Bren Esports advanced to the second round of the MPL Invitational 2022 after eliminating Marky “Markyyy” Capacio and his Bigetron Alpha, 2-1, on Thursday, Nov. 3.
The MPL Philippines Season 10 fourth placers overcame the tough stand put up by the Indonesian crew as the rising duo of Michael “Kyletzy” Sayson and Rowgien “Owgwen” Unigo dazzled in the series clincher with signature picks Ling and Mathilda, respectively.
Bren dominated on all fronts as Kyletzy finished with an impeccable 6-0-8 line on the Ling while Owgwen set up the plays with a perfect 1-0-12 line on the Mathilda in the rousing 15-4 win in Game 3.
It was a huge bounce back win after the Filipino squad failed to close out the game in the second match despite a confident-boosting victory in the opener.
In Game 1, it was Super Marco who ran wild on his Beatrix pick with a 7-0-5 KDA, taking full advantage of the perfect spacing created by Owgwen on the Lolita and the pressure from Kyletzy’s Akai pick to quickly reach his power spike.
Owgwen put up a stellar opening game of 0-0-12 line while Kyletzy provided support with a 1-0-9 tally on the jungle tank.
In Game 2, the Indonesian squad leaned on its Filipino import in Markyyy who carried the fight for Bigetron to score the 13-5 equalizer and forced the winner-take-all Game 3.
Markyyy’s Lesley pick assassinated Bren players to finish with a 4-0-8 line, all thanks to the protection provided by Kyy on the Diggie.
