MAKATI - Blacklist International's troubles continue as they saw their fourth straight defeat as they fell to defending local and world champions AP.Bren in a sweep to end their Week 4 campaign Sunday.

The Tier One-backed side saw themselves in unfamiliar territory since Season 9, enduring their joint-longest skid with another beatdown from the Bees.

AP.Bren's dominance was in full display in Game 1 as they creamed Blacklist 9-0 in under 14 minutes, with Kyle "KyleTzy" Sayson and Rowgien "Owgwen" Unigo contributing to all of AP.Bren's kill scores.

It was gold laner Marco "Super Marco" Requitiano's Roger who was the star of the show, getting four kills and two assists and completely putting Kiel "Oheb" Soriano's Harith on bay.

Stephen "Sensui" Castillo's Barats did not get his hands on a single major objective while falling four times at the hands of AP.Bren.

The annihilation continued in the second game as Angelo "Pheww" Arcangel's Faramis leading the charge with two kills and two assists, while Super Marco's signature Brody pick listed 2/0/5 while leading all players in gold per game.

Sensui again hasn't grabbed any major objective, and Blacklist not taking down a single turret in Game 2 with AP.Bren's map superiority was clear from the get-go.

Blacklist will try to stop the bleeding against Minana EVOS on Saturday, while AP.Bren will try to retain their hot momentum against TNC Pro Team on the same day.
