Aurora Gaming PH delivered a commanding performance against DianFengYaoGuai, securing a straight-sets victory and controlling the series from start to finish. The team set the tempo early and never let it slip, consistently outplaying DianFengYaoGuai across key moments. Jan Dominic Iv “DOMENGKITE” Del Mundo from Aurora Gaming PH stood out with an exceptional showing throughout the match, while Dylan Aaron “LIGHT” Catipon’s impact and consistency earned him the MVP honors, underlining Aurora Gaming PH’s control of the series.
