LXIX outlasts PDR, NU-AJW sweeps AiM in all-Filipina CODM Valkyrie Series matchup
Tyrant LXIX survived a gritty challenge from PDR Bees while Nifty Ultra AJW blanked AiM Genesis out of the picture last night in the ongoing CODM Valkyrie Series.
LXIX, which came into the game as the number 1 seed expected a tough challenge from the number 2 seed PDR. Sure enough, their fellow Filipinas gave them a run for their money, handing them their first map loss across 12 matches.

On the other hand, Nifty Ultra AJW nipped AiM Genesis 150-124 in Hardpoint at Standoff, 6-3 in Search and Destroy at Crossfire, and 150-101 in Domination at Summit.
With the results of last night’s matches, Tyrant LXIX stayed at the top of the standings with 11 wins and only 1 loss, while PDR came into a joint tie for second and third place with Singapore’s Lugiami with 9 wins and 3 losses apiece. NU AJW comes in at 4th with 7 wins against 5 losses, while AiM Genesis rounds out the top 5 with 5 wins and 7 losses.
