Bleed Esports took game 1, with Souliya “Jackky” Khoomphetsavong’s deathless Slark dominating Marc “Raven” Fausto’s Shadow Fiend and the rest of the Blacklist Rivalry crew. However, the latter bounced back in game 2, with Karl Matthew Baldovino’s Kunkka making waves in the midlane, ending the game 23-9 in Blacklist Rivalry’s favor.
Game 3 was a die-or-die match, as both teams looked to make a strong debut in the 2023 DPC season. Blacklist Rivalry bared their fangs and made the opposition bleed, ending the game in a 29-16 win. Karl’s Tiny made a huge impact on the game, ending in with a record of 11-5-9.
This victory puts Blacklist Rivalry at the top 1 position in Division I of the SEA DPC Tour 1, tied with Team Execration and Geek Slate. Meanwhile, Bleed Esports sits at the fourth position, tied with BOOM Esports and Team Fnatic.
The next set DPC games will be played on Wednesday, January 11 starting at 1:00 PM PHT.
