Selangor Red Giants take over in thrilling best-of-seven showdown against Falcons AP.Bren
Both teams were undefeated going into the grand final.
The first two games were a back-and-forth affair. AP.Bren secured the first game with a backdoor victory, while the Red Giants narrowly won the second game with a crucial wipeout.
After two more intense games, Selangor Red Giants reached match point in game five with a dominant performance from Muhammad Haqqullah “Sekysss” Ahmad Shahrul Zaman on Alpha, shutting down Kyle “KyleTzy” Sayson’s Fanny pick.
Falcons AP.Bren didn’t go down without a fight in game six. KyleTzy’s Nolan and Marco “Super Marco” Requitiano’s Roger led to a dominant 14-2 victory in just under 12 minutes.
In the deciding game seven, Selangor Red Giants used a three-crowd control setup with Ruby, Alpha, and Minotaur against Falcons AP. Bren’s team-fight-heavy composition.
The Selangor Red Giants’ lineup proved decisive, as they dominated throughout the match. Minotaur and Ruby’s crowd control, combined with Alpha’s Spear of Alpha ultimate, left Falcons AP.Bren no time to fight back.
The game-winning team fight at the 17-minute mark saw Selangor Red Giants initiate a successful engagement after baiting AP.Bren towards the Lord pit.
This resulted in a wipeout following Muhammad “Yums” Suhairi’s three-man knockup using Minotaur.
With all five members of the Filipino squad down, the Malaysians abandoned the Lord and went straight to the base, securing their hard-earned victory.
Sekysss was proclaimed the grand final MVP for his outstanding performance in the series.
