October 18 ------ Aurora and Blacklist International gutted out massive victories in the knockout play-in round to advance to the playoff round of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Season 14 at the Green Sun Hotel.
Fourth-seeded Aurora pulled off a major upset, dethroning Team Liquid Philippines (formerly Echo) with a 3-2 victory while Blacklist swept Smart Omega, 3-0, as both squads clinched a Final Four ticket. Aurora and Blacklist will now face Fnatic ONIC Philippines and Falcons AP Bren, respectively, later today in the upper bracket.
Aurora had the chance to seal it in four games, but Team Liquid showed its championship poise in Game 4 behind the spotless KDA from Alston "Sanji" Pabico (Luo Yi), who dropped one kill and eight assists to star in their 9-3 rampage, as the reigning champions dragged Aurora to do-or-die Game 5. However, Aurora regrouped in the decider, showing the door to Team Liquid in just 14 minutes with seasoned exp laner Edward "Edward" Dapadap leading the way with 3/0/3 KDA on his Terizla.
In the first game, the troika of Jhon Marl “Lord JM” Sebastian, Michael “MP the King” Endino, and Salic "Hadji" Imam joined forces as the Codebreakers eliminated the third-seeded Omega.
