FlapTzy explains how they easily defeated Blacklist International

Through a post-match interview, Bren Esports’ seasoned veteran David "FlapTzy" Canon shared how the team prepared for their encounter against Blacklist International and secure that top seed of the MPL PH Season 11 playoffs bracket.

“I guess, it’s because we really prepared for this in our training and committed to training and maybe we kept our momentum on Game 1 so our gameplay was on point in Game 2,” explained FlapTzy.

Despite having a seemingly one-sided match against Blacklist International, the star EXP Laner admitted that there are times the squad had doubted their tactics as they were dealing with one of the strongest teams in the Philippines.

Bren Esports secured a top-seed playoffs with a clean sweep victory. ECHO can only gain a maximum of 30 points and has a chance to secure an upper bracket playoffs spot if it sweeps its remaining matches. Blacklist International has 23 points and only a slim chance to qualify for the upper bracket playoffs if ECHO loses its last two games in the regular season.
