    DPC SEA Division I newcomers Talon Esports and RSG continue to make their mark after tussling with powerhouse teams Boom Esports and Fnatic in Week 2 of the DPC SEA Tour III.

    Talon Esports proved themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the DPC beating Nigma Galaxy SEA 2-1 and Boom Esports, 2-1.

    Talon took the opener against Boom Esports with a 44-minute domination. Nuengnara "23savage" Teeramahanon earned an 11/3/10 KDA on his Ursa while midlaner Rafli Fathur "Mikoto" Rahman had 8/3/12 on his Lina.

    Game 2 saw Boom Esports equalize with a heavy tower pushing lineup of Razor carry and Death Prophet Offlane, while Erin Jasper "Yopaj" Ferrer countered Talon’s cheese Nature’s Prophet split push on his Kunkka. Yopaj had 11/3/15 while Souliya "Jacky" Khoomphetsavon was unstoppable on the Razor with 15/2/16.

    In the decider, it was Talon’s offlane Damien "kpii" Chok who helped mount the comeback against Boom Esports with his Mars. His huge double Mars arena in the 37th minute swung the momentum to Talon’s side as they managed to take a lane of Barracks from there.

    But despite the huge Talon lead, Boom held on, mounting great high defenses thanks to Jacky’s Monkey King’s Wukong’s command and Yopaj cleaning out the backline on his Ember Spirit.

    It was a team fight on mid in the 60th-minute mark that sealed the game for Boom. They managed to catch Talon off-guard, with Yopaj instantly taking out the Hoodwink support. Unfortunately, the rest of the team was caught in a Mars Arena as they tried to focus down 23savage’s Slark.

    In the end, Talon’s sustain outlasted Boom’s burst as they turned the fight around, killing off the Monkey King without buyback and opening up Boom’s Ancient.

    Surprisingly it was support Worawit "Q" Mekchai who led his team in kills, nabbing 14/9/14 on his Enchantress. Meanwhile, 23Savage had 13/2/23 on the Slark, while Kpii had 4 kills and 23 assists on the Mars.

      Somehow that win lit a fire in Fnatic as they stomped on RSG in Game 2 with a 32-minute win and a 36 to 18 kill score. Momentum would be in the Tour II champs' favor as they continued to manhandle RSG in game 3 with a 30-minute win and a 29 to 4 kill score.

      Captain Jabz had 9/0/11 on his offlane Visage while midlaner Armel had 8/0/13 on his signature Puck.
