Eman “Emann” Sangco showed the way as RSG Slate Philippines went off to a strong start in the MPL Philippines Season 11 with a 2-0 sweep of Onic Philippines at the Shooting Gallery Studio on Sunday, Feb. 19.
The reigning MVP of the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup displayed his prowess in the dominant two-game sweep that also marked a winning start to John Paul “H2wo” Salonga with his new team.
Emann ran wild in the opening game of the series as he outplayed his counterpart to get an early advantage both in gold and in items. As soon as he got his hands on his core items, he joined the team fights and spearheaded RSG’s march to the enemy base using his signature Beatrix pick.
He finished with a 7-2-2 line while getting ample support from Dexter “Exort” Martinez, who made the lead from RSG’s bench to the main five following the decision of former Arvie “Aqua” Calderon to rest.
Exord contributed 2-0-8 line on the Kadita while H2wo was steady in his first game with 1-3-8 line on the Fredrinn jungle pick in the convincing 13-8 Game 1 win
Emann continued to wreak havoc in Game 2 as he simply had his way on the Melissa pick, even scoring a Maniac to cap the night and finish with a 10-2-8 line.
Onic PH simply had no answer to the star gold laner as aside from not having a real backline threat that could dive Emann’s Melissa, Dylan “Light” Catipon on the Tank Chou and H2wo still on the Fredrinn providing a solid frontline protection.
RSG closed out the series with a 19-14 tally as Emann came one kill shy of completing the Savage in RSG’s final Lord siege.
