The victory enabled them to exact revenge on the Indonesian champions, who won the MPL Invitational 2021 with a 3-1 record.
Onic ID fired up Game 1 with an aggressive play in early minutes with their Selena and Hylos picks. However, Blacklist secured the Sanctuary Lord at the 9-minute mark that gave the squad control of the game. The Filipino squad’s 21st-minute lord clash triumph ushered them to finish the game in the 22nd minute with a 17-13 kill advantage against Onic ID, leading the best-of-three series, 1-0.
Though Blacklist International had a strong start in Game 2, this doesn’t let Onic ID let their guard down. Blacklist’s gank attempt at the 20-minute mark was successfully escaped by Onic ID’s Sanz (Natan). After that, the Indonesian team managed to take down two from Blacklist. Onic ID ended the second game with a 9-7 kill lead, making the series tied 1-1.
In the do-or-die Game 3, Blacklist International showed their all-out performance as they dominated Onic ID in the 13th-minute match with a 7-1 kill score. Securing the lord at the 9-minute mark led the Blacklist to destroy all Onic ID towers and eventually won the game, 2-1.
With their victory, Blacklist International will face the winner of the match between Turkey’s Bedel and Brazil’s Vivo Keyd Stars. The Lower Round 3 match is set for December 15.
Meanwhile, Onic Esports Indonesia was placed in 9th-12th places taking home USD 15,000 from the USD 800,000 prize pool.
