MAKATI - Winless no more.
Minana EVOS finally breaks into the win column as they upset RSG Philippines to wrap Day 2 of Week 2 of MPL Philippines on Saturday, 2-0.
The Raiders did not made any changes in their roster coming off a 2-1 victory against AP.Bren, while Minana mixed their first and second lineups, inserting Bien "Boyet" Chumecera, Jan Dominic "Domeng" Delmundo, and Borris James "Brusko" Parro from their 1-2 loss against Blacklist International on Friday.
RSG started the game strong up until the 14th minute where a second lord take turned the tables for the Tigers from Domeng's Claude.
From there it was all Minana as they never looked back and close the first game, 9-6, with Brusko's Khufra taking the MVP nof with 0/1/3 KDA.
It was a different second game for the Tigers as they executed a 14-3 master class, with the only deaths coming from Domeng's Beatrix and Jhon Marl "Lord JM" Sebastian's Edith.
Minana controlled the game from the get-go, not letting any neutral objective fell into RSG's hands, and taking all towers compared to them losing just two.
Domeng's Beatrix grabbed the MVP nod with just two kills and four assists, with the two kills coming from highlight Renner's Apathy snipes against Eman "EMANN" Sangco's Claude and Dylan Aaron "Light" Catipon's Franco, the latter falling six times.
Lance "LanceCy" Cunanan's Valentina grabbed seven kills and four assists, while Boyet's Baxia scored three kills and nine assists.
Minana will wrap their three-game weekend against AP.Bren, while the Raiders will try to uplift themselves against ECHO, both on Sunday.
