The gold medal marks a redemption for SIBOL’s unfortunate 31st SEA Games run that saw the previous representatives go winless in the tournament.
Prior to their gold medal match, SIBOL had already defeated Vietnam, who previously took the 31st SEA Games gold medal, 3-2 in the lower bracket finals.
As fate would have it, SIBOL and Vietnam booked a rematch in the grand finals after the latter defeated Singapore in a 3-0 sweep.
SIBOL had a great start in their grand finals bout against Vietnam as they took the first two games, owing their success to respective game MVPs Golden “DemonKite” Dajao’s Senna for Game 1 and Justine “Juschie” Tan’s Wukong for Game 2.
Unfortunately, SIBOL blundered in Game 3 which allowed Vietnam to avoid getting swept 3-0 in the grand finals. Thankfully, SIBOL picked themselves up come the fourth game and closed it out 19-8 to win the gold medal.
The SIBOL Wild Rift squad is composed of Nigma Galaxy’s Chammy “Chammy” Nazarrea, Aaron “Aaron” Bingay, Justine “Juschie” Tan, Reniel “Dr4w” Angara, Golden “DemonKite” Dajao, and coaches Van “Vansu” Alfonso and Gerald “Tgee” Gelacio.
