Today is an exciting day for Filipino League of Legends fans! Today we’ll lay witness to the best of the best competing for a seat to the Worlds 2018 later this year. But before we do that, let’s take a look at the many events that took place yesterday at the Mall of Asia Arena for the first day of the Globe Conquerors Manila Semi-Finals.
Ascension Gaming (ASC) and Kuala Lumpur Hunters (KLH) kick things off with a riveting semi-finals match. All hopes seems lost for KLH as ASC lead in the first two games showing the Thai team dominance. But everyone was surprised as KLH’s sudden counter attack in game 3 and capitalize on the sudden shift in pacing of the game.
More action occurred as the game almost peaked at about 30 minute now and KLH is finally back on their feet slowly gaining advantage! Arrhedge’s Aatrox proved to be a huge asset for KLH for this round and snatched a much deserved victory. Sadly, though, ASC proved to be too much of a competition as the Thai team nabbed the win at Game 4. It was not a sweep victory like everyone have thought but this just proved how unpredictable each games could be.
Whew! And if you think that was action-packed already, there were more fights to be had yesterday with a good long game by team Resurgence (RSG) and team MEGA (MG) playing a rather lengthy session. For long-drawn battles like these, the victor is usually determined by those that play the objective, and team RSG did not disappoint. With 4 dragon takedowns that eventually gave them enough boost to control the map, the Singaporean team eventually nabbed the first win. It was a good start for RSG but it seems that the odds would not stay on their favor for long as team MG gained the momentum of game 2 all the way to game 4. This now leads to an exciting final match with Team Ascension vs Team Mega for the main event today! Who gets to go to Korea for the Worlds? We’ll know soon enough!
But of course the final match is not the only thing to look forward to today! Here are some:
