Boom Esports continued to dominate in the SEA DPC Winter Tour Division 1 following another 2-0 sweep, this time against TNC Predator on Saturday, Jan. 8
The Indonesia-based team which featured a number of Filipino stars remained perfect with a 5-0 win-loss standing and 10-0 in games to strengthen its hold of the top spot.
Erin Jasper “Yopaj” Ferrer starred in the sweep as he powered Boom’s Game 1 comeback with an 18-7-11 on his Ember Spirit before scoring another solid 15-6-21 showing in Game 2 on the same hero.
TNC didn’t look like a team that remained winless heading into the match as it pushed the league leaders to its limits in the opening game. Boom trailed for most part of Game 1 and was even down by as much as 13.2K net worth before it managed to turn things around after a huge clash at the 42-min mark of the game.
A long clash near TNC’s bottom lane allowed Boom to score a four-man wipe against a lone casualty to pull off a 32-32 come-from-behind Game 1 win.
Boom never let go of the momentum as it went on to control the pace in the second game en route to a 38-31 win and send TNC reeling to its fifth straight loss.
TNC is now 0-5 in the standing and already out of contention of any Major seeding. The all-Filipino crew however is still battling to avoid the bottom two spots and retain its Division I status
Meanwhile in the Division II action, Talon gets back on the winning track at the expense of InterActive Philippines, 2-0. With the loss to Ragdoll last Wednesday dimming their chance of getting the Division I promotion, Kim “Gabbi” Villafuerte was quick to take over for Talon to start their last gasp push.
Gabbi powered the sweep with a 22-1-13 performance on the Phantom Assassin in Talon’s 47-9 Game 1 win before unloading another near-perfect 23-1-10 showing on the Morphling in his squad’s 55-14 triumph.
