NRX is king of Call of Duty Mobile in Southeast Asia


There is no doubt that NRX Jeremiah 29:11 is the best Call of Duty Mobile (CODM) team in Southeast Asia.

The Filipino squad secured its spot in the first-ever CODM World Championship 2020 after taking down Daivo.FreeSlot of Thailand, 3-2, in the nerve-racking grand finals of the Garena Qualifiers on Sunday.

NRX got the job done after coming through with a dominant performance in the series-ending Search & Destroy Map as the PH team bested five other squads in the online qualifying tournament.

The Philippine representives will battle it out against the best teams across the world in the $750,000 (over P36 million) world championship slated in Los Angeles, USA in December.

NRX once again displayed its never-say-die spirit as it overhauled a 6-87 deficit in the first Hardpoint at the Firing Range.

A crucial retake of the hardpoint inside the White Warehouse sparked NRX's comeback for a 150-113 victory.

It was a total team effort from the PH side, with Kennedy "iDra" Mondoy shining the brightest with his 19 kills and eight assists against 15 deaths.

NRX bounced back from a 4-6 loss in the first Search & Destroy at the Meltdown as it seized a 75-47 lead in the first half of Domination at the Standoff.

John Kenneth "KenDy" Pimentel and iDra summoned their VTOL that enabled the PH team to take a full lockdown before holding its ground in the closing moments for a 150-108 win.

IDra was a man on a mission in the second map as he hit a tournament-high 32 kills on top of five assists against 16 deaths.

NRX squandered another championship point following a 120-150 defeat in the second Hardpoint at the Summit.

But captain JC "Jayzee" Rivera and the crew made sure to regain their composure in the winner-take-all Search & Destroy at the Firing Range.

Jerrold "Woopiiee" Regay showed why he is arguably the deadliest sniper in Southeast Asia as he deleted Daivo one-by-one with his DL Q33 to power NRX to a clean 6-0 sweep of its Thai counterpart.

Benj "CRUSH" Trinidad provided ample support with his seven kills and three assists against three deaths.

NRX also completed its revenge against ESL MSP Championship rival Divinity.Uprising of Singapore with a 3-0 sweep in the semifinals earlier.
