| Right on the final match of the regular season, Aurora finally sealed the first-round bye in the playoffs. MPL Philippines |
MAKATI--Aurora braved a scare from Team Falcons Philippines to score a 2-1 win in the final match of the MPL Philippines Season 15 regular season on Sunday night at the Green Sun Hotel Ballroom.
The win was enough for Aurora to seal the second seed in the playoffs, eventually putting Onic Philippines' last dash to the said position to waste.
Aurora will join top-seeded Team Liquid Philippines in the upper bracket round outright.
Aurora, which was on the verge of dropping to the third seed after Falcons PH took Game 1, overturned the match in Games 2 and 3 as Jonard "Demonkite" Caranto displayed separate masterclasses as Suyou and Fanny, respectively, despite the recent nerfs to the said assassin heroes.
The outcome also effectively means that Onic PH, which will now settle for the third seed, will have to beat sixth-seeded Twisted Minds Philippines in a play-in match on May 28 if they also want to secure a Final Four slot.
Falcons PH, on the other hand, ended its regular season stint falling to 8-6 as it will now turn its attention to its own play-in clash against TNC.
