Omega leveled through a low-scoring Game 2, as the “comeback kings” fixated itself on pushing down lanes to take the opponent’s base, highlighted by a wild goose chase on Grant Duane &quot;Kelra&quot; Pillas, which eventually turned towards Omega’s favor thanks to Joshua &quot;Ch4knu&quot; Mangilog&#x27;s heroics. Omega drew 2 kills, compared to RSG’s 0 - the lowest scoreline in the league&#x27;s history - with Ch4knu earning the MVP honors behind a 1/0/1 KDA record.RSG dominated the battle of macro-plays in Game 4 to reach match point, with Eman &quot;EMANN&quot; Sangco providing the finishers in team fights. EMANN earned the MVP honors in Game 4 behind a 6/1/5 KDA. Zoning defined Game 5 in favor of RSG, with a siege around the 20th minute allowing them to pull ahead. Nathzz emerged as the Finals MVP as his clutch zoning capabilities stopped Omega&#x27;s chances of pulling their signature comebacks. This is also Brian &quot;Panda&quot; Lim&#x27;s second title as professional head coach, after steering ArkAngel to the championship in Season 3. RSG Philippines topped the regular season standings with 31 points and an 11-3 win-loss record, highlighted by a 7-game winning streak midway through Season 9. The Kingslayers did not drop a single match in their playoff campaign, until the grand finals. As finalists, both Omega and RSG will represent the Philippines in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup to be held in June in Malaysia.

RSG Philippines are the new Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League champions after shutting down Omega Esports, 4-1, in Season 9's grand finals held on Sunday.
