Tezy goes in with the ultimate paired up with Sanford there. They want to go for the first blood kill. Purify popped by F and C. They got what they wanted. Yeah, they were clearly forcing a fight there. Even a pickoff at most for Kyle Tezy, but he got his level four. That’s why I feel like that was a bit of a signal too for Team Liquid Philippines to maybe be a little more safe in in terms of their next few decisions cuz there is an upcoming objective and they definitely do not want to lose someone before that. The a management objective the turtle spawning in just a few up in uh the XP lane down here bottom quarter of the map. Even without kills, I’d say Liquid is ahead here. Yeah, especially with the way they’re controlling the map right now. A lot of zone from JP and Sanford. Free turtle for Carl Tezy. Let’s see how Team Falcons will respond. What trades will they look for? Wow. I feel like for now, none. They won’t be getting anything. Kyle TZ is still about to secure his purple buff and all those resources burned by Team Liquid prior to that turtle were so worth it. Yeah, compared to game number two, we we don’t see actually Fu and Owen be as aggressive in the center of the map compared to what we witnessed in uh game number two. So so far TP Sanji and JP their combo again is slowly working for them giving a lot of space for OB and this is what Brigida is mentioning not just the alpha will benefit from the Matilda but also OB eventually he’ll stack up fast. Yep. And a game that has OB losing a lot is a tough game to win for Liquid. And now it’s clear they’re in control. Everyone jumping in. Kyle Tasy goes in but the Oigi Shadow kill Sanji was able to cry beacon out and sustained the damage again. No casualties so far. 3 minutes in no first blood. Yeah, and they’re allowing OV to do the double lanes. You like to see this for Team Liquid Philippines. One of the probably biggest factors for them establishing and carrying out the entire Liquid Stampede thing is when they’re able to gain full control or dominance in terms of what we see along the mid and along the river side, which was something clearly that they were able to do in the first two games, but they lost it in game number three, and you knew what happened. We’re on our way to actually witnessing a brand new kind of Liquid Stampede. They don’t have to kill you. Still no casualties yet. They’re already approaching a 2,000 gold lead. Liquid is running through you, hitting hard, hitting fast without having to kill. They’re just getting what they want. Then moving on. Yeah, having a lot of information, not giving Kyle TZ a good time so far. Game number three. Kyle TZ started out strong. He even came to a point before 8 minutes. He was 500 already with Hayabusa. Yeah. And for Team Liquid, they don’t really need to. Oh, wait. Just the damage from Owen. Forced out to use a raging sandstorm got caught out there by the circling eagle of JP for Sanji to be able to take him down. Kyle jumps in with a shadow already with ai shadow kill, but just one crimson beacon was more than enough to save himself. Fancy feet by Sanji. Didn’t even need to use the flicker. Yeah, and look at that. The first casualty we see in the game was actually just a punish. It was just Team Liquid Philippines reacting to seeing Owen all alone in that area. And now this could potentially be another free objective for them. Yeah, Carl Sezy again uncontested Turtle King. So now Team Falcons, they might just go and default back to their usual strategy, feed a lot of uh resources for Super Marco, eventually help him scale up, and it’s going to be Flap, TZ, and Owen to help them reach that point. Oh, even if that is the plan for Marco, he’s a thousand behind from Ohe already on his way to becoming the BPI rich guy of game number four. Oh yeah, and he first had to build that um blade that C Halbird before anything else because he knows how much they have to deal with in terms of Team Liquid and their overall sustain, but they’re able to hold onto this turret. And at least for Team Falcons, they’re not allowing Team Liquid Philippines to convert anything just yet into a turret. That’s right. On a fundamental level, Falcons is playing the right way. They know how to stem the bleeding. But again, it seems like Liquid is ready for this. Liquid is prepared to go slow but steady and still stampede through. Yeah. And slow and steady wins the race. They now converted one objective, a turret taked down up top. And if you’re going to look at the level gap between the junglers, two level gap already. Even if nothing’s happening, Sanford jumps in again. Beautiful stun on to Marco went to Kyle Tezy. treating like this purple buff is a lord. There’s a shadow from Kyle Tes might be able to take it still, but they stole it away. Oh, they’re barely allowing Kyle Tezy to get his hands on the purple buff. And that diminishes the threat you could feel from him. Be it in the gas, be it in the pickoffs, you know, he doesn’t have a purple buff. And that was off of the back of a failed flicker. Grab grab. Sanford didn’t get to press it. I guess there wasn’t enough stacks on the targets, yet they still got away with the countd coming in. jumping in. Forced out Super Marco’s dash and flicker. So, a major uh resource expended already for the side of Team Falcons. Meanwhile, OP having the time of his life. Every single lane, he’s there pushing turrets. Big money, big XP, forcing F out of here. A Sonata almost lethal. Fortunately, Flap was able to block it out, but JP jumps in from the back to deliver the final blow onto F. JP might fall down here, but he stays alive as Oen jumps in to make sure to take him down. Shadowigi Shadow kill finally for Kyle TZ to trade out Sanji. We’ve only seen four kills so far in the past 7 minutes, but it feels like we we’ve already seen so much though. This is the third consecutive turtle that will go into the hands of Team Liquid. So, that’s an easy 5k gold lead for them already. Throughout those sequences, I’m talking about the past minute. Kyle hasn’t farmed anything. He had to be on guard and be ready to join fights. What did that lead to? Carl TZ maintaining his XP lead. We’re approaching a 3k XP lead here. And again, I don’t even want to talk about gold lane, man. Oh, is out farming Super Marco like crazy. This is the Baby Exo at work. Another jump in from Carl Tezy just for the spear of Alpha. They force out the raging Sandstorm now immediately transition to the middle lane to take it down. Auigi Shadow kill. Not enough damage. Sanford latches on to Flap Teas. Even if it’s a Bacha, they might be able to bring him down and face the kill off to Ohe. Oban might be the next target here. That’s Sonatas again for TPH and they converted those kills into objectives. Yeah, you’re starting to feel how TLPH definitely know that they’re running out of time. They have to make things quick because Super Marco is one of those he’s one of of he’s on one of those heroes that you will have a terrible time fighting up against if you do reach the late game. And we are at the mid game, the cusp of the Lord coming through. In about 40 seconds, Lord will spawn in the lower quarter. And again, the map just doesn’t agree and align with Falcons. It’s a shame that F can’t wings by wings from bush to bush. That flap can’t just roll up in the bushes cuz they have to protect their cores. Yeah, and apart from that, three consecutive neutral objectives, they had to concede because of the spike of an Alpha paired up with a Matilda. And now they might even be able to pop an energy shield down bottom and take away the orange buff. They take away Kyle Ty immediately disintegrated him down to the ground. Perfect timing. 15 seconds. Lord is up. That’s what I’m talking about again. Number one GPM and DPM all season long. Number two total kills. That’s a season MVP for season 15. Oh, and how did Kyle Tezy suddenly disappear like that? We we barely see any kills. There was no skyers or stacks. There were no sky pierers or stacks, but he just got deleted with a rapidity. So that just goes to show how much ahead OH is already in terms of his farm, in terms of his items. Now TPH capitalizing on that lead by taking away every single jungle creep that they can see. Kyle Tezy stuck at level 11 compared compared to Carl Ty who’s level 14. So automatically team Falcons have to concede this unless they go for the trade kills instead. I think that is the wise thing to do. Falcons just let it go. Just commit to defending. You are built to defend. You have the high ground advantage. You have good firepower to do just that. AK now ahead. Liquid Philippines and alone on OB alone 3,000 over Super Mario. Tell his coach, tell his mom, tell people online he’s got a lot of money. He has money. We’re not going to believe whatever he said in the past anymore. It’s different now. And it’s going to be easier for Team Liquid Philippines to to make use of this lord that they secured because they’ve already pretty much taken out some of the holy shields that are still intact for Team Falcons. Fortunately for them, they still have the one in mid and they have Super Marco. You know how reliable that Bennett rage that Libu’s passion is going to be when it comes to wave clear. Yeah, but the thing is deal page divecentric lineup can always disrupt the feathered air strike and the ults that can come from the Bayatrix, especially with the lead that they have. There goes the ultimate from Bayatrix trying to clear out the lord shield popped in mid, but Falcon take care of business. In comes Cali. Shadow kill. He has the quali shadow kill to be able to clear out the minions, but immediately flap teasy got deleted. The cavalry respecting the damage of the feathered air strike, but they were able to pop all energy shields. Not even the back shaft felt tanky enough. And now they’re going to transition to the mid lane. Look at Sanji. Even Sanji goes in with the Crimson Beacon to zone out. Team Falcons base now exposed. Super Marco able to clear it out, but there’s minions onto the bottom lane. Ob it goes. Two lanes exposed. Falcons have to defend. If in the mid game it was dire now approaching the late game, I don’t know what the worst is over worst because that is what they’re staring down. A 12k gold lead approaching. Oh, flap teasy trying to zone out and size up TLPH. I I think at best it’s a it’s a successful raging sandstorm into a Bennett’s rage for Super Marco and the Fed air strike, but so far Team Liquid Philippines, they’re not allowing themselves to be put in such a position. The lantern flare from Sanji was just too much in an instant in instantaneous burst there for Topa. Just an 11.5k gold lead. I’d hate to say it, but we’re throwing back the 2022 early 23. A slow paced stampede. Stanford again with the flicker in. They caught Kyle Tease. He feeds off the kill to Om. A double for the MVP and match point for Team Liquid Philippines. Precision macro put on display by the first seed of the regular season in season 15. Team Liquid Philippines one game away from going to the grand finals. Such a carefully executed, such a clean way and probably a different version indeed of the entire Liquid Stampede. I’m not comfortable with this Grandma Rockart. How they do that? Van Mash point was super super quick. I mean they figured out something very early on in that game and they did not let go. Yeah. Again it was just a remix of the previous draft except this time around TLP is drafting on the red side changing things up greatly. They went for the glue third pick then Matilda Alpha last two picks. Now, when it’s a lineup that has an assassin versus a lineup that’s focused for the fighter utility jungle, then the assassin lineup is willing to give up the early uh turtles, the first two ones, cuz you’re going to try to get ganks elsewhere, get wins elsewhere, but team Fakas just could not get that. Or if you are confident enough to play better than the opposing team, then you’re going to try to take it to them to the skirmishes. But the skirmishes that we saw that led to zero kills for a long amount of time meant that this guy got to farm up so easily. This was textbook old school utility jungle play style by Team Liquid Philippines. That meant that they fed into their carry, their gold laner, their regular season MVP to take control of this game quick. 