Workforce Liquid foiled a late backdoor try from TNC in Recreation 2 to finish a 2-0 sweep and safe its breakthrough win in MPL Philippines Season 16 on Sunday on the Inexperienced Solar Resort.
The 2 squads engaged in a tense lord dance on the twenty first minute of Recreation 2 with TNC’s jungler Justine “Zaida” Palma (Lancelot) outdueling Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno’s Yi Solar-shin to safe the target.
TNC then tried to show the momentum right into a daring backdoor try as midlaner Lance “LanceCy” Cunanan (Luo Yi) pulled off a diversion play that teleported gold laner Benedict “Bennyqt” Gonzales close to Workforce Liquid’s base.
Bennyqt got here near finishing the backdoor, however Alston “Sanji” Pabico rapidly got here again to base and unleashed a Feathered Air Strike to take him down, even after Bennyqt’s last-minute immortality buy.
Workforce Liquid then took down the lord within the center lane with all TNC gamers down earlier than marching onto TNC’s base and finishing the comeback.
The win allowed the Cavalry to enhance to 1-1 after struggling a heartbreaking opener loss to Onic Philippines yesterday.
Former Workforce Liquid’s gold laner Bennyqt’s backdoor try was a well-known sight for the Cavalry, as he had pulled off the very same maneuver throughout their title run at the M4 World Championship.
“Really kaming apat po hindi namin nakita, si Sanji po talaga ‘yung nakapansin kaya siya rin ‘yung nag-call na tumi-tp (teleport) si Benny,” exp laner Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya shared.
