NAOS Esports survive Ascension Pacific elimination with first win

Filipino bets NAOS Esports pulled through in their first do-or-die match in the VCT Ascension Pacific 2024, but they still have a long journey ahead.

NAOS Esports vs Oblivion Force

NAOS faced Hong Kong team Oblivion Force in Lower Bracket Round 1 of the VCT Ascension Pacific 2024 on September 22.

The two teams first clashed on Icebox, NAOS’ map pick. The PH squad grew a sizable lead to start the map. OF attempted to stop the snowball and was almost successful. But, NAOS persevered to take the opening map, 13-10. Federico “PapiChulo” Evangelista on Viper was the map MVP after leading the server with his 23 / 11 / 6 KDA.

They next met on Lotus, OF’s pick. The tale of this map was no different than the first, with NAOS ending the first half with a commanding 9-3 scoreline. This time, though, they gave the Hong Kong team less room to breathe and promptly closed the series with this 13-7 win. Jerome “Mojer” Literal, who piloted Raze, was the map MVP after leading the server in KDA. Mojer also reached a staggering 357 Average Combat Score and averaged 238 damage per round.
