If you tuned-in to the first week of regular season, you’ll know that there were several upsets and surprise results from a number of matchups. Here are a few matches for this Saturday and Sunday that you should watch out for.
DD vs White Rascals
The White Rascals made a hell of an impression in their first week with their clean sweep on the first day and going even with one of the crowd favorites of this tournament, OBS Raven. They’re going against two Digital Devil teams this week, DD Demon Kings and DD No Limit who both have yet to score points. Will the Rascals pull off another commanding victory? They’re presence is shaking up the competition more than anyone ever expected.
Aether Main vs Aether Valkyrie
Aether Main has demolished their competition so far and are ahead in points in the MPL Philippines league standings. They’ll be facing their sister team Aether Valkyrie who are tied for second place with White Rascals and OBS Gaming. These two Aether teams have played a lot of practice matches together so it’ll be exciting to see if they’ll pull out something new to surprise their sparring partners. Both teams have a chance to claim the top place this week so you can expect that both teams will definitely give their all in Day 2’s scheduled studio match.
Aether vs OBS Weekend
It’s going to be an exciting OBS vs Aether weekend. With OBS Gaming’s unexpected defeat against Aether Main last week, will OBS Gaming suffer another defeat to another Aether team or will they learn from their previous losses? Look to OBS Gaming as they fight to get their footing in the regular season of the MPL Philippines.
OBS Raven is also scheduled to take on leading team, Aether Main. OBS Gaming, Raven’s sister team lost to Aether Main in last week’s series so everyone is wondering if OBS Raven will take revenge for their sister team and finally stop Aether Main’s win streak. Pride is riding on the line this weekend so be sure to tune in May 19 and May 20 for week 2 of MPL PH regular season, the matches are set to start at 15:30 SGT.
