Tournament powerhouse Team Liquid PH scored a dominant 3-1 win over rivals ONIC ID in their best-of-five lower bracket clash at the M7 Championships this Thursday at the Tennis Indoor Senayan in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Game 4 saw the Filipinos lean heavily on objective control, with Sanford’s Terizla tearing through ONIC as he expertly orchestrated team fights.
ONIC attempted a diversionary play to regain momentum, but the strategy backfired, opening the door for KarlTzy’s Fredrinn to secure a crucial double kill in the mid lane at the 16-minute mark.
The series began with the Filipino squad asserting dominance early, racing to a 2-0 lead through disciplined macro play and clean executions.
ONIC, led by Kairi, briefly swung the momentum back in their favor with a standout performance in Game 3, but it ultimately proved to be a temporary setback as the Filipinos closed out the series in commanding fashion in Game 4.
The Cavalry is set to face Turkey’s Aurora Gaming next in a lower bracket quarterfinals series on Friday.
