With a grand finals rematch, SIBOL Women’s MLBB team lost the first game of the best-of-5 series but was able to rebound and get the succeeding two games for themselves. Unfortunately, they still lost to Indonesia as the undisputed best women’s team of the tournament took the last two games of the series to take the gold medal.
