MANILA - ONIC Arsenals make quick work of Blacklist Academy LTX with a clean 2-0 to finish the first half of their MDL Philippines Season 2 campaign Thursday.
The Tier One-backed side were still winless after six matches, conceding yet another sweep..
ONIC Arsenals placed Lanz Toby "SBOTY" Perfania in place of regular started Landher "Der" San Gabriel in the EXP lane, while substitute roamer Adriane Paul "Zamara" Baliga plays in this series in place of first-choice Jefferdson "kkdot" Mogol..
The Arsenals executed a low-scoring Game 1 victory over the Academy, five kills to one, will all kills courtesy of James "Jamespangks" Mendoza's Bane, and the rest of the former winning map control from the start.
Jerry Ian "Chovyy" Nicol's Pharsa provided four assists in the match, while the only Blacklist kill was against Zamara's Atlas from Rhonald "Bullet" Bacolod's Beatrix.
ONIC Arsenals repeated their performance with a 14-6 domination in the second game, getting two turtles and all three lords in less than 20 minutes of play..
Despite Blacklist playing a more standard draft, they were still outclassed by the Arsenals, with Jamespangks getting another MVP nod with eight kills and four assists.
ONIC Arsenals, now at 2-3, will try to continue their momentum in Week 4 against MHRLK Esports on Tuesday, while Blacklist Academy LTX will battle the same squad next Thursday..