1,1 GPM definitely got money in the bank. and with 100% KP as well. Basically filling out the whole graph. He did everything that was necessary for TLP to actually get into it. And yes, you can confirm he’s got money. You can ask for money. He is the rich guy. I mean, not the be rich guy, but he probably will be. Okay. So, for Falcons now, their lineup was again their choice. Uh they decided to keep drafting the same way. was the it was Team Liquid Philippines setting the tempo in the second phase with their glue third pick. There is a realm where they could have gotten uh this win, but it was more difficult to get there compared for Team Liquid Philippines. Again, the reason why the utility fighter jungle play style dominated for so long, especially when it’s paired up with a strong support ROR is cuz it’s easier to pull off. The lineup that Falcons has compared to the lineup of Team Link Philippines is more difficult to pull off and especially when it’s empowered by a really good and strong exp laner with great crowd control that breaks formations in the glue. Then Team Liquid Philippines definitely had this in the bag at the end of the draft with the way that they played. Yeah, it was just way too tough for Falcons to control. That’s right. And despite the lineup the Falcons looking like it could give you a good fight at the very late game. Yeah, with that Batrix and Super Marco, we did we were not given an opportunity to actually witness that bearing that is a 12 minute and 13 second game. So there was just no way for this lineup to shine. Few was the closest that we could get to see Falcons putting up a fight against TLPH. But then again, he was consistently getting dope on nonstop. Lantern flares over his head. It was just so hard to actually get things done by the Sparsa. Yeah, this was a fantastic game by Sanford, Carl, Teas, Sanji, and JP to set everything up for OH. The rotations of Team Liquid Philippines really good. They were able to invade the jungle at the right amount of times. They weren’t forcing things to happen because they knew naturally they had the easier lineup to pull off. again the deadlier lineup because they literally one ultimate from the alpha changes the picture of a team fight for uh team Falcons even though they have the counter in the feathered air strike that’s pretty much it counties he can only do so much with the damage of his shadow kill especially as you see he did not even scratch 20,000 damage dealt in this game only 18,327 because of the shields provided by the Matilda and confirmed he does have money he does have money 1 GPM Crazy. That’s the highest GPM we have so far in the playoffs. I think the closest was like 930 something by Kingpong. So this is absolute masterclass of how to use that Granger again. Nerf to the ground as much as you want, but you know what? You can never nerf the player. He is the Filipino sniper. Yeah, this is the great thing about the meta honestly um in a post that I made before the playoffs is this meta right now rewards creativity and flexibility. This was one of the main conditions here for Team Liquid Philippines. Show your adaptability to survive because this is the meta where assassins and fighters in the jungle equally thrive. All right, so we’re back in this screen right here and I think it was very clear what happened. Falcons just had a more difficult lineup against a lineup that’s literally two button presses away from being able to win the major objectives. Falcons, understandably so, in their chances to find wins in the early game, decided to back off when they needed to. Again, the thing that you really need to respect against a lineup that has a Matilda with it, the shields, that is such a game changer. And it took a while for uh Falcons to get their major defense items, uh healing reduction items as heroes, uh on the hands of like the likes of Flap and even Owen had to go for a different build path. No major objectives on the side of Falcons. Everything went Team Liquid’s way. Just a slow climb up for Team Liquid to dominate. And again, the age-old relationship between a lineup that has an assassin center core against a fighter center core. And the thing about Alpha is, yeah, you think of him as a utility fighter type of jungle, but the man, Cyberman, I guess you could call it. Yeah, he is a cyborg. Um, deals true damage. So, it’s like it has it’s like an assassin as well that’s tanky, that has strong spell vamp paired up with a Matilda. Crucial point here, of course, in the five to seven minute mark. As you saw, if Falcons were able to get a win there, could have been a different story, but they just could not. Let’s follow the path here of Super Marco compared to OH. 6 minutes was able to build up the sea halbird first. Uh between four and 5 minutes, OB already had the hunter strike maleific gun for Super Marco, which he really needed to rush out as quickly as possible so that he had more reach to deal with to pair up with the farsa better and to stay alive better while dealing damage. By the time he built his second item, already up to a maleific roar was OH. And when you get to this point and with the maleific roar on the marksman and the opposing jungler is not having a good time and is working through a deficit, that usually means the team that already has the main core items of the marksman will absolutely stomp the lineup that has the jungler still trying to catch up. Unless the marksman did some god mode farming, but no, it took 14 minutes for Super Marco to get to his blade of despair. It’s just no other way to put it, man. This is 100% all Team Liquid Philippines with the draft that they had and with how sharply they played it. So, now let’s look at the playoffs of where we are. The heroes used per role. see this very wide pool of exp laners exactly as I predicted online where this is the one of the main uh pinpoints of the draft that we have to think about because of the flexibility of that role and what you can pair up there. But then as the playoffs we went on we learned that all right jungles 100%. You can juggle it between fighters and assassins between the Bakshia Freder Lucas and the rest of the more mobile assassin pools that we have. We’re not just stuck in Joy versus Stuyo anymore. Thank goodness. The Rome pool as well, very varied all across the board, but the midlane pick is where it’s at. As we have one very important trade there, the Juicin and the Farsa. There’s a hero here though that I’m surprised we haven’t seen all series long in the Kimmy, which goes to show that these two teams are overrespecting. Number one, the midlane trade with the Farsa Juice and Lo Yi Eve, those heroes. And number two, the trade between the assassins of the Hayabusa and Ling. That’s why we haven’t seen Kimmy at all this series. That’s why we’ve seen one one respect band out and for the Basha, why that became such a lynch pin as the flexibility of that Baksha opens up so many possibilities in the drafts. Look at all the flex that you have that you can juggle between Rome exp and jungle. And even one of the key picks that we have yet to see in the draft is a flex as well in mid and gold. This is why the metal that we have for the MPL Philippine season 15 playoffs. And the playoffs for global MLBB esports in this meta game is one of the most diverse and creatively demanding metas that we have with all of the flex. It’s like a quiet creepin of the utility fighter uh jungle meta where where it’s not Yeah. where it’s not just locked into one role, it’s locked across many roles. And that’s exactly where I I actually imagined seeing MLBB for the longest time because I know we do we did so many shifts from fighter sorry from assassin to fighter to tank back to assassin and now it’s just like it’s it’s no man’s land in jungle where you go pick what you want what your composition needs and for the longest time we’re not stuck in a 1v one and I really love seeing that as well. Yeah. Uh well, speaking of no man’s land though, Falcons find themselves in no man uh no man’s land. They need to pull off an insane comeback here if they want. But again, they’re up against a team that just know how to control early to mid so well that I wouldn’t be surprised if this game number five goes Liquid’s way, breaking my Falcon Sky heart. And they do it in Liquid Stampede fashion. Falcons, whatever they’re talking about right now, has to be a major shift in draft identity, in draft priority that’ll shake up Team Liquid to their core. That’s right. And they’re literally under us. Yeah. Um we’re on a platform. They’re this the player is holding areas below. If if I’m not careful, I’m going to break through a ceiling and right into the huddle of Team Falcons in the middle of their meeting. If I I I’m just parked right here. So, we’re not trying We’re trying not to move. I’m just kidding. So yeah, uh right now in we’re seeing where the meta is, but what about where all of our teams are in terms of MSE and ECS I mean, 11 Fore this Sunday. There you go. From our fellow Filipinos, Cram and Innocent all the way in MPL Malaysia, our defending EWC champions, by the way. Yep. Uh yeah, and I love that he actually brought it up when we were literally talking about this. Such a diverse pool of heroes that even they are having a hard time. Yeah. Yeah. I really love that. So hopefully we’ll meet them in getting ready for Riad. From July 10 to August 2, it’s one game and two champions. So MSC, the Miss Season Cup, and the MLBB Women’s Invitational unite for the biggest MLBB showdown ever at EWC 2025. So don’t forget to get that MS 2025 tournament pass ticket, which are officially on sale. I’ll have to check that out. Yeah, get your pass for knockoff stage and grand finals now at weebook.com. That’s we.com. And don’t forget to watch the world’s best clash in Riyad. Don’t miss your seat and be part of the moment in MSE. Yeah. By the way, MWI 2025, the best women’s teams in the world. Also free for everyone. So don’t miss your chance to witness the pinnacle of women’s esports live. That’s a celebration of scale, passion, and progress. Join us and be part of history celebrating our women in esports. Yeah, honestly being part of uh MWI last year in Riyad was uh one of my favorite events uh for 2024. The crowd there is really great. The women of MLBB Esports are so fun to talk to, so fun to get to know. They’re always so happy to meet the new fans. So, please catch MWI if you can in Riyad. Yeah, it’s really going to be fun. So, book it now. And these are basically the representatives of Lacas Npas. They have they embody they embody this term and show us why we are the home of the champions from M4, M5 and M6. The three remaining teams in the playoffs have won all of those trophies. It was it’s been three years since the Philippines as a region has won the midseason cup. It’s sort of a poetry to it that the world championship winning rosters or at least versions thereof the last from the last three world championships are now at the top three. It feels like we’re seeing a potential you know it’s like a combine for the Philippines to see if come on we we got to make each other stronger. Yeah, only one of us can be champions here, but everything just so that the Philippines can get back on top of the mountain at the end of the mid-season cup because again, we’ve been winning world championships, but the mid-season cup is now uh as equal in in terms of illustriousness and it’s been a while since seen a PH team get that prize. That’s right. Although we have been pushing each other to the limit, I feel like in this whole meta game, every single team in MPL Philippines seems like a possible contender for that cup. So, at this point, I wouldn’t put it past us. And EWC, you better be ready. And one of these teams definitely will be joining us in the battle for immortality as well, cuz again, don’t forget the winner here will be joining the grand finals tomorrow in another best of seven. I mean, they already will book their ticket. Whoever wins here will be booking their ticket. So, that’ll be really fun. Yeah. By the way, side selection update. Team Liquid Philippines has picked the blue side for this very crucial game number four, wherein if they win this, they are going to the grand finals to face off against Arnic Philippines. One step closer to immortality. They will take down the rivals in the Clash of Titans. They will go to Riad for NBC at EWC 2025. Blue side Liquid is great for them cuz they have the Loi, the Juicin, the Granger, the Glue to play around. And both teams have decided, let’s change up the pace of the mid lane trade. Juice in banned by Liquid, Loi banned by Falcons. You think we’re going to this will change things up definitely. We’ve seen the Jian for almost all of the past few games. I think it was only except one. And it was in game number one wherein we didn’t see the Jian cuz it was also banned by PLPH when they were on the blue side. So we’re turning back to their sides in game number one. This is exactly how they were in game number one. Oh, so getting into it, we still have no global