BREN eSports, Sunsparks advance in MPL-PH Season 5 Upper Bracket



BREN eSports and Sunsparks took contrasting routes heading into their upcoming matchup in the upper bracket portion of the SMART-Mobile Legends Bang Bang Professional League-Philippines Season 5 postseason on Friday.

BREN eSports escaped a scare from fourth seeds Execration, almost losing Game 1 and losing Game 2, before claiming the Game 3 decider.

Ch4knu (Grock) proved to be a major thorn for the top seeds, continuously invading BREN's jungle to provide the fourth seeds the upper hand initially.

Execration would then establish a 28,482 to 21,403 edge in gold at the nine-minute mark, as well as a 10-5 kill advantage, while also securing the lord in their favor.

However, the BREN quintet of KarlTzy (Ling), Ribo (Angela), Lastii (Atlas), Coco (Carmilla), and Pheww (Kaja) put up a huge defensive stand in the middle lane, erasing E2MAX (Selena), Z4pnu (Uranus), Hate (Lancelot), Bennyqt (Helcurt), and Ch4knu to neutralize Execration's kill advantage.

BREN would then slowly tilt the matchup in their favor, although Execration did not make that easy with Z4pnu and Ch4knu cutting the lanes. BREN would secure the matchup after Lastii performed a four-man fatal link to counter Execration's initiation.

KarlTzy finished with 24 kills, eleven assists and two deaths, while Ribo tacked on three kills and 28 assists.

Karl "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno shared afterwards, "Siguro [lamang] lang kami sa disiplina, saka sa decision making at experience na lang din po kaya kami naka-lamang sa kanila."

Hate led the way for Execration with nine kills, three assists, and eight deaths.

As for Sunsparks, they continued their mastery of ONIC PH, dispatching them 2-1 in their matchup.

The defending champions dropped the opening game, but they managed to bounce back by taking the next two games to book a seat in the upper bracket finals.

Jaypee (Ling) led the way for Sunsparks with five kills and four assists. Killuash added a couple of kills and assists.

The BREN eSports vs Sunsparks matchup will take place tomorrow at 5pm, while both Execration and ONIC PH await their lower bracket opposition. The former will face the winner of BSB and Blacklist International at 2pm, while the latter will face the winner of SGD-Omega and ULVL at 330pm.
