Coach Ynot got his wish granted in his team's post match media interview in Week 1, to beat Team Liquid PH in full strength earlier in their Week 5 Round 2 match-up in MPL Philippines S16
Like in their previous encounter, MPL PH was a sold-out treat that the league had to add around 200 more seats to accommodate both TLPH and Sonics fans
The cavalry got the first quick win with Wanwan finally got it's season debut. The Sonics regrouped as they got Kirk in this series to tie this one up. Game 3 was a complete dominance by Onic PH that K1ngkong, Kelra and Super Frince were miles ahead in level number against their counterparts and they only need one job to finish the job.
It was also a coincidence that in their match-up that Moonton released the new Joy and Beatrix M6-related skins for the champs - which we never saw it either picked or in banned sections. I asked Coach Ynot if he thinked that TLPH might play as a spoiler and ban those heroes and his response that they are actually anticipated that TLPH wants them to pick those heroes up. He added that to him, those heroes were not fit in this new meta which is the ongoing and biggest Project Next by MLBB.
When I asked Oheb in the same segment if he was surprised that Wanwan was free to pick, he said not as they already saw it in Onic PH when they had a previous match vs. Onic ID
Like what happened in the royal rivalry and exactly what happened a week ago, the two other matches also finished in 2-1 score
AP Bren win all of their two games both in later surges over Smart Omega to tie them up in 3-5 record while Team Falcons PH finally snapped their 7-match losing skid versus Twisted Minds to finally get their only 2nd match win this season.
Two more matches will be happening later starting at 5 pm to close out Week 5 of MPL Philippines Season 16