presence. Li and Shim basically just respect banned all season, sorry, all series long after that immense game. Yeah, I think it’s it’s the Hayabusa that’s going to be open for this game alongside the other junglers too since the joy is yet to be banned out. Yeah, there’s actually a chance you might see the joy here, but the Kaas also open in game number one. Fanny, Juice, and Hayabusa was the ban of Team Liquid while Falcons banned Chip Klaya joy. Again, we were talking about this at the end of game number three, man, the midlane focus. So, Falcons are leaning onto that. They’ve decided that Sanji is their biggest headache in this series so far. Liquid open up with a joy. Ka Batang, Kala Granger open for Falcons. I wouldn’t be surprised if they also pick up their mid laner in this first free Falcons if they can deny even more from that mid lane mage Sanji. So it’s um probably the Kala like uh Falcons may consider the Kala at this point. Yeah. So, they have ways. I mean, the title strike into the Joy works really well, especially if you want to just break the momentum of a Joy trying to go in and looking for the stacks. Uh, 100% they get the KA. Uh, whether or not they’ll get the Granger suddenly swerve and show up at Joy, I don’t excuse me, and Eve, I don’t think that’ll happen though. Granger and is it going to be the Yep, it is. Okay, that’s uh that’s one way to break the tempo of the LTH. remove that muscle memory of the Granger from OH. It’s pretty smart. Uh so now um as you mentioned, there are so many mid lane picks which are already taken out. So might they want to consider picking up their mid lane here? Oh, nasty. Valentina, the hero that was on the hands of Sanji as the lone stallion, last man standing in game four of the grand finals of MBL season 13 against then Falcons AP Bred. Can he pull off heroics again as they are potentially trying to block off a Lucas jungle pick on the side of Falcons? Yeah, and I will never forget how Sanji on the Valentina one time in the regular season even stole away the dead Solata like he’s been doing all those tricks on the Valentina and ultimately it does really block off one of the most probably one of the best possible options for team Falcons at this point. Not to mention he also has access to the title uh zombies slam rather. H I I wanted to say it the Frederick is the best option right now for Falcons. They could not go Suyo. That is three magic damage dealers. They couldn’t go Lucas cuz there’s a Valentino on the other side. They can’t go anything like a or whatnot. Fredin has to be the base here for Falcons. Liquid also picking up this Valentina means they’re thinking in the long run. They’re thinking ahead of potentially blocking a Phamis pickup from F. If Falcons decide to pick up Phamis in in this draft. Yeah, it’s going to be uh the timing of the whoever gets the better timing of their Nether Realm. That’s going to be the main trade here. Yeah, I really want to be able to at least complement though um the crowd control, the massive amounts of crowd control coming in from Falcons right now in terms of the energy eruption and the tsunami slam title strike combo. So, I think they need a little bit more burst on that mid. Hopefully, they can find it though. uh cuz it’ll take some time for Super Mario to get into shape with that Ranger. Yeah. And it’s always been the fast rotations that have made a huge impact on the outcome of the early game between these two teams. But even in terms of that, the options look quite limited. Unless they’re going to opt for something along the lines of uh what a a Kimmy mid is there. Although there’s a joy on the other side, so it’s it doesn’t look too well. Uh I think Falcons might even want to consider the Selena if they want to pick up a hero that necessarily uh that won’t have an ultimate that could be stolen away by Sanji’s Valentina, meaning that the energy eruption of the Freder is going to be the main target of Sanji instead. He can still use that for crowd control. I mean, he was on the M6 World Championship when Super did that crazy play in the top lane as a Valentina cosplay playing as a Frederan. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if Selena is being considered here, but something in my gut tells me Phamis right now is the main debate for Falcons. Phamis or Selena? Famus has been stopped all series long, has it? Um, sorry. No, Selena rather. Yeah, Selena has been interesting. It has. See that? So, do they reveal it here? They go for the focus first. They’re really saving Fuse Hero for last. Yeah. I mean, he’s one of the most flexible or like the one of the players with the deepest hero pool too. Team Liquid Philippines. We’re looking at what role the Vakra will be put into. Think you put that already in the Rome for JP. The Baka Valentina joy together in the center of the map means the chances of Liquid Stampede happening are going to be so much higher since they’re all magic. Magic scales relatively quicker as they are cool down based. At the same time, you reduce the healing of the Kaa and again the Baksha being one of the main reasons why or excuse me, one of the main counters to the Kaa as to why he’s popped up. What if they carry here or something? Yeah. Uh I’m okay with the carry. Sanford Terisla. Good call on the carry there. Great draft by Liquid. This is built for Stampy. They can end this quickly. And this is what I was saying yesterday, the Turisla against the Freder. Like it’s these kinds of lineups where the Terrarisa has an easy time just landing the penalty zone on his targets. That’s right. It’s also a bit more durable in terms of enduring the the tsunami slam combo just in case and you get energy eruption. You can kind of disrupt the front free. Do you still Selena here? Maybe checkmate. Uh can F play Valer? Ooh. Uh, with all the slow front to back might be good, but they’re giving Valentina a few pure free purify, meaning Sanji can pick up uh, flinker instead. Oh, wow. It’s been a hot minute. Sicilion back. It’s been a while. This guy has been snubbed as well, like for the entire playoffs. I feel Falcons has decided their fate here lies in the mid to the late game. This is them saying, “Yep, early to mid it does not look good for us, but if they can hold on, then the Sicilian and Granger will be able to deal the damage that Falcons needs.” That’s what we’re going to look for here in game number four or five rather. And we are getting into a pretty good lineup for TPH. I think I kind of agree with what Renoir said. They’ve got the solid lineup that can really shred through the Phobius and the Serin and uh yeah, looking really good. It’s a good old Liquid Stampede. They can end this quick against the resiliency of the Falcons. Which one is stronger? That’s right now as we load them up in game number five here. TLPH versus Falcons. The cavalry stomping towards immortality. One game away from the grand finals. Can the Falcons soar in just in time to stop the ascent? Welcome to game number five. Leo at your service alongside Josean and Brigida bringing you the action. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Sicilian. How do you feel with this core coming in in the hands of the GOAT? Yeah, it ensures that if ever they don’t have a good start and if they can extend it towards the late game, they can rely on F to clear out the waves to clear out the push and eventually have a comeback for team Falcons. Super Marco early cast him to flicker out. Yep, he already had to burn his flicker since Carl TZ’s jungling pattern, he was able to go first towards the gold lane. But this is something you would expect from Team Liquid Philippines, which is why you need double the uh mindfulness from team from Team Falcon. But wait. Oh, okay. A flicker for a purify. Yeah. Yeah. Cross map. I feel like they’ll be okay with that, especially heading into the first objective. Again, Team Liquid Philippines, the way they drafted two, it looks really well in terms of the mid-range capabilities. And team Falcons knowing that the purify won’t be available, it could be easier for them to call whoever they want to target in the next team fight. So far, I’m still counting the moments that few isn’t in harm’s way cuz every minute that passes by that Falcon is still in the game, that few is actually doing well gets them closer to victory, gets them closer to equalizing the series. Yeah. And not to mention Super Marco, assuming he scales up, get the stacks in, even with his uh sky piercer, things would go well for them. But again, the problem still remains for Team Falcons. Even if they have a tanky Freder, if Om the MVP starts to be online, could be hard for Team Falcons. Wow. Fourman rotations immediately. They’re starting the turtle. Penalty zone coming in from Sanford here. Who’s going to get the turtle? Still going to go in hands of Kyle Tezy. Now they want to extend their lead by taking down Sanford. Flap TZ. Infernal pursuit is going to bring him down. Next target is JP as Oak picks up the kill. Two free kills plus a major objective towards the Falcons. Carl Ty struggling to get his orange. Beautiful dark wave paired up with a tsunami slam. Carl Tezy is getting ganked up by three in an amazing start for Team Falcons. Yep. Team Falcons were quick to decide on what to do. They decided to burst down the turtle. They had four members there who were early in terms of the setup. And Carl Tzy wasn’t even able to finish getting his orange buffs. He was already forced to provide assistance to team Liquid Philippines who then were clearly losing out since they were able to already isolate Sanford. So this past few minutes like that entire sequence prior what we’re seeing right now, they’ve been perfectly in favor of Team Falcons. There seemed to be no plan going into that first turtle. If there was, we didn’t see any semblance of it. Yeah. Or it could be disrupted by the good initiation there for Team Falcons. And you guys mentioned that the more this game holds on, the better it is for Team Falcons, considering that F is on the Sicilian. But what way to, you know, uh, make that power spike faster with a 300 start in a 1.8K gold lead. This is greater than better, man. This is amazing because Falcons is staring down a 2k gold lead. And it seems like Liquid aren’t even pressing uh down on their resources. Like, they’re just folding. I don’t know what’s up with this non-aggressive approach suddenly. Yeah, everything just falls into place for Team Falcons. The way they were able to force out the purify for Sanji and Sanji is someone you expect to be at the turtle fight. It’s a completely different scenario if we’re talking about how they forced out the flicker from Super Marco because you know what Super Marco does on the Granger when it comes to the early game? He’s just all about farming. He’s just all about getting the PPI rich guy. So far, it seems to be a tandem approach to Team Liquid’s comeback in game number five. They’re sending these pairs of heroes to do things on the map. That’s top lane, OH and Sanji. And it seems like the call is just don’t go for the turtle anymore. We already lost. Yeah, I mean, if you’re going to look at it at least for Oh, wait a minute. There’s going to be a tsunami slam, but it was Sanji and Owen counters out with his own tsunami slam as Knees enters in with the energy eruption. Sander jumps in with a penalty zone. Oak’s quite low, so he has to back off. Kyle TZ trying to soak up the damage, but he’s getting stunned out by four members. He was able to dash in, but Sasport with a final blow to bring off Kyle TZ. It’s so similar to what happened earlier, except it’s more successful this time. Carl TZ resuming the purple buff he had to let go of just to provide the damage for Team Liquid. Since you did mention it earlier, they’re really investing much of their resources onto OP because that’s where primarily the damage will come from. at most right now it’s from Carl. So he really has to juggle between balancing his farm and being able to follow up on his team. He’s doing everything again just goat things for Carl Sezy keeping TP in the game compared to the previous game where in team Falcons conceded all neutral objectives. The better part is for TP they’re at least doing something. You mentioned that they’re sending out many squads of twos to try and go for the push and even go for trades. It’s looking good still for TP. A minute before another turtle spawns the upper quarter this time. JP gets caught with a tsunami slack. Let’s see if JP can out sustain this. A lot of chain CC and now feeds off the kill to Super Marco. A concealed to speed things up and try and go for the top lane turret as Kyle TZ zones out Sanford. Ah, that’s tough. You can’t