Blacklist International dealt Nexplay EVOS its sixth consecutive loss in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League (MPL) Philippines (PH) Season 10. The Codebreakers finished with a 2-0 clean sweep victory against the White Tigers in quite the dominant fashion. The match series also marked the season debut of Setsuna “Batute” Ignacio (also known as Dogie). Blacklist International is now at the top of the leaderboard with six wins and two losses with a total of 17 points.
Through a post-match conference, the Codebreakers’ star roamer Jonmar "OhMyV33NUS" Villaluna shared some encouraging words for his former teammate John "H2wo" Paul Salonga who recently received backlash from the MLBB community.
Dogie faces defeat in his Season debut as Nexplay EVOS lose its sixth match in a row
Fans were hyped for Nexplay EVOS' iconic pro player and influencer Dogie to be playing against Blacklist International. However, the White Tigers were not able to live up to the expectations of fans.
During game one, Nexplay EVOS was completely overwhelmed by Blacklist International’s aggressive approach and map pressure. In just nine minutes, the Codebreakers were able to widen the gap with an 8k gold lead and nine kills. Despite Nexplay EVOS’ desperate attempts to defend, Blacklist International was already ahead of them in terms of resources and was able to easily close and win the game at the 16-minute mark.
Blacklist International kept its momentum going in the second game. While Mariusz "Donut" Tan’s Wanwan was able to pull off impressive feats during the match, it was not enough to help Nexplay EVOS gain momentum. A crucial Lord contest occurred at the 17-minute mark which killed off three of the White Tigers, leaving its base open for a massive push. Blacklist International took this opportunity to close the game and secure a clean sweep victory.
OhMyV33NUS shared a message for his former ally H2wo
Nexplay EVOS’ star jungler H2wo recently received backlash from the MLBB community due to his subpar performance in the MPL PH Season 10. Through a post-match press conference his former Dream High Gaming teammate, OhMyV33NUS left an inspiring message for the star jungler amidst the criticism.
“For H2[wo], stay strong. I know that this is your dream, which is to play in the MPL. Keep it up,” said the queen of Blacklist International.
OhMyV33NUS added that H2wo can excel in his own way as they both played together back when they were still under Dream High Gaming, before it was rebranded to ONIC PH.
