IT'S INDONESIA vs. Philippines in the M5 World Championship grand finals as Onic Esports will face AP.Bren in the grand finale.
But before this matchup could happen, an all-Filipino battle between AP.Bren vs. Blacklist International took place in the lower bracket finals, and it was the former who stampeded their foes, 3-0.
The Codebreakers struggled to handle the hyper-aggressive gameplan from the Bees, causing their exile into the M5 stage. Blacklist ended up finishing 3rd overall.
How Bren deciphered the Code
AP.Bren seem like they mentally collapsed after getting swept by Onic Esports 0-3, but their Game 1 victory proved their resilience.
It was total control for the Bees as they dominated most of the lanes especially with the extreme mobility from David Charles "Flap" Canon's Paquito that perfectly synergized well with Angelo Kyle "Pheww" Arcangel's Novaria. With the latter's vision and the former's aggression, the Codebreakers were left overwhelmed.
The same outcome occurred in Game 2 as Flap's Paquito was an overwhelming force that became the combo punch alongside the aggressive nature of the Bees.
The only difference stem from their engagement approach as they relied on Rowgien "Owgwen" Unigo's Arlott to provide the combo.
With momentum favoring the Bees, AP.Bren delivered the finishing touches in the final game. While Blacklist was able to gain some momentum, Bren managed to survive most skirmishes as they calculated their movements.
A systematic Bren shattered each important piece and not even Blacklist's ultimate bonding experience could salvage them and Bren secured their dominant victory over their rivals.