be spotted using the back back to shield. Unity. Once they find you doing that, they just cancel it. go for the commit because there’s no way for JB to escape those kinds of scenarios. He’s only on the revitaliz so he can be a potential easy target for team Falcons when they’re always grouped up together. That’s a hard pill to swallow is the box has no out. He has an in clearly the box unite the revitalized but no way out so you have to be careful. So far still approaching 3k ahead about the same spot we saw thousands last 2 or 3 minutes ago and that translates to about a thousand between OB and Marco. Carl Dy looking to isolate flat but he’s too chunky. Yeah, old teammates having a 1 v one down bottom as Kyle Tezy works on this turtle. Now team Falcons will be able to respond there and it looked like TL Peach again will concede this neutral objectives as Falcon secure the turtle. They’re letting it up. They also know that um Carl Tezy still has something to accomplish down bottom. And now as he wants to secure his purple but he might break out a team might break out. There’s no Reggie for Carl Tezy here. So he’s going for the kills instead. Sanford goes in with a penalty zone to zone out Super Marco. JP trying to tank up the damage but Sanford is the first man down. TP has to disperse but Omen jumps in and feeds off another double kill to Super Marco. It’s looking like it’s going sideways as Kyle DT goes down. Super Marco going with a triple triple kill for Super Marco. Even expended flicker to make sure he catches Carl Tezy. And now that’s going to be a 71 scoreboard for Team Falcons as they focus their attention on the middle lane. Oh, Te Liquid. They tried to do so much just so OH could also get his early power spike. I mean, they handed over the energy shields if it’s just that they provided the assistance that was necessary for him to somewhat manage the lane a bit better. But now look at how they’re the first to lose their tier one turret. Look at how he’s now 2k behind Super Marco with that 40 KDA. Marco chasing down Liquid like they owe him money. Currently at about 400 stacks, 40 Sky Piercer stacks as well. It’s an unbothered game for Super Marco. Not to mention for F. Yeah, F is having the time of his life. He’s the late game insurance that they need. Even if they’re not even sure if it’s going to reach the late game with how things are going for team Falcons. Owen also almost all his setups are connecting and transitioning not just to kills but to objective takedown. That’s why all first tier turrets as you mentioned are gone for TPH. Yep. They have so many ways to start things up, but they have so many unanswered problems. Now that or if ever they do decide to engage in a fight, ever JP decides to jump on someone, that’s not going to be F. There’s no way it’s going to be F. Not unless he puts himself in a dangerous position, it’s always going to be either Flap Kyle or Owen. And these are targets who can immediately go for the punish. Not to mention, F has his purify off of cool down. So if ever if ever some way somehow 40 or JP find him, it’s a simple battle spell ult walk away. Free lord here going over to Falcons as top lane just gets stolen away by Liquid. It’s the only thing they can do. Yeah, at this point TPH is happy with that. They didn’t overcommit and try to go for at least kill trades for that Lord take after Team Falcons got in. At this point, they were able to push down at least one turret up top. But the problem remains as a 5k gold lead for Team Falcons. Yep. They’ll have to defend this upcoming lord. They do have the resources, but Kyle’s easy. Mighty go for a pickup. Energy eruption. Okay, Sanji jumps in with his stolen tsunami slam, but he had to pop his purify. So again, no purify for Sanji in a crucial defense for the cavalry. Liquid has the counter blessings. Number one, Sanji survives. Number two, they’re keeping bottom lane tier two. Number three is they’re making good time here to defend the Lord. They’ll have to sacrifice his tier two up top. holy defense in mid, but that’s all in the face of inevitable defeat. Falcons are slowly rolling up their base. Yeah, interestingly enough though, I think this is something you would expect in a joy matchup. The gold seems to favor Carl Tezy nonetheless. But wait, jumps in and immediately they burst down Sanford. Just look at the damage from the whole squad of Team Fountains despite the revitaliz of JP. He’s quite low now. Sanji desperately trying to defend that. Oh, have had to pop his purify there, but they do however be able to clear out the lord. Oh, turret’s not going to stay. That’s a penetrated top lane. Oh, might be a kill. And Blapy jumps in and feeds off the kill again to Super Marco, but exchange for Owen. And now Sagi as well is gone. Carl Ty trying to defend the mid lane turret and they will do so successfully. But Kyle again jumps in. He was able to dodge out the energy eruption and save out their mid lane turret. They had to sacrifice so much the way they were trying to hold on that top lane turret, but they had to give up JP. They had to give up Sanji. And there are just so many ways for Falcons to hold down any member of Team Liquid if they wanted to. So he was just too free. Clap Tether crown play midair to try and save himself as Kyle jumps in again and catches Sanford. Super Marco delivering the bullets. JP quite low. gets Sonata, but Super Marco stops there. That was just a warning shot. Here’s the painful truth. Liquid aren’t even halfway ready to pick a fight with Falcons. You saw how OH was just struggling to stay in that fight throughout the pin wheel throughout the nothing. Falcons just kept walking up. It’s another conceal from Owen, too. He doesn’t have the flicker, but that’s already enough. So, they could zone away the members of Team Liquid and take down this mid lane turret. So whatever they were trying to defend and hold on to one by one, they’re slowly disappearing from their eyes. 8K now. Falcons looking at an 8k gold lead with a lord spawning in the upper quarter. I don’t know. All right, we we’ve seen crazier things happen in the playoffs, but Liquid, it would be wise not to try and contest. Yeah, I mean crazy things happen, especially if Sanji has his hands on the Lousie. But in this case, he has a Valentina that most of the time can only get the tsunami slam. Now JP again being the main target of Team Falcon already committed the tsunami slam onto him as Super Marco bursts him down. Southberg from the back. They might be able to catch down F, but Super Marco picks up a double. A kill onto F, but a triple from Marco. Oh, Master’s back. A double for the MVP. And that’s going to be a 4 for three trade. That’s a bargain for Team Liquid Philippines. And this puts him in a position wherein they’re confident that Falcons won’t burst the lord. There’s nobody there to take it. Yeah. And at least it was enough time bought for Team Liquid Philippines. At that point, they were forced to attack because Owen already committed the tsunami slam to JP. Yep. And you’re starting to see the pattern so far now that Team Liquid Philippines, they’re starting to feel the damage from OH. You cannot simply go for JP whenever you wanted to. You have to take into account wherever the other members of Team Liquid Philippines are because OH can just throw out those shurikens and just deal the damage especially towards the other members of Team Falcons. And that’s also including Carl TZ who can just dash through everyone and go to whoever he wants to target. Okay, maybe 5 minutes ago they weren’t halfway. Now they’re approaching that point. Oh, hurts. Lord now at about a fourth of its health, a fifth and it gets a soft reset. Kyote lets it go. Let’s see if TLPH can put out a miracle here up against Team Falcon. They were able to dwindle down the lead of Team Falcon. Sanji quite low, so he has to back off. They’re bursting down the Lord. TP conceds. Yep, they can’t risk it. Sanji was too low. And if Team Falcons did force out a team fight, which is possible that they do, it’s likely that they do since they have to they already took note of how Sanji was already poked down. Then it could have been worse for Team Liquid. They barely have any turrets remaining in their base and now all they have to do is hold on to their defense capabilities. Literally just one turret bottom lane. Liquid has to use that turret, the inhibitor to buy time and fight because again the only real way I see Liquid coming back from this and even surviving to defend is by turning on Falcon. So they’re going to need to use that turret to try and get extra firepower from the extra damage because Falcons is such a chunky lineup coming in. But is there enough time for TLPH to reach that time for both of these teams as the Lord sieges in to the middle lane? Owen waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. The Sanguin claws are also connecting. Kyle TZ jumps in. No more inhibited turrets for TP. They buy time. They use that turret like a meat shield. We’re just being reminded of how terrifying a Granger Sicilon combo is now. Team Liquid Philippines are clearly struggling to deal with it. Open jumps in. There comes the tsunami slam. They’re trying to burst down JP alongside Sanford. Call Ty from the back. He catches F and brings him down. Winter crown plays from Te Falcon, but they can unsustain it. Carl TZ is going to fall down. Omega kill for O but Falcons. Super Marco is there. JP alone and team Falcons, they survive this series. Not so fast. Match point nothing. The game continues. Falcons score 3 to2. Wa. At first, this cannot end with a sweep. And now it also cannot end in just four or five games. This is why they call him Titans of MLBB. Everyone looks up to Liquid and the Falcons. Redmond Rockard, break it down. That was just awesome all. Oh my goodness. So that’s two dominant wins for Falcons in this series. And yeah, a throwback to when they won a world championship with a Freder. Well, you know, there was something about the lineup of uh Vakas that I really thought that they would lose the early to mid, but then they did one thing so well early on. There was a time where F was considered one of the best carry players in the game. So, what they did was, let’s funnel all our rotations and early game resources to the Sicilian, control the center of the map with Fu, get his stacks and farm up so that by the time Super Marco gets his items and is farmed up, the damage is equal. Both the Sicilian and the Granger together hit the apex of their damage at the same time in this game. Yeah, we saw a lot of that in this game where we saw when F died, he actually the the gameplay Falcons actually slowed down that was near the end. So the moment you went back and you know it was game time again, but Super Marco wouldn’t be able to achieve this again. Rita brought it up. Sicilian and Granger on the same team past 10 minutes. It’s just a scary force to reckon. Yeah. And Falcus, it seems like they had a game plan. All right. So, all of us are going to be putting uh a few in a comfortable spot to farm up. Let’s get trades in mid. Okay. At the same time, Super Marco, double lane when you can. If you can’t, wait for us. We’re going to go up to your lane and make sure that you can get some farm and get some advantage overhead. So, Falcas were clear. They played around the idea of two cores. Not just try to funnel into one, but everything for F and Super Marco. all the rotations to the center of the map, the aggressive positioning of Kyle and Flap teasy and Owen being so gung-ho with pulling the trigger with his tsunami slam. All of that so that F can get stacks and all of that so that Super Marco has all the space in the world. Yeah, Super Marco just had a fun time on this ranger. You could see the struggle of on that carry. I mean still pretty good, but he was basically overwhelmed by bodies here. That’s what Falcons did. So they don’t they can kind of mitigate what the carry was doing in a lot of these fights. I mean not saying it’s really it’s it’s still a really good pick, but you can see that he was struggling to pick targets with a jumping phobia with open so scary around the map. It was just not as easy as the time with the carry and that was when Super Marco could really shine. Winter crown right there at the end just in time. He was the one who got tsunami slammed by Sanji, but the fact that he was able to pop off the winter crown, survive the onslaught of that damage meant that he could dash back, deal the damage that they needed to seal off the victory. Falcons had a far sturdier lineup. The Frederickin third pick was perfect. I just did not foresee the adjustment in rotation that they were going to do in