MAKATI - RSG Philippines ends their MPL Philippines Season 12 first half on a winning note as they trample a hapless TNC Pro Team, two games to none, Sunday.
Both teams remained unchanged with their lineup despite contrasting results, with TNC losing to Blacklist International and RSG sweeping Smart Omega.
The Raiders escaped in the first game on a close 8-7 affair but John Darry "Irrad" Abarquez ended the game in his terms as his Lancelot dashed the full team clash and went straight into the TNC base to clear out the remaining minions and called GGs.
The jungler grabbed the MVP nod with 1/0/4 KDA in his name, while main damage dealer Eman "EMANN" Sangco's Bruno went with four kills and two assists.
The Raiders lived up to their name in the second game as they thrashed the Phoenix Army, nine kills to just one, with the only kill against EMANN once more with the Bruno.
RSG dominated TNC from the get go, getting important kills against Ben "Benthings" Maglaque and Jetson "Goyo" Ignacio to prevent setups and heals from the two supports.
Nathanael "Nathzz" Estrologo showed an MVP performance with two kills and four assists, while Irrad dominated the jungle with 3/0/4 KDA while getting all the major objectives.
RSG climbed up to four wins and three losses with 11 points, while TNC sinks to 1-6 with just four points in their name.
The Raiders will try to make it two against ONIC Philippines to start their Week 4 campaign, while TNC will try to turn the odds in their favor when they face AP.Bren next week.
