MAKATI - Blacklist International's winning ways continue as they grab another sweep against Coach Brian "Panda" Lim and RSG Philippines on Saturday.

The Codebreakers grabbed another crucial win, following up on the victory against Falcons AP.Bren yesterday which ended in a 2-0 sweep.

Michael "MP The King" Endino's Hayabusa led the way for Blacklist in the first game as the jungler went onslaught will 11 kills and three assists, while Jhon Marl "Lord JM" Sebastian grabbed two kills and game-high 13 assists.

Lord JM puts Jhondy "Nibor" Ranque's Hylos on skates as the bulky hero fell six times while only providing two assists.

RSG put up a fightback in the second game, with Arvie "Aqua" Antonio's Yve putting up three kills in the process, while putting up pressure on Blacklist during the entire 20 minutes.

However, veterans Salic "Hadji" Imam and Kiel "Oheb" Soriano clicked to the late game, with the two combining for eight kills and 11 assists while going down just two times.

RSG sustained up until the end where Aqua was left alone to defend after a team fight and went to Blacklist's favor, with the utility mage not able to defend.

With the win, Blacklist climbed to 3-8, while RSG sank to 3-6, with the Raiders ahead with two games to spare.

RSG PH will meet defending champs Falcons AP.Bren on Sunday while Blacklist will meet another playoff hopeful Team Liquid PH.
