But Kiel Calvin &quot;OHEB&quot; Soriano&#x27;s Alice went on a frenzy with a Monster Kill in the 25th minute to cap the long fight, eventually taking the MVP award by staying unblemished, and a 6-3 kill-assist record. A Luminous Lord gave the defending champs enough breathing space to cap Game 2 within 20 minutes, with Danerie James &quot;Wise&quot; Del Rosario&#x27;s Bruno taking the MVP. The win gave Blacklist their 8th win in a row, their longest after last season&#x27;s 7-0 streak. With the immaculate run, Blacklist took hold of the top seed in the league with 20 points. Meanwhile, RSG PH have now won 3 of their last 4 games in the MPL after sweeping TNC, who reeled to their 4th straight loss.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/09/17/21/mobile-legends-blacklist-echo-ph-sweep-rsg-tnc-in-mpl">Mobile Legends: Blacklist, Echo sweep foes in MPL Season 8</a></li></ul>Glimpses of coach Brian &quot;Panda&quot; Lim&#x27;s micro-scale and macro-scale tactics showed in Game 1, as the squad gradually took objectives and eventually edged their foes. Jonard Cedrix &quot;Demonkite&quot; Caranto&#x27;s Paquito and Joshwell Christian &quot;Iy4knu&quot; Manaog&#x27;s fully farmed Alice went ham against the struggling TNC squad, combining for 9 kills to propel RSG through a dominant Game 2. Meanwhile, defending world champs Bren Esports continued to struggle in MPL after another sweep by second-seeded Onic PH. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/01/24/21/bren-esports-defeats-burmese-ghouls-cops-ml-world-title">Philippines&#x27; Bren Esports defeats Burmese Ghouls, cops ML world title</a></li></ul>Bren was level with Onic in Game 1, but a maniac by Allan &quot;Baloyskie&quot; Baloy&#x27;s Natan helped them breeze through the set. Baloyskie, the team&#x27;s captain, earned MVP with a 8-1-3 kill-death-assist rate. Bren showed glimpses of life in Game 2, leading in kills in the mid-game and even taking the Lord, but Onic was caught up after a series of show-stopping plays, capped off by kills courtesy of Baloyskie, Karl Mico &quot;Micophobia&quot; Tarala and Gerald &quot;Dlarskie&quot; Trinchera, to secure the sweep. Bren remained bottom of the league rankings with 5 points, while Onic firmed up second place with 16 points.
