Locked in their relentless pursuit of victory, both teams fought fiercely. However, it was Aurora Gaming’s bold plays that ultimately tipped the scales.
No retribution spell? No problem! Edward Jay “Edward” Dapadap and Kenneth “Yue” Tadeo stepped up to pull off shocking lord objective steals from the hands of TNC Pro Team.
Edward not only electrified the MPL stage with his debut Esmeralda pick for the season but also executed an off-camera lord objective steal at the 11-minute mark in game three.
What was going through Edward's mind during the Lord contention — was it a calculated risk he took or simply a gamble that happened to pay off?
“Ako na lang kasi yung natitira sa lord pit nun tapos full health pa ako. Tapos parang tingin ko naman hindi nila ako mapapatay, triny ko lang. Ang bilis kasi nila magbawas ng lord kumbaga sinabay ko lang din. Actually, di ko na nakita buhay ng lord nun,” Edward explained.
Edward’s fearless teamfight dives earned him an MVP citation with a 2-1-5 KDA.
Playoffs ready na ba ang Aurora?
Aurora Gaming has now reclaimed the top spot in the standings, edging out Team Liquid PH by a single point, 11 to 10. But the mission remains incomplete for Aurora as they set their sights on securing an upper bracket slot next week.
“Usually talaga week 8 yung pinakaimportanteng week, then yung kalaban pa namin is dalawang top team. Dito na talaga mate-test kung ready na ba talaga kami sa playoff. Tsaka kung ano pa yung kailangan naming i-adjust, baguhin, before mag playoffs,” coach Aniel “Master the Basics” said.
The latest patch update has just hit the Land of Dawn, shaking up the battlefield as teams gear up for a thrilling final week of the regular season and an even more explosive playoffs.
“Tingin ko di pa kami totally adjusted plus next week I think papasok pa si Kimmy and Gloo. Yun yung possible na makita nating bago. Yung nakita natin this week, initial pa lang tingin ko ng mga nasa trial stage na triny sa Week 7. Tingin ko marami pa tayong makikita. Ang ganda nung mga adjustments,” MTB added.
