The Hedgehogs exacted their revenge on the Orcas who put the only dent to their record so far in the tournament in their first meeting in the regular season.

Star gold laner Duane “Kelra” Pillas starred for Onic in the stunning 2-0 sweep to help his team extend their win streak to six and improve to a 7-1 record in the standings.

A crucial Diversion play from Frince “Super Frince” Ramirez’s Lou Yi that sent Kelra’s Claude pick to the midlane forced ECHO to backpedal from the 22-minute Lord fight to which Onic took advantage of and hunted down every Orcas for a four-man wipe.

Kelra finished with a 3-1-6 KDA while Super Frince added a perfect 5-0-8 line in the Game 1 win that ended 15-9 in their favor.

Showing no letup in the second game was Onic as it made quick work of ECHO, taking a 9-6 win in just over 13 minutes of play.

Kelra dazzled anew, this time on the gold lane Roger pick to finish a 4-1-4 KDA – none bigger than his double kill in the last Lord fight that sealed the deal for Onic.

Over at the other games, AP.Bren bounced back big and swept Blacklist International with a 2-0 win to keep in step with Onic in the standings.

Like Onic, AP.Bren sports a similar 7-1 record with its only loss coming from the hands of the Hedgehogs who defeated the Bees last Saturday.

Also keeping the streak going was Minana EVOS as, after the stunning 2-0 win, steamrolled the hapless TNC with a 2-0 domination.

The Tigers have now listed their third straight victory to improve to an even 4-4 record with 13 points to show.
