Cunning Slytherin, victor of the lower bracket, dethroned confident Ravenclaw in their ploy for gold in a pulverizing victory, 3-0, in a BO5 Mobile Legends Championship, held at the Apolloze, San Vicente, Tarlac, Yesterday, November 23, 2024.
Greedy for a win, Slytherin refused to share a single round with Ravenclaw, humbling the Intellects with a killing spree, 18-7, 16-5, 23-16, leaving them to settle with silver.
"Sobrang saya, nabawian namin sila dahil hinulog nila kami sa lower bracket," team captain of Slytherin, Khristian Junel Dizon expressed.
Despite their lack of preparation due to conflict of schedules amongst their teamates, the Green Snakes managed to upstage their rivaling house.
"Sadly, nawala yung gigil namin ngayong championships, pero we're going to come back stronger as a team," Kristian Espinosa, team captain of Ravenclaw declared.
"Makikita at makikita niyo parin kami," he added.
Before this setback, Ravenclaw pulverized their way to the championships, staying undefeated with clean streaks, especially in their first game against Hufflepuff in Match 2, totalling a 2-0 win, 18-6, 27-20.
Meanwhile, the loyal Hufflepuff retracted their claws, taking bronze after standing powerless against Slytherin in the lower bracket, 2-0, in a BO1 match, 17-4.
Hufflepuff bowed out of the tournament with no wins to their name.
Moreover, Gryffindor was first to exit due to a technicality after failing to submit their player accounts to the CASS Student Council prior to tournament, thus ending in their disqualification.
As per the IRR of the game, "Each player can only use 1 registered account for the entire tournament."
With this, Slytherin moved forward in the upper bracket as they take Match 1 by default against the disqualified Lions.
The Mobile Legends tournament is part of the first day events of the annual PalaCASSan 2024 of the College of Arts and Social Sciences.