the early game so that instead of waiting for mid to late, they’re the ones who controlled early. Yeah, mid to late was just phenomenal for the Cecilio and the Granger fully stacked up and ready to go. Plus the micro on Super Marco. That’s just such a good combo. He’s 14 and one and a few didn’t get any kills, but you bet your butt he really got a lot of those assists. Yeah, and you saw that for the side of Team Liquid Philippines this time though that Carl Tezy was still as Bria pointed out was able to farm up and we saw in the main sequence where in both F and Super Marco went down. It was the efforts of Carl Tezy and and even OB being able to find a good angle of entry into the fight from the wings to be able to take down the back line. They were still lacking something. JB and Sanford didn’t survive long enough. Flap teasy and Kyle teasy always survived long enough. They were the main walls of this lineup that centered around the pickoffs of the Kaa while it was the Phobius and the Frederick together that was holding down the front. I really don’t envy Sanford in this game by the way. He died so many times that early and there was just no hesitation from Oakland to actually pick off that guy that big beefy guy in front. Usually you’d want to avoid it. If you’re a Klay, you want to go ahead and power curry Hi Rollola. But no, whoever’s on front got taken out so easily. Super Marco, good trust on your DPS. Yeah, and it really looked like Super Marco also just uh won the lading phase straight up up against OH. Uh always pushing OH back into the lane. And even though OH was still able to keep up in the farm and kept things close, Team Late Philippines eventually equalized their rotation so that OH would get more farm as well. Again, the main point here, the Sicilian and the Granger just hit their power packs in the exact same time. Yeah, hitting it 977 GPM. Not quite hitting the peak, but that is scary for a Granger in the short amount of time game time that we actually have. So, uh, again, all of this enabled so well by the team, by the rest of the team. Owen just very happy to serve it up on silver platter. All right. So, uh let’s break down the nitty-gritty of the game here and we’re going to look at the gold graph first. So, uh follow the red line that is team Falcon. So, for the first four minutes, still neck and neck, but you see here around the 2-minute mark is when it started to diverge for these two teams. Falcons were the ones who was able to get the first turtle of the game. So again with the rotations that they had feeding more to few and the Sicilian specifically they were able to keep it in such a pace that the gold graph would continue leaning towards their side that there’ll always be a gap between them. They’re getting objectives. Team Liquid Philippines did not get their first tower until 8 minutes and 30 seconds. Understandably so. Again, similar to when Team Liquid Philippines played the Afo Mathilda earlier, Team Falcons playing the Kale of Frederickin this time around meant that they were willing to give up their early game objectives, which I feel like there were some moments though in the early game that Team Liquid Philippines could have been a little bit more aggressive, but similar to what Falcons tried to do against the Matilda Alpha, except this time it felt like there was just a little bit of overrespect towards the tankier Freder and what Falcons brings to the table. It seems like they just double down the idea of okay, we’re the ones who’s going to wait for our middle of the late game power spikes, wait for the power spikes of the joy and the carry while Falcons took the approach that we thought that Team Liquid would be taking. They were the ones who were controlling early to mid. So, let’s look at the Sicilian of F and the Granger of Super Marco. So, by the time F got to build up the glowing wand, it was 6 minutes into the game. So the three core items of the Granger are already locked in before 10 minutes. F got his magic lantern between 10 to 12. So that’s around 11. But what F was getting was a bunch of stacks. Remember with Sicilian, the more mana he has, the better the damage he’ll be able to do with it as well. And that’s what he was getting. The rotations of Flap constantly leaving lane when he can. Kyle, Teasy, Owen, and Flap all meeting towards the center, towards the river to help F. There was an image early on in the game before the first turtle got up there. It looked like F just had a bunch of bodyguards. And that’s what Falcons were doing. All of the opportunities that they could get to make sure F safely got minion waves and get his stacks, they made the most out of. Going back again to the example that I just stated, Flap barely touched that minion wave. He just stood there so that he could get the passive exp from the minions going down, but made sure that F would be the one getting the stacks from the minion wave hits with his abilities. Let’s go back to comparing Super Marco again in this one. Game number five, eight minutes in, Midame stats. Crazy farm gold still within uh reasonable range usually, but the gold diff 2,000 uh plus damage dealt 9,000 more. Kill participation more than half of the kills Super Marco was part of and the kills and assist. Super Marco was there when Team Falcons needed him to. Fantastic drafting by Team Falcons. The Freder pick. And then again, the most important part, adjusting the rotations so that the mid to the late game will come much quicker. Team Liquid Philippines doubled down on the idea of, you know what, let’s just farm first. Let’s just make sure that we get our items first and then we’ll go. An approach that eventually hurt Team Liquid Philippines. An approach that eventually benefited Falcons to force a game number six. Let’s look back at the draft that happened there. The Frederick third pick Granger Koa first pick up against the Joy. Tails all this time. Frederick verse the Joy. Joy will struggle especially if you are a little bit more reserved in your approach but Falcons around the Sicilian around few were considerably more aggressive. Fantastic adjustment by Falcons. Something that you don’t usually see but they played the perfect strat heading into this game. It’s just very rare to to see Carl Hazy, by the way, on this joy. Not as scary or not as proactive as we we were very used to him see to seeing him. Oh, yeah. It just feels like uh it could have been more impactful in this specific game where they were buying time for this carry to actually get in the form to be able to shred the Fuse or the Freder in a matter of seconds. We did not see that. And to be fair, it was just really good mid control by those three of Falcons that really enabled or slowed down this joy from going crazy and just running away with the game. Yeah. Uh again, I understand uh the approach that Team Liquid Philippines went for. The fact that Sanji on the Valentina of course had a very difficult game. It’s difficult for Valentina to deal the damage here. Uh, so they just had to play with the cards that they were dealt and we’ll see if that’s going to change later on cuz right now we have to take a little bit of a breaver. Let’s roll over our MPL playgrounds. Champions Arena because outside of Champions Arena, we have MPL playgrounds where you can go here for free.

Onyx Philippines for performance. If you’re here at the venue, don’t miss the chance to visit MPL playgrounds here at ground floor. We have games, boots, fun for all MPL fans. And for those watching from home, you can still join the action at Greenson Matti for our official watch party hangout with Ben. We’ve also got cosplay performances and exciting giveaways. Let’s hang out and have fun together. The MPL playgrounds is open for free on first come first serve basis depending on the capacity. That’s it for MPL playgrounds. Now let’s head back to the Champions Arena. There you go. That’s Kooi with the MPL playground. They actually visited that a few moments uh like last night. Oh, it was really fun. It was really fun vibe. They also have like a big screen where you can watch the games while you’re browsing around looking at the TL merch. Yeah. I mean, it’s really cool to celebrate the the games here, but then you’re downstairs surrounded by merch while watching and it’s fun and you might spend money. It’s a test of willpower, honestly. Honestly. Yeah, that’s true. Here’s PH versus the world MC and MC series win rate versus other regions and you will notice a very very interesting trend. It’s pretty high. So this is our numbers okay against the world and of course with uh the storied rivalry against the teams from Indonesia. Of course they are so far like our best competitors. So BH versus other regions alltime match stats. We played 139 matches against teams from other regions. We have 108 wins. Ties are because some series are just BO2. It’s just one to one. And that’s why there are ties. Don’t worry. Yeah. Not because the break the base broke at the same time. 29 losses with a match win rate of 77.7%. Meanwhile, PH versus other regions alltime game stats still really good as well. We stay winning. Philippines stay winning. So basically if uh if the Philippines had uh an MLBB profile and you search their ID number, this is the win rate that they will appear on their profiles. It’s very high. It’s always like above 60%. There was an interesting Yeah, there was an interesting number that I saw there though that in uh MSC it looks like no Cambodian team has yet to win against a series. They’ve been able to win games but uh haven’t won in 10 series against Filipino teams. Maybe that might be something they’ll change up in uh MSE. Of course, uh we got a feature yesterday from Liing, one of the casters from MPL Cambodia, who said he was very happy to see CFU Gaming go back to back and go to MSE. So, yeah, it’ll be very exciting to see CFU back in action in MSE. That’s right. And again, every single team in the world is just improved just because if you’re watching, you’re learning so much from each other as well. Uh that’s just evolution of it. I mean the Phil it’s I’m actually very amazed that the Philippines has been able to keep this high level Oh yeah of dominance for a longer time and I really feel like this year might be as close as they’ll ever get. Yeah. Well I mean come on we haven’t won MCC in two years. Got to give it to Audic Essports. Got to give it to S. There’s just something with MSC. There’s there’s something with MSE. We win it two in a row with execration and then RSG, but then after that it just been like there’s some things that science cannot explain and MSE is one of them. Let’s go into the draft for game number six again. Request backup from Brigade. Hello. Hello. So, we aren’t going home with just a game number five. We are slowly getting closer to maxing out the series. Yeah, I’m sure we will. Oh, we’re going to game seven. He’s calling it. Saying it now right now. We’re going to game seven. The Falcons guy’s calling it. Calling it. What do you know? All right, we’ll see a bit of a slower Okay, I’m a little surprised we’re seeing a slow start here on the draft for Falcons. Normally, this would be the phase where Trevor is just, okay, guys, lock it in. 1 2 3 4 5 Let’s go. No, it’s not happening. You got to go for a unique pick here. And it is the box because if they went for the joy, that means the LPH would go for the Frederick instead. Yeah. And they they actually banned out the joy. So, Oh, right. Yes. Now, that leaves the Granger that they should definitely ste from Super Marco as much as they can and potentially what other options are still out there. I think they’ll they can just alo just go greener honestly. Yeah, although although I’m not entirely sure if it’s been effective for TL, so they’ll change things up and actually get the high with glue. Yeah, that’s that’s a massive swerve cuz now if Falcons want to go front to back, they have they now have to think about their damage profile. Also for TLPH, I wonder if Falcons will consider picking up I think they go far Granger just to be safe. They have to show their course already and then just accept the fact that TLP will be able to pick uh into it instead. But if they go for the farms, wait. Oh, the swerves. Oh, okay. Oo, they’re going for the unexpected moves and the dress. I actually like this. This is something that is a it’s a bit of a power move, isn’t it? When you pick up your Lucas, you make sure Valentine is locked in on the next slot. there’s just no way to actually uh slow it down if he decides to go on XP. So, there’s a lot of flexibility still that we could see from this first rep of Falcons. I like what I’m seeing. And there’s still a Matilda, too. So, I’m