Team Liquid PH (TLPH) vs Alter Ego (AE) - Match Recap
AE propels Indonesia's dreams, denying TLPH's Golden Road. A nation determined to pursue its ambition shook the arena. The battle between TLPH and AE returned with everything at stake. This M7, the Philippines' golden boys were most dangerously predictable: concede Game 1, then defeat their opponents. TLPH didn't worry when AE won Game 1 as expected. As predicted in Games 2 and 3, TLPH reached match point and one game from another all-Filipino Grand Finals.
Game 4 was stunning desperation, as AE clawed back to force Game 5. The Indonesian crowd's shout shook the arena, arming AE. TLPH's Game 5 draft was aggressive, meant to crush hope early. AE held out for the late game, which TLPH's draft couldn't sustain. AE won 3-2 with a decisive strike.
