MANILA - Aura PH bags all three points needed to force a three-way battle to the top as they sweep a hapless Blu Fire 2-0 in the last week of MPL-PH Season 6 regular season.
Blu Fire started strong in the first two minutes of the first game, but Aura responded with a series of kills while getting most of the objectives.
With Yi Sun-shin and Rafflesia combining for 12 of 17 Aura kills, the two-time champions prevented Blu Fire to get a single turret, turtle, or lord, while limiting Blu Fire to just five kills.
Jaypee's Yi Sun-shin led Aura with a 7/1/7 KDA to put his team 1-0.
It was the same narrative for both teams in the second game, with Aura going for an all-out attack quintet while Blu Fire switch to defenses.
Blu Fire's defense, however, was exposed as Aura prevented Chuuu to get a single kill while Limz and Fuzaken were punished for a combined 11 times.
Jaypee again led Aura's side as they continued to extinguish Blu Fire's last hopes of getting a point, with Rafflesia tanking most of the damage.
Aura PH secured the win in under 14 minutes as they outplayed and eventually wiped out the entire Blu Fire squad in a matter of seconds in the top lane, 22-8.
Blu Fire bowed out of the tournament with all 13 matches ending up in losses while only getting two points from two games they won against ONIC in Week 1 and NXP Solid in Week 5.
Aura PH now sits in probationary first place with 24 points and a 10-2 slate, ahead of Execration by head-to-head results.
The defending champions has still one game left against rivals ONIC PH on Sunday to cap off the entire regular season.