not entirely sure if Oaken will be considering that later on, but Flap has had a history of using the bash XP. So, speaking of the Matilda, they steal it away. They deny it from Team Falcons, which I feel is a safe option as well if you’re TLPH at this point. Yeah, although this lineup of Team Liquid might be a little bit susceptible to an Esmeralda. However, there is a glue on the other side that can just easily grab onto the Esme and might be enough of an answer already for it. There is a Bakshio also on the side of Falcus which now I think the Matilda forces the Bakshia to go Rome so that more often than not you’re actually being able to dish out the healing reduction if you can. What an alpha bat took out the alpha as well. Wow. And the Granger too for Super Marco. So they’re narrowing down the choices or the options for Carl Tezy. But hey, I mean I’m okay. We’ll be we we’re closing into maybe seeing the Lancelot. Oh, that’s what you’re going for. That’s what you want to see, Brian, though. No, but this is actually Matilda, so they actually want to go for that kind of route. I mean, the link’s still open, too. But you have to consider the Paka and the Lucas already and the Valentina actually. That’s a gnarly ban of the export, by the way. That’s really cool. Uh they’re just covering their bases. That could have tamed really well with the Matilda. Matilda Xorg would have been nightmare for the Lucas. Matilda Alpha would have been able to match really well. All this Carl on the Frederick Matilda uh they’re going all in dive. Not a lot of reach. The reach is going to come through their mid laner and it’s just a lot of magic damage early on. And the far is still open too if ever they want to go for that. Although there is a Valentina in the side of team Falcons, I feel like it’ll pair up well with the lineup that they have so far. Unless they want to change it up a bit, but for now they’re looking at an XP lane. Yeah. Or do they go damage with their exp? But it’s a glue on the other side. The Lucas and the Baka might have too much pressure if they’re the only front lines. Is it really going to be an Esme or might just be could go could work well here proving all those shields provided by the tilda as well as Okay. But it’s a high loss instead. Oh, okay. This has to be a double revitalized comp by Falcons. Uh they really want to make the most out of the Basher and the high loss together. Have to go double revitalize and then rush Dominus Isis when they can. Yep. So Sanji has to make a decision here. Looks good. What are you willing to give to the Valentina? Far is open, but you don’t want to give that as much as possible. So that’s a bit of a problem. Kimmy, the Sicilian was there earlier, too. But they’re still going for the fara. Okay. Okay, that’s not bad. That’s not bad. I mean, it’s just a better air strike. It feels like this is a fara versus far match up, but then again, it is a bit of a more mobile on the left. Looking more XP, though. Maybe it’s been a while since I’ve ended the draft leaning towards Falcons. This might end up being a curse. I don’t know. or premonition. Are you? But if this is double revitalized for Falcons, we might be going to game seven. Oh, let’s see. Let’s see. That’s so exciting as well cuz uh I feel like this matchup on the mid feels like it’s all time, isn’t it? Yeah. And look at the lineup rating favoring Falcons early to mid game potential. Of course, the late game potential of TL good, but all other departments is Falcons leading and it is double or vitalize. Double vitalize a very sturdy lineup can very well. That’s Falcons for UTLPH. Will this be it? They’re still on match point, but they are looking like they could face it. Let’s go into the map. Another epic chapter being written in the Clash of Titans Odyssey. Welcome to game six. Match point for the cavalry. Yet, in case you missed it, Falcons just mounted such a dominant game in the previous bout. Leo service alongside and Brigida. I think we’ve read through all the options like all the heroes that are coming out. Even the alpha got scouted. Yeah, it got scouted. Good traps there from uh coach Treber inside of team Falcons and I do agree with what the panel has been saying. The double revitalized setup so far has been working in the playoffs, especially if you pair it up with tanky heroes like the Hyos and the Baksha. Yep. And so far, we’re seeing how aggressive both of these teams want to play the mid lane since it it’s been very vital so far in the past few games we’ve been seeing here in the series. Om gets the last hit on the crab. What? Oh my goodness. I thought Oen was just tanky. Apparently he hurts. The shield hurts. That was all just Owen. I I I feel Sanji has been poked down a little bit prior to that since they’ve been exchanging blows in the middle lane. But it’s crazy. Owen did pretty much majority of that all alone. So now we’re expecting to see how fast and efficient the rotations are going to be. This is a Farsa. This is a Baksha. There’s so much things you can expect in the early game to turn around. Yeah. And for team Falcons, you’re really hoping on or backing on the fact that Kyle TZ needs a nearperfect early game up against CPH because if it comes to a stalemate or he fails to rack up kills, CPH can control neutral objectives. But remember, TPH also very cautious about this approach. Their lineup could just as quickly falter if Kaisy pops off. First turtle already spawns. Falcons first to the scene and Sanford looking for someone to latch on to. Few yet to hit level four. Fal immediate with the unleashed the beast and catches Sanford there. They have to back off. Glorious pathway already casted down and TP slowly trying to retreat. Sanford pops in once again and latches on to FW. F has his own grab. Grab and spread spread though. Sanji with a wings by wings to relocate. Carles goes in with the ultimate onto and they taunt him once again. They might go for the first blood and they will do so successfully. and the young goat serves up the first kill. One Falcon down and the turtle dance continues. Both teams taking their time. Such is the nature of a utility jungler ccentric lineup. And if you’re looking at where Falcons could have possibly gotten a trade, even he’s doing a great job. Super Marco actually forced to hug his tower so far in the past few minutes of this game. So you know that Team Liquid Philippines have clearly established the lead. Oh, Circle Eagle dropped down to try and zone out Team Falcon. So far, one kill, one objective taked down, 1k gold lead for Team Liquid Philippines. And we’re seeing the effect of the JP Matilda again. Everyone seems to be where they needed to be at any given moment. This draft was crafted to learn from the lessons of game number five. Liquid are evolving. The Stallions are rolling with the punches and using these lessons oh so quickly and that’s why they’re in the lead now. I I’m waiting for Falcon Stern to maybe try that approach again in the turtle number two. Is that the right way to go about this? Yeah, because earlier we did see that the SOD after a while actually didn’t connect and we’re so used to seeing it connect especially if we’re talking about Super Marco but it’s been a different story for the first few minutes here in this game. So, so long as that keeps happening and of course so long as they don’t get to actually take out any member of Team Liquid Philippines whenever they engage, there’ll be endless ways for them to sustain and regroup for an engage. Yeah, but the thing is TP good at hunting down individuals for the side of team Falcons. Good cast of the circum eagle to try and zone out JP as Super Marco as OH got all the gold play. Dear God, oh making bank. And wasn’t this the exact same approach they were going for when they wanted to funnel everything into OH and just allow him to deal the damage against Team Falcons. And they’re making it work. And again, so much support provided by JP to OH. And they may as well do just that. Look at this. A lot of focus on top lane. Super Marco with the assistance of Owen helping secure that gold crab. Turtle spawning. Cali working on his purple buff. Team Falcons, they know that they can and have to contest for this neutral objective. You see the two beefy front liners of team Falcons providing enough zone and vision, but still TLPH has a good hold over the turtle. Sanford jumps in with the spread spread. Will he latch onto Flap Tele with the feathered air strike and they’re zoning and ganking up onto the middle lane. Zap force casted down by OV and Kyle TZ has her back with a JP kill. Spear of Destruction connects. He’s focusing his target onto Sagi but Sagi was able to slither away. OM got demolished there and team Falcons with a turn but TP Sanji with a double two for two. Liquid was holding an ace in the hole and they clap back and that ace in the hole. Isn’t that the feathered air strike? I’ve been looking at Sanji. For some reason my eyes were glued to Sanji. He did not release the feathered air strike the same time F decided to release his copied air feathered air strike. And we’ll be seeing that in the instant replay. It took a while for Team Liquid Philippines to feel that they could actually get an advantage in this team fight which clearly looked like Team Falcons were at at the upper hand. But look at Sanji just repositioning himself long enough to block off the members of Team Falcons who were chasing them and allow some time for the rest of his teammates to actually fight back. Okay, with the help of hindsight, we now know the reason why Sanji held it is because he was off of cool down. He was holding it, waiting, waiting, waiting. And maybe that’s why TPH had to suffer some losses. But also, I think the genius of the Santan duo together. Sanford came in, flicker forward, jumped in with the glue, and that also added a little bit of damage. Yeah, and honestly, it was a blessing in disguise, the cool down of the feathered air strike, cuz that in turn helped Sanji relocate when Super Marco entered in with the spear of destruction. So, was able to maximize the damage of the feathered air strike. Spread. Spread is a lethal thing if you let it become one. Oh, he dropping the Zmon Force. Taken down tier 2 in the bottom lane. So, this does put the map at equilibrium. Yep, it’s pretty much equal right now. Carl TZ though he will be denying any intentions from Super Marco and Kyle to get any more objectives away from them. And they’ll have to manage that wave up top first before they actually try to set things up for this upcoming turtle which likely Team Facles might go for they they just can’t freely leave Super Mario to do his thing. And this is what we see again and again and they’re setting up for it and they did the prerequisite. Send Marco away steal the feathered air strike and then you can go but wait they’re staying there but there’s a different plan. Oh, can they find them? Oh trying to look for super Marco dropped down. Zammon force as well. They’re ganking up on Marco and a shutdown kill for Ohe. They neutralized the coast to coast potential and just fought him right where he stood and fell. The bulletproof read them like a book. One member down as TH hoping to get the turtle clap teasy glorious pathway dropped down. Kyle teasy with the unleashed of beast but Sanford is there to zoom in zone him out. F was able to take down Sanji. Now O’s in the picture with his salmon force trying to soak up the damage. Owen and Flapzy quite tanky as Sanford just zoning out Kyle TZ. Oh my god. Oh, have done zero damage in the pit. And they’re still going. A lot of sustain from both of these teams. Nothing really happening. We’re past the 8minute mark. Turtle still up for grabs now. Sanford is here with the spread. Spread. Super Marco jumps in to praises Wrath. Carl Tezy secures the turtle. Owen deep behind enemy lines gets punished. Dropping the zap force. Oh, gets a kill. Owen down. Super Marco trying to distort. has to back off there. Sanju defended the air strike and the signal that the clash is done. Everyone’s just too tanky. Oh, SOD nearly connected onto JP. But going back, the fights, they just last too long earlier. If you if you would recall how it all began, Kyle Tezy, Sanford took too much of his attention. I feel you could say the same for Sanford, too, and the way he’s able to manage Team Falcons. When you leave the tanky front lines of Team Falcon’s right in front of TLPH, especially during the down times of the Zammon Force, you just know it’s not going to end up anywhere. And this puts us into perspective looking at these two lineups. They’re both relatively old dependent, right? But Liquid is just ever so slightly less ult dependent. They