Onic Philippines topped the “Group of Death” with an emphatic win over Vivo Keyd to punch the upper bracket ticket in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang: M3 World Championship at the Suntec Convention Centre in Singapore on Tuesday, Dec 7.
The Filipino bets dominated the Brazilians as their patented split push neutralized the late-game lineup of Vivo Keyd to end the game with a lopsided 10-1 score in just 12 minutes to top the tournament’s so-called “Group of Death.”
Gerald “Dlarskie” Trinchera set the tone for the one-sided affair as he had his way on his Uranus by putting the lane pressure with aggressive wave cutting. Dlarskie was almost unkillable as he sulked all of the damage and wasted the ultimates of the heroes of Vivo Keyd to finish with a 1-1-6 score line.
Allen "Baloyskie" Baloy also shone with a perfect kill participation on his Rafaela with a 1-0-9 KDA while Markyyy topscored with a 4-0-2 line.
The Filipinos showed a textbook split-push game play as they focused on mauling down the enemy towers. Onic gained the early map control as Dlar and Marky “Markyyy” Capacio on the Popol and Kupa asserted the sidelane pressure on the Keyd Stars.
The Brazilian’s looked in disarray as they had a hard time finding answers to Onic’s split push.
Vivo Keyd tried to engage Onic to a team fight but its heroes were easily punished by the damage from Markyyy and Jaylord “Hatred” Gonzales’ Pharsa. That was evident in a clash in the top lane where the Filipinos scored a three-man wipe after Keyd tried to force a clash to defend its tower.
Onic then secured a free Luminous Lord to close out the game and officially punch the upper bracket.
Onic PH now joined Blacklist International as it awaits its respective upper bracket opponents.
