realme Regional Wars: Campus Edition 2025 - Grand Finals Recap
After the tournament admins penalized Lite EOS for a rulebook violation, PNC Archon took an early lead in Game 1. PNC started Game 2 aggressively after this early lead. They secured key objectives, particularly the turtle, and scored early kills to build a large Gold lead and win quickly.
The final match was the most intense. To survive, Lite EOS nearly infiltrated PNC Archon's base following Kylezuu's Maniac. A brave base defense led by Karll (with Harith) saved the final base turret. Further, Krema used Gatotkaca's ultimate skill to help PNC Archon come back and steal a critical Lord during the narrow opening. PNC clinched the series with a last, flawless attack after this dramatic momentum change.
Krema was named Finals MVP, while Karll was hailed Match 3 MVP for his crucial performances (8-2-8 KDA and 89 percent kill participation). PNC Archon took home PHP 100,000 cash and a realme 15 Pro 5G, while Finals MVP Krema received PHP 50,000-worth of realme products.
Meanwhile, 2nd placers Lite EOS and 3rd placers Vanguard Esports T1 bagged PHP 30,000 and PHP 20,000 in consolation, respectively.
PCC group stage slot secured
Krema said in a post-game interview that the team's win was special:
We have been together for a long time, but we always felt cursed in the playoffs – it was either a reverse-sweep in the first round or a total zero finish. This is our first time ever reaching the finals and even securing the championship title.
Further, this victory is a breakthrough for PNC Archon Esports:
We didn't expect to win, but this is just the beginning for us.
Krema added:
We will continue to join every tournament available.
At Campus Playfest 2025, slated for December 7-8 at the SM MOA Arena Music Hall, PNC Archon Esports will compete in the PCC National League Group Stages to advance to the Grand Finals. realme 15 Pro 5G will be the event's official gaming phone.
