MANILA - Bren Esports book their Finals ticket for the fourth time in franchise history as they dismantle ONIC PH in three games of a possible best-of-five in the MPL-PH Season 6 Semifinals on Saturday.

The inaugural MPL-PH champions secured their berth after beating last two season's runners-up after they dominated the late games of all three matches.

The former Aether Main squad started with toe to toe against their opponent in a match that shows both technical and drafting aspects, trying to cancel out OhMyV33nus's options for a support mage.

KarlTzy's Ling took most of the buffs, as well dealt most of the damage as he was named MVP of the first game, contributing to 25 of 28 total Bren kills, 12 of which from his kill list alone.

It was a much faster second game for both sides, with Bren outperforming ONIC in getting their objectives checked in under 14 minutes, while fielding a lineup of a core Harith and a surprise Kadita pick.

Despite OhMyV33nus grasping of her signature Pharsa pick, Bren ultimately negates Wise's influence on the map with his Roger only tallying two kills and five assists with two deaths.

Another sub-14 minute affair was booked in favor of Bren as they called game, set, and match 14 kills to just ONIC's eight.

KarlTzy's Claude proved to be ONIC's thorn in their side, while negating Dlar's Esmeralda and Jay's Khufra to cut their map awareness.

Bren again outmaneuvered their opponents in the third game, getting the lord and nine of ten towers against ONIC.

KarlTzy ws named the game MVP ash he registered a 7/1/4 and taking care of all but one turret kills, while Ribo's Uranus and Lusty's Nana helped in securing a sustained lineup.

ONIC PH will settle for a bronze-metal  match against Group A leaders Execration , while Bren will try to end their season on a high note wilth their Finals against Omega PH.
