MPL Season 11 best rookie Kenneth &quot;Yue&quot; Tadeo erupted with 10 kills as he led Blacklist to the Game 1 win. The San-san duo of Alston &quot;Sanji&quot; Pabico and Sanford &quot;SanFord&quot; Vinuya led the charge in Game 2 as they evened out the series. Behind his Nolan pick, Stephen &quot;Sensui&quot; Castillo helped Blacklist buck a slow start. The Codebreakers in the 20th minute failed to secure the lord over Karl &quot;KarlTzy&quot; Nepomuceno -- but Blacklist prevailed during the game-clinching team fight to reach match point. Blacklist&#x27;s drought against ECHO started at the M4 World Championships in Jakarta, where Blacklist sank 0-4 in the grand finals. Blacklist then went blank against the reigning world champs in the regular seasons of MPL Season 11 and MPL Season 12. ECHO squandered a 4,100 gold lead as Blacklist decimated them in a team fight in the 20th minute mark. Kiel &quot;Oheb&quot; Soriano led all players after nabbing the series MVP nod.&quot;Sobrang sigaw kami nang sigaw kanina. Nakaka-overwhelm na natalo namin ang ECHO, one step closer na sa M-series,&quot; Oheb said in a press conference. The reigning MPL champions lamented the team&#x27;s lack of sync throughout the series, especially in the last frame. ECHO absorbed its fourth straight loss since week 5 of the series.&quot;May times na nag-hesitate kaming mag-desisyon, nag-aambahan kung sino maghahabol sa Valentina. Siguro hindi kami naging in-sync noong time na &#x27;yon,&quot; Benedict &quot;BennyQT&quot; Gonzales said. Another win for Blacklist on Friday means they will secure their third-straight world championship appearance. They await their victor.
