BOOM ESPORTS reigns supreme after pulling off a 4-3 Grand Finals victory over Blacklist International in the inaugural Philippines Kings League Spring 2025 on Sunday at One Ayala Makati.

The Codebreakers dominated the regular season with an impressive 14-0 series record and maintained their undefeated status through the playoffs, proving their status as one of the league's finest.

In Game 2, Blacklist swiftly retaliated and stormed past BOOM Esports with a lopsided 10-2 kill score to tie the grand finale series at 1-1.