have a slightly higher up time, and that’s what made that turtle fight even more of a win. Yeah, we’re seeing what TP can do with this lineup. Oh, wait. Pew had to back off being chased down by JB. Carl TC. Double dash was there. He used his own energy eruption, but still Carl TZ secures the kill. And Falcons can only walk up to witness the murder that occurred behind their tier 2. What was F to do? He spent his flicker. He spent everything. Yeah, it was two dashes, a flicker, an IMU to try and delay the push that TP was doing there. But in in the end, JP and Carl Tezy was able to pin him down as OB has an orange buff. Another energy eruption dropped it down by Carl Tezy. Look at the feather in the air. Strike up. Is it going to connect though? Flap. Ty answers back to Glorious Pathway. Here comes KZY with the unleash the beast. They’re playing under the turret, but everyone’s still tanky. Sanford dropped down into the base of team Falcons and that was a trade for the Falcons. That was such a beautiful energy eruption into the feathered air strike into the Zaman force from Team Liquid Philippines. But exactly as you mentioned, Team Falcons, they are just too tanky. And that’s probably one of the biggest things they can bank on in this game out sustaining Team Liquid Philippines, especially if they’re able to do that. taking out Sanford cuz he’s such a big piece of how Team Liquid Philippines is able to hold everything together. So, between the better uptime and the chunkier lineup, it comes down to decision making. Can Liquid take out the key targets before Falcons can make up for their lack of damage? We’ll find out in the lower pit. Going to try and use the Lord as bait up against Team. Falcons is super. Marco pushing the bottom lane. Flaps already dropped down the glorious pathway by SOD is going to connect to secure the Lord. Kyle Daisy got it bursted down. No trades for Team Falcons, but Super Marco working on the inhibitor down bottom. Nothing personal, kid. Marco fails. Oh my lord. The minion was not in the right spot. Now he has to back off and be present in the defense of a lifetime for team Falcons. Lord CJing in the middle lane for TP8. Every single member of Falcons matters right now. Kyle Tezy still absent. Lord smashes into mid. Top lane taken down. Everyone crashing down. Marco still able to free hit. He has two front liners that can soak up the damage. Sag with a feathered air strike. Inh already burst it down. Oh, it falls down as well. TPA. They still have five cavalry. Flapsy trying to to back off. Ky jumps in with the unleash the beast as O. Marco. They shut down O. A double for KZY. He wants to make it three. Sanji got left behind in a three kill swing for Team Falcons. Liquid Philippines overextending, overwelcoming their stay, gets punished hard. And what did we say about finding key targets before Team Falcons gets to go or gets to show all that sustain they have, gets to fight back, gets to buy enough time for Kyle Tezy to get back. And that’s exactly what happened because what they were able to take earlier were Flap and Owen. And I don’t think those are the best targets. Now with that clash, Super Marco looking at the Trinity build and the rose gold meteor. So in terms of damage department, you know, Super Marco can do super map things once again. Top has to respect the split push that can come from Super Marco. All right, let’s take a look back at that moment inside Falcon’s base. Liquid smelt blood in the water. They could have sworn the game was going to end, but here’s the key. They took their eyes off of Marco. They let Kyle Tezy get to them. Yeah, the key is Kyle Tezy. Perfect casting of the unleash the beast, the flash combo and flash step set up perfectly. And all throughout that, they forgot the SOD from Super Marco. Yeah, they burned so much too earlier. Sanford went in for the flicker already, but was pushed back. So now they get to delay the game a bit more. and Super Marco was just able to proceed with pressuring the map as well up against team liquid Philippines. Now checking out the items currently few also already picked up the lightning trenchon. It seems like they’re trying to invest much more in the damage that can come out later on since they know and acknowledge the the way they’re lacking so far. But if you look at Super Marco is just one item away from completing his build. Yeah, eventually we’ll reach the point where economy doesn’t matter anymore. It’s all about positioning. Oh my goodness. For Falcons, that’s a long way out. Liquid though has room to juggle. They have to watch out for the very specific Oh, Sanji again. Oh, this is the exact same spot where Sanji was able to burst down the Clint of Super Marco earlier in the series. I don’t think Mar’s going to fall for it again, but no, this is JP and OB going for the gank and Marco smells something fishy. They know. They know. Okay. Wait. A lot of vision provided there for team Falcons with one shield unity from Owen. Lord started up by TPH approaching a fourth of its health. A third soft reset. Flap teasy aware of the situation. Calling the rest of Falcons in. Watch out for Marco. He has an SOD. SOD is going to be crucial. It’s going to connect. But is he going to cast it though? Flap teasy dropped down the glorious pathway already. And call TZ secures the lord. They’re trying to go for the kills. Bu with feather air strike with the first man down is slap tying. A double for the MVP. They want to make it three. Ganging up on Master Owen. Super Marco preoccupied with Sanji, but he was able to flicker out. And look at the base. A triple for him. Super Marco with a Sanji kill. And F is here to delay. But the minions, will they be able to do it? CPH in the picture. And another perfect chapter ends. In this historic rivalry, Team Liquid Philippines, a step closer to immortality, going straight to the grand finals, punching their ticket to MSC and AWC 25. Just as everyone thought that Team Falcons could have gotten it. They were performing so well. The Liquid Stampede prevails. They regroup and overnight they’re back in shape. A few stumbles along the way. A reverse sweep loss. A clear sweep loss. And here an epic match against their co- Titans of MLB and Falcons. What a time to be MLB fans. What a time to be a member of the cavalry after missing a chance at M6 World Championship. TH back to MSC. That was so beautiful. The entire series was beautiful. And this here is a moment that is painful for so many all around the world. Team Falcons PH will have the bow out of the playoffs here in season 15. They fought badly. They grew so much, but now they take their final bow. It was a hardcore battle for team Falcons. You know, their run in the playoffs. First team to eliminate a second seed as a fourth seed. They were able to pull it off but unfortunately came up short against TLPH. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re going on stage to talk to Team Falcons Philippines in that lower bracket finals. We’ve seen one hell of a matchup, but in the end, it’s the valiant effort of team Falcons that have brought them this far. gentlemen all throughout the playoffs and the whole Champions Arena knows it and we really do hope that you keep your head high as you make your exit. Few, this is not the decision that you’ve wanted in behalf of your team and everybody else supporting you. lower finals. Still, congratulations. A solid effort. Still a job well done. Everybody, please give it up for team Falcon. Gentlemen, you may now take your bow. Still a solid showing from team Falcons, but the only Titan standing, your second grand finalist and our MSC representative, it’s Team Liquid Philippines. My goodness, gentlemen. Coach RC, talk to us about this feeling. Talk to us about your preparations. That hindrance it hurts. What was your motivation? The more the more Andractice and naman hands. Now let’s talk to Carl TC. Young goat. My goodness. Carl Carl. favor coach. Ayan para say Carl important addition coach team for TLPH to get consistent wins. now MSC on a scale from 1 to 10 trophies. I like it. I think they like their odds based on that. Talk to us about this moment this time around cuz during the awarding ceremony regular season MVP after that loss yesterday you felt like you didn’t deserve it with a showing in this lower bracket finals. Do you think regular season MVP? I think more about that is this is you know another moment for you. What’s going to be another differenceionship against Onyx Philippines this time finals better and the cavalry definitely approves of that Sanji Sanji all throughout that series. What was going through your mind? Cuz again, you guys promised each other. So, how is it feeling lower bracket finals? And you know difference that you’re going to MSC again with almost the the same entire roster compared to MSE last year. connection, we will not keep you guys waiting. Go ahead and get your welldeserved rest. Champions Arena, this is your second grand finalist, Team Liquid Philippines. And with that win, you may now take your bow. Kuzi, we have finally found out grand finalist and our MSC representatives. Plot twist this playoffs. Excited for tomorrow this season. It’s the Sonics going up against the cavalry for tomorrow. But for tonight, we’re going to toss it back to our panel. And after a series that almost went all the way, we have our second Embassy 2025 representative for the Philippines. Congratulations to Team Liquid. Yeah, Team Liquid Philippines looks so strong that last game especially so neck and neck. The double revitalizer Falcons just keeping on keeping on. But the difference maker was this man, the regular season MVP, the big money man himself. 92 and two. Yeah. Showing up right when the team needed it the most, just when it looked like team Fins wanted that game seven. In comes OA. Plus, not to mention the combo, of course, the Matilda and the Freder man, keeping that mid game point. Yeah, again once we saw the composition of team look at Philippines get completed, you knew what they wanted to do which was just make sure that they can play everything for OH. Similar to how Falcons played game number five for F and for Super Marco this time around Team Liquid Philippines played simply just for OH. Sanji also alongside Sanford deserves a lot of credit for the success of Team Liquid in this game. They’re pair up with Carl Tezy. This specific play right here was the play that started it all slowly for Team Liquid because Falcons needed that. And then the two other times where Team Liquid were just able to pick off first Super Marco in the top lane and then few in the jungle of Falcons behind the second tier tower near the purple buff. This one right here shows just how familiar Team Liquid are with the positioning of Team Falcons. And they were also able to play around the Valentine. I think was so crucial. Uh when you saw a few times there was actually trying to select whether to go for the federal air strike or that energy eruption and then everything else was just TLPH going non-stop. The stampede was not slowing down in this game. This is at 12 minutes almost 12 minutes. This is the part where it didn’t slow down but it tripped up just a bit. Team Philippines were able to continue galloping though despite Falcons getting wid. Problem is Falcons lost way too much that at this point this was a hail mary. They slipped in their fundamentals and they backed in the idea of the all-in one last Hail Mary play to try and win it all but they overstepped forgetting that the Falcon standard is to take care of the minion waves first, get the kills later. That was just a little bit of slip up and when they actually thought they could have reset there, but then again the call was you make those calls in the in the minute in that moment. It really could have been gone either way. That gold lead was very n negligible. So there that really could have been anyone’s board right there. But for this one, it will be TLPH. You can even see the scores and the gold here in that last one. It’s as close as it gets after a matchup. Yeah, Team Liquid Philippines are still such a solid unit, man. Especially when they’re playing around their comfort heroes. Of course, JP’s Matilda is one of the most often banned heroes against Team Liquid Philippines. Definitely up there now that it’s paired up yet again making its storming return back through the meta. the Fredin paired up with a glue and especially now that Har is back in the meta as well compared to the height of the whole Freder uh show way back when it’s an even deadlier version of what the cavalry then orcas were familiar with for such a long time and the Fred Valent uh the Frederickin Matilda really is a big throwback and could make you wonder maybe they kind of just forgot how to fight against this specific combo And I forgot how powerful it can be. Uh the certain spikes that this duo can do. I really wasn’t very impressed. Not to mention obviously the glue is just so strong right now. In the words of Lao, it’s like how can this be how is this legal? How is this guy allowed to exist? From broken to busted, the glue story. I think that’s the autobiography if you’re ever going to write one for a hero in MLBB. That’s true. Look at the big money man himself. 