Blacklist International are the Sibol Mobile Legends: Bang Bang SEA Games 2022 Representatives
Blacklist International became the Sibol Mobile Legends: Bang Bang representatives for the 2022 SEA Games after defeating Nexplay Evos on Day 4 of the Phase 2 qualifiers.
The day started off with a best-of-5 series between Nexplay and RSG PH for the lower bracket finals. In the end, it was Nexplay who proceeded to advance in the qualifiers as they beat RSG 3-1.
Game 1 belonged to Nexplay as Kenneth “CADENZA” Castro’s Jawhead preyed on RSG, with Dylan “Light” Catipon one of the more frequent victims. However, RSG came back with a vengeance on Game 2 as they adjusted their draft accordingly to counter CADENZA’s Jawhead. Fortunately for Nexplay, they closed out the series by winning Games 3 (via a massive comeback) and 4 (with Jhon “H2wo“Salonga’s 11/1/1 MVP performance) respectively.
After two hours, the Grand Finals series between Blacklist International and Nexplay ended with
Game 1 of the series went back and forth with Blacklist coming out on top. For Game 2, despite Nexplay’s unorthodox picks in H2wo’s Karrie and Renren “Ureshi” Nitsuga’s Khaleed, Blacklist’s strats were better as they ended the game fast. Nexplay then took Game 3 via a comeback stemming from CADENZA’s lord steal. Ultimately however, Blacklist took Games 4 and 5 to become the Sibol Mobile Legends representatives.
The 2022 SEA Games will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam in May 2022. Besides Mobile Legends, the Philippines will also send representatives for Crossfire, League of Legends: Wild Rift (Men and Women Divisions), League of Legends (PC), Arena of Valor, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile (Solo and Team), and Garena Free Fire.
