Hiding behind the shadows of RSG Philippines star Jonard “Demonkite” Caranto all throughout the MPL Philippines Season 10, rookie jungler John “1rrad” Tuazon continued to embrace the spotlight, this time leading his team to a 2-0 romp of Malaysian champion Team HAQ in the MPL Invitational 2022 on Saturday, Nov. 5.
1rrad turned heads anew with near-perfect showing on current meta picks Martis in Game 1 and Leomord in Game 2 to complete the dominant sweep that allowed the MSC kings to arrange a semis match against Geek Fam ID.
The RSG rookie set the tone in the rout with an impressive 13-0-4 KDA on the Martis in the 20-9 rout of the Malaysian team. 1rrad was untouchable especially during the team fights for the objectives dominating the retribution battle against his counterpart after securing three turtles and two Lords.
A pick-off on Exort’s Julian triggered the huge team fight in the midlane to which RSG PH prevailed behind the triple kill from Nathzz’s Esmeralda, allowing 1rrad, the other RSG player left alive after the clash, to secure the Lord which put on the finishing touches in the Game 1 triumph.
1rrad continued to roll in Game 2 as he put up another solid showing of 10-1-4 KDA on the Leomord, sustaining RSG’s Game 1 onslaught with 16-5 victory.
A huge setup from Dylan “Light” Catipon’s Grock using his Wild Charge ultimate that hit two heroes from the side of Team HAQ initiated the midlane clash that saw RSG completing a four-man wipe to secure the Lord.
