The title is the third overall for the Philippines, after Aether Main (2017) and Execration (2021, roster now with Omega Esports). It took three come-from-behind games for the Kingslayers to finally slay the &quot;Kings of Kings.&quot; After a devastating 1-3 loss against RRQ that compelled them to send MSC 2021 champs Omega Esports out of their title defense bid, the young team regained top form to secure the title against a veteran-laden squad.RRQ Hoshi led from the get-go of Game 1, racking up as much as an 8,000 gold lead for themselves in Game 1. In the 18th minute, the Indonesians managed to storm down the Filipinos&#x27; base, but RSG Philippines handily defended their base with no turrets left. From there, it was RSG Philippines controlling the tempo, banking on a near-wipeout in the 25th minute and a wipeout on the 28th minute to complete the epic comeback. A pick-off in the 17th minute gave RSG the upper key in Game 2, thanks to Nathanael &quot;Nathzzz&quot; Estrologo&#x27;s backline plays, and Dylan &quot;Light&quot; Catipon&#x27;s crucial Pneumenon Blasts with his Lolita, for yet another comeback win. A 20th-minute &quot;Real World Manipulation&quot; by Arvee &quot;Aqua&quot; Calderon became the key to tilt Game 3 in their favor. A team fight in the 29th minute that resulted in a 3-0 exchange allowed the Filipino champs to draw match point. The Kingslayers then snowballed in Game 4 to secure the sweep and the championship title. EMAN &quot;Emann&quot; Sangco was the most valuable player for the tourney. This is the third consecutive international tilt that a gold laner won the feat, after Grant Duane &quot;Kelra&quot; Pillas (MSC 2021) and Kiel &quot;Oheb&quot; Soriano. Moonton Games also announced that the M4 World Championship, where the Philippines will also be defending its title from January 1-15.
