Amihan Esports Crowned Champions in the Wild Rift SEA Icon Series PH: Summer Season
Following an intense match in the grand finals, Amihan Esports won the regional championship after defeating Team Secret by a score of 3-2 in a BO5 match. Both teams showcased their skills with Team Secret playing their popular high-sustain team composition. However, Amihan stood firm with their traditional lineup and eventually overcame Team Secret thanks to their impressive team chemistry and map control.
We saw Team Secret's secret weapon, the Seraphine and Sona dragon lanes, in the first three games. Amihan Esports won game one thanks to Karlll’s Fiora initiating a crucial backdoor at the 22-minute mark while Team Secret secured game two with their massive sustained team composition and Tatsurii’s Galio securing a quadra kill. Amihan had the objectives stolen during the third game but Team Secret dominated the map thanks to the sustain provided by Hewy’s Seraphine and Hamez’s Sona. Overall, Team Secret was pretty consistent in the first three matches.
In the fourth match, we finally witnessed Team Secret letting go of their high sustain team composition, opting for a traditional team setup for both teams. However, this didn’t work in their favor as Karlll’s Akali was simply too powerful for them to handle, allowing Amihan to secure their second win.
In the final deciding match, Amihan went very aggressive, giving Team Secret a pretty hard time. An impressive Baron steal from Trebor’s Camille allowed Team Secret to even the tides. However, this didn’t stop Amihan from dominating the whole match. At the 14-minute mark, a crucial team fight occurred at the top lane which cost Team Secret three of their members, allowing Amihan to finish the game and claim the championship title.
