After dropping Game 1 to the Russian powerhouse, ONIC PH, coached by Ynot featuring Kelra, K1ngkong, Brusko, Kirk, and Super Frince, bounced back with a dominant showing in Game 2 to level the series.

Game 3 proved to be the turning point. Trailing by 9,000 gold, ONIC PH leaned on Kelra’s Granger. In what became the longest match of the Knockout Stage at 29 minutes, Kelra’s clutch plays and precise mechanics swung the game in ONIC PH’s favor.

He followed it up with another brilliant Granger performance in Game 4, securing a Maniac by eliminating four Team Spirit members in the final clash. ONIC PH broke through the enemy base at the 18:50 mark, sealing the series and eliminating Team Spirit from the tournament.
