Smart Communications (Smart) has lauded the sensational run of Philippine Esports team Execration, which, in a span of just one week, bounced back from a big loss at the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines Season 7 championship to rule as the champions of the recent Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup 2021 (MSC).
It was in every way an inspiring journey of perseverance and determination for the team, which showcased topnotch strategy and stamina that they have developed over the years of aspiring to dominate in the region. Ultimately, their tough run gripped Filipino gaming fans and proved once more that amazing things can happen when you put your #PUSO into your passion and purpose.
Comeback Legends
Team Execration managed to do a “Cinderella-run” after falling off from the upper bracket grand finals and made a legendary comeback in the grand finals spot facing the undefeated Blacklist International.
It was the second time two Filipino teams faced off in the grand finals of the said tournament, which gathered some of the best squads in the region, including teams from Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
“We congratulate Execration for their sensational performance at this year’s MSC, proving yet again that we Filipinos have what it takes to dominate esports in the world stage," said Jane J. Basas, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Wireless Business at Smart.
"We also take pride in the fact that both of our Filipino teams made it to the grand finals. More than setting the bar high for esports success, they have surely inspired more gamers and fans to go all out on their passions with a deeper purpose. With passionate and dedicated esports teams and athletes, there's no doubt that the future is bright for Philippine esports,” Basas added
