A new era has begun in the Mobile Legends competitive realm. And Filipino powerhouse BREN Esports is finally sitting on the throne.
Battered but somehow alive from the lower bracket, BREN Esports rose from the ashes to claim the M2 World Championship title via a 4-3 victory over Burmese Ghouls at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, Sunday evening.
After a tug of war for the lord in the 12-minute mark of Game Seven, KarlTzy (Claude) was able to pick off RubyDD (Grock) which ignited a full-blown clash for both squads.
BREN Esports, led by Ribo (Harith) and KarlTzy, completed a four-man wipe of Burmese Ghouls which resulted to a lord.
They marched onto the mid lane with the luminous lord to end the match and claim the series.
Back in Game One, BREN Esports played the long game in the opener with FlapTzy (Baxia), Pheww (Mathilda), and Lusty (Atlas) providing the space for KarlTzy’s Claude to go online.
Once the 16-year-old core’s power spike was reached, BREN Esports did not let go of their advantage to draw first blood against the Burmese.
The MSC 2018 champion flat out dominated come Game Two. KarlTzy’s Yi Sun Shin and Pheww’s signature Selena were firing their arrows right off the gates, leading BREN Esports’ 26-4 annihilation of the Burmese Ghouls for the 2-0 advantage.
The Filipinos, though, looked like they ran out of gas in the following matches. BREN Esports dropped the next three games, including a tightly contested Game Five, which buried them to a 2-3 deficit.
That, until KarlTzy went berserk in Game Six with a defensive Brody to send the series to a winner-take-all Game Seven.
The Philippines’ child prodigy prioritized the Immortality as his first core item, which resulted to a 9-1-11 line to lead BREN Esports.
BREN Esports topped Group C with a 2-0 standing to make their way up the upper bracket. However, the MPL-Philippines champion was sent down to the losers’ bracket by the Burmese Ghouls through a sweep.
Facing elimination, the team composed of Southeast Asian Games gold medalists did the unthinkable — dispatching champions after champions in the lower bracket to crawl its way to the grand finals.
BREN Esports first booted out MPL-MY/SG titlist Todak before eliminating arch-rival and ONE Esports MPL Invitational kings Alter Ego in the semis. The men in black and yellow continued their surge to the top, taking down MPL-Indonesia champion RRQ Hoshi before slaying MPL-Myanmar winner Burmese Ghouls for the Philippines’ first-ever world title.
