SINGAPORE—North American squad BloodThirstyKings shook the tournament with a statement win over Blacklist International at the M3 world championships, dropping the Filipinos to the lower bracket of a competition they were favored to win in. They also had odds stacked against them heading into the tournament without a coaching staff. &quot;We simply played better than them. We were more prepared for them. We haven&#x27;t been easy on ourselves at all ever since coming into this tournament. I don&#x27;t think they took us as seriously as they should,&quot; MobaZane told reporters here.To start the tournament, Blacklist focused their bans on MobaZane&#x27;s picks, banning out his Natan, Roger, and Yi Sun Shin, eventually able to see that Shark&#x27;s Lolita was a threat and include it as a priority ban.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">FINAL: Blacklist International 🇵🇭 sink to the lower bracket after an upset by BTK 🇺🇸, 2-3.

Blacklist face an uphill climb, as they face either Malaysian champs Team SMG or Indonesian champs Onic Esports on Tuesday, December 14.