877 GPM. Again, team Philippines just knew the game plan from the beginning. They knew they wanted to play around OHB and they played their strategy so damn well. Again, I’m a heartbroken Falcons guy here, but I can’t help but gush and glaze over what Team Liquid Philippines have done in this game number six. It was absolutely brilliant performance by Liquid. Welld deserved grand finals and MS slot. Yeah, and you get this by being in comfort. Coach RC was able to spot that. They he put OH on the Harb obviously very high win rate. Carl Tezy, he spent years on that Freder JP. You know what? If you guys are still blaming JP, you know, you can’t blame him this time. He was able to really baby out the the Baby Cakes duo in this specific game. Yeah. Uh Baby Cakes, Sansan, led by Daddy JP. Uh it’s brilliant. And you know what? a part of me? No, not even a part of me. Like wholeheartedly, I believe that what Ob said that Onyx Philippines are in store for a different version of Team Liquid Philippines compared to the one that they faced in the upper bracket finals. I definitely see that happening. Uh the fact that this didn’t go all seven games. Yes, there were some games where they lost in a very quick fashion. It was a very one-sided game leaning towards Falcons, but they got to bounce back from that quickly. And I’m pretty sure those are learning experiences as well for Team Liquid that tomorrow’s grand finals against Onyx Philippines might be closer than a lot of us think. Yeah, and Onyx Philippines analysts and coaches must be in full swing right now just studying that and uh getting ready for the possible TLP they will face tomorrow. Definitely feels better, right? It feels so different that I really wonder is Onyx going to be up to the challenge this time around? I’m pretty sure they’re going to be up to the challenge, man. Come on. It’s Sonic. I think we there’s a not even an age-old adage, it’s a more recent adage. Come on, it’s Onyx. Uh I’m really just hoping we get another game seven banger tomorrow. No one expected Aurora versus Sonic in last season’s grand finals to go seven. Hopefully this one does. And I really wonder do we there are are there still any more surprises up in store for us, right? Even at the very end. Let’s throw it over to the Infinix mic check next. Masterress. ML pow. They were calling out out. No, no, no. Oh, team look at always some of the most animated uh players during the inflict victory moments. And oh, by the way, uh just another thing to point out. I think that was a heartbreaking ultimate release as well by F cuz his feathered air strike just was always uh was just out of range there. He even flickered forward to try to close it in, but the fight got out of his reach out way too fast. And yeah, team liquid Philippines were able to capitalize and take that win. Congratulations as well again to the cavalry. I know there are uh two members of the cavalry. I don’t even know if America was a cavalary. I know he’s a BTR guy. So, TX Gideon, I don’t know if y’all are still watching. Trex might already be asleep. It’s a It’s a different time zone that he’s in, but congratulations to all the fans of Team Liquid. They’re welld deserved spot in the grand finals. That’s right. Everyone watching on the watch parties all over the world. I hope you got a glimpse of that and maybe it give you an idea of how you know what what the representatives are going to look like coming into MSC, which we’ll see each other very very soon. Yeah, look very fly with their new jackets. I feel like it’s a new jacket buff for Team Liquid, you know, for sure. And it’ll it’ll probably be very good if like, you know, in a temp a very cold temperature place. I’m sure the venue is despite the the temperature outside. Oh, yeah. 100%. Like uh it’s one of my my key memories I think from being in uh EWC last year. It’s like, “Oh, wow. The building is cold. Walk out. I’m burning.” There you go. Just sizzle. So I heard a lot of stories of that behind that one. So yeah, I I feel like uh it is going to be a bit of a challenge obviously still for Onic. This is not going to be like before like where you see someone facing against Onyx Philippines. It feels like it’s it’s game over. Yeah. Honestly, it’s so cool because this time around it’s it’s another chapter, an unexpected chapter to the longheld story of Kelra versus OH. Now under different organizations, they meet each other again. Uh Kelra now going into this again, of course, a world championship in his own right. Ohead many years removed since his world championship, but it seems like we’re seeing another peak of his career, regular season MVP. He’s paired up with Carl Tezy. If you told the four years ago version of us that one day we’ll see OB and Carl together in the same team against a team where Keller has a world championship, none of us would have believed it. So it feels like tomorrow’s tomorrow’s match feels like really good fanfiction. It’s going to be a crazy mix. It’s a crazy mix of like if you told this to a younger version of you like you must be nuts, right? You’re crazy. But it’s very it’s very cool that all of their stories wo into this, right? Obviously, you can see TLPH, you can see the Onyx Philippines. They have they have basically blood from almost every single NPL team just roll into one, which is very Filipino, by the way. That’s just how Filipinos are built. Uh bloodlines from so many ancestries going into one and making us who we are today. And this is the the DNA despite that though, of course, the DNA of Onyx still being very much super PAMP. uh TLPH still retaining the the kinds of strategies that they pull despite so many iterations of coaches they still play very much TL very much orca right so it’s very amazing how we are at that point uh in time where we are mixed up and we are uh it’s just a Filipino way to do things yeah and these are two storied franchises in the Philippines we were talking about on team Philippines let’s go back to what we saw earlier from Falcons NL LPH Matilda Fredera. Who would have thought that that’d be the winning combination paired up with a glue and a Har to send team wicket Philippines to the grand finals against Onyx tomorrow. I had a lot of hope for as well for the high loss cuz you know why I love my high loss uh and and enabling Alucas and Abox to get into target. But then once they do get in the target, get to their in front of their targets like the DPS actually was super reliant on just the Moscow if the Lucas runs out on the full combo yet of the unleash the beam. Yeah, we saw especially once Sanford gets the Lucas on the grab. Grab it actually just forces Kyle Tezy to scramble do what damage he can and then just back off instantly. That’s already instantly majority of your damage gone. That’s why it felt like Falcons, yeah, they were holding on. They were extending team fights, but the damage was just trumped by the raw firepower of Ohe on that Har. So, the fact that Team Liquid Philippines just played this so well and it shut down especially some key moments, the things that Falcons wanted to do. Again, there was only so much uh Falcons can do at that point. Yeah. again being being very reliant on the Moscow. This also just it gave Team Liquid a very clear target on what they needed to do in that draft. Look for Super Marco, slow him down, everything else will follow, which is exactly what we saw. As much as everyone was so micro inensive, this whole lineup of Falcons was very micro inensive. It was so difficult for them to actually get ahead once that first blood, you know, that first snowflake that happens that drops before a snowball, a big avalanche happens when they got that first kill on Super Marco on the top side. Yeah. And no way in hell Falcon saw that coming. Uh the fact that OB and JP were there together and of course later on their pick off into few as we pointed out earlier. Really, really cool. So again, we find ourselves here two of the most storied franchises in MPL Philippines history. Onyx Philippines from the old days of vis together with Dar Yaknu Greed Ziko was playing then that’s right to this version of Onyx now dubbed as the super fam against a team liquid Philippines that traces its DNA all the way back to the first ever twotime well backto back MLP champions in Sunsparks the player that was there for those two rosters and he still is here now in team Team Liquid Philippines It’s JP Daddy. They go way back. JP will yet again face off against Onyx in a grand finals in MPL Philippines. And JP is undefeated against Onyx in grand finals in MPL Philippines. That’s something you got to you got to remember about JP. You guys can say whatever you want, but you know what? He is a championship caliber player since he started way back then. back to back international and all that. So keep that keep tracking that until tomorrow. This is the playoff stage show for the infinite expans where we do see Phoenix army and the cavalry as well fighting each other in the champions tomorrow. Phoenix army and the cavalry. What a story for the fans Laban. I know there was a lot of eyes also and the bees to show up in a surprise but then now it’s uh team liquor go. Imagine if team liquid go for the double tomorrow like the cavalry win and then for somehow team liquid Philippines wins the grand finals too. That’s going to be a crazy way to end the season for the cavalry. That’d be very insane like double championships and a really big celebration most likely in their boot camp or somewhere uh where the cavalry will gather with along with their fans. That’s that’s really something that would be something. So again these are things that you have to remember like how is the research for right now? How do they see TLPH? And I really wonder if TLPH can keep this up because if you remember, TPH has been up down up down so far all playoffs long. Yeah, but TLPH are going into the grand finals with a 13 series win. It was it 13? Yeah, 13 series win streak. They ended the regular season, 10 series win streak. Their first match against Twisted Minds, their match against who did they face off against in the next round? Why am I blanking on this? Aurora. Aurora. There you go. And then in the upper bracket finals, it’s been a it’s been a wild ride here in the lower bracket finals. It’s been a pleasure giving you the games. I’m Rockart. This is Renmar. We’re signing off for the meantime and we’re throwing it over to our host. Check it out. See you in the grand finals. And there we finally have it. Our remaining two teams. It’s Team Liquid Philippines going up against Onyx Philippines. Clash of Titans Philippines Philippines. They are the strongest teams of the nation. MSSE at EWC 2025 at Riyad Saudi Arabia. There can only be one immortal. The question is, will it be backto back for the Sonics or will the cavalry say something else about it? It is now time for them to transcend being legendary and start becoming immortals. Champions Arena. Get ready for MO Philippines season 15, the grand finals. AKI and I’m’ll see you guys tomorrow. Stop us. Stop us. Hey, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. We become the monsters. Face the building for the three stars. Cut us to the top. No, no, but winning become a legend. Open fire. We unite with winners built with pressure. The diamonds are made of of us never Hold on, hold on, hold on. We are lacking every surrender. But next time, just imagine what we can achieve. Lacking every surrender, no repeat. Giving 100 all my we just cannot be defeated. We are unstoppable and invulnerable young equipment frozen crowd control of the southeast. Every enemy we devour.

We are in the final phase of MPL PH, the last 3 games. The lower bracket final will see an intensive Best of 7 to determine who will join Onic Philippines in the Grand Finals.

The match-up will see Team Liquid Philippines go up against Team Falcons, in a rematch of the Clash of Titans, it was Team Liquid who came out on top last time around.

Will the storyline stay the same, with Team Liquid sealing their slot in the finals or will Team Falcons take their sweet revenge and be the one who takes the final slot.
