THE grand finals of the first PBA Esports Bakbakan saw a rematch of the recently concluded PBA Governors' Cup Finals as Barangay Ginebra and TNT Tropang Giga went head-to-head.
And just like their basketball counterpart, it was the Tropang Texters who prevailed, sweeping Ginebra 3-0.
The finals saw TNT deliver a tactical masterclass in front of the Setsuna “Akosi Dogie” Ignacio-led Ginebra.
In Game 1, TNT and Ginebra fought gallantly but it was the former who had the edge with their setups. A simple Khufra bait from Regi sealed the deal for the Tropang Texters.
Game 2 saw a slow paced beginning, only for things to reach a spicy climax with Sindel having the game of his life with his Beatrix.
WATCH:
Given that he was the main damage output, TNT protected him at all cost. The Gin Kings tried to burst him down but to no avail as TNT secured a commanding 2-0 advantage.
TNT tried to find the winning key in Game 3, but Ginebra showed a heavy resistance led by Akosi Dogie.
But TNT had their countermeasures prepared. With Sindel snowballing well, the Tropang Texters found the winning formula.
A single setup from Regi with his Kaja was key for TNT to mount a comeback leading to the 3-0 sweep.
