MANILA -- It was the Execration show as they bounce back after their first week loss as they extinguish Blu Fire in the second week of MPL-PH Season 6.
Blu Fire showed a triple tank combo of Esmeralda, Hilda, and Gatotkaca with Yi Sun-Shin and Natalya, whole Execration drafted a crowd control-heavy lineup with Claude and Pharsa on their helm.
Execration started strong with more control on the map with Ch4knu's Hylos setting up plays for S4gitnu's Thamuz and Hate's Claude.
Blu Fire tried to scare EXE out of the sanctuary lord's lair but they fell on the wrong end as all but LIMZ's Esmeralda were killed in the mid lane skirmish in the tenth minute.
With only LIMZ left to defend, the Execration quintet pushed for a wipe out which seals the first game in their favor, 14 kills to five, and Ch4knu getting the MVP nod with two kills and 10 assists.
Blu Fire aimed for a comeback with yet another durable lineup of Hilda, Esmeralda, and Uranus backed by Nana as a support, while Execration opt for a attacking five of Ling, Selena, Baxia, Kagura, and X.Borg.
The boys of Blu Fire started the game on a high note getting early kills courtesy of Chuuu's Lanceloth getting three of four.
Execration did not back down as the five countered a gank near the mid lane and almost wiping out the entire Blu Fire roster at the turtle lane.
From there, it was Execration who controls the map adding five more kills in the tenth minute at the bottom lane and all five sticking close to more of a team fight.
EXE closed the match as they secured the sanctuary lord and countered Blu Fire's defense to destroy the base and get the sweep 16-6.
Hate, who utilizes Ling, get the MVP honors with six kills and nine assists.
