The Beehive ran wild and dominated the Codebreakers all throughout the contest, limiting the M3 world champions to just three kills in the two-game sweep that hiked their record to 31 points on an 11-2 record with still one game left in their regular season schedule.

Not even Blacklist’s patented UBE strat anchored on Jonmar “OhmyV33nus” Villaluna’s Estes could do anything against the rousing Bren which was spearheaded by the duo of Kyle “Kyletzy” Sayson and Marco “Super Marco” Requitano.

Bren first dissected and broke the Blacklist’s code in the series opener with a convincing 20-3 win with Kyletzy, on the signature Fanny pick, peeling Blacklist heroes one-by-one even with the sustain from Estes.

Kyletzy finished with an 8-0-7 KDA while Super Marco added a 9-0-4 line on Brody. Rowgien “Owgwen” Unigo also provided the setups with his Lolita to finish with a perfect 0-0-11 line.

If that was not enough, Bren showed no mercy in Game 2 and blanked Blacklist to complete the sweep. It was Super Marco, this time, who led the 17-0 love set with a 9-0-3 line on the Wanwan while Kyletzy displayed flexibility this time utilizing a tank jungler in Baxia to finish with a 3-0-11 line. Angelo “Pheww” Arcangel orchestrated the perfect game with a 0-0-13 line on the Faramis.
