It was a dominant performance all around for the ladies from Xipto GC as they made quick work of the Koreans in just four maps. Leanne ‘Grahams’ Ti-in lead the charge racking up 15 First Kills out of her team’s 45 for the series.
Alongside Grahams, other Filipinos in the squad are In-Game Leader Mary Grace ‘capriciouS’ Sabado, Loraine ‘Kon’ Pagante, and Kim ‘PIETY’ De Guia. Rounding up the squad is Thai duelist Surassawadee ‘Yxqme’ Khongpechdee.
The series went to the classic pick Bind for the first game. Grahams brought out the Yoru for Xipto GC alongside Yxqme’s Waylay. The double duelist comp created all sorts of problems for Ninetails as it was a quick route with 13-9 scoreline.
Map 2 on Abyss was the only win for Ninetails in the series. Jo ‘DaNa’ Se-won’s Jett was on an absolute tear as she racked up 31 kills in 2 assists in a monster performance. While Xipto brought out the double Duelist agression with Yoru and Waylay anew, Ninetails were more than ready for it in their map pick.
With the series shifting to Haven on Map 3, Grahams on the Omen was too much to handle for Ninetails. She had a fresh and full bag of tricks on the agent and once again took command with an outstanding 94% Kill Participation score.
In Map 4, the Xipto girls were ready to go for the jugular against the Koreans in Corrode. Grahams remained on the Omen while Yxqme shifted to the Yoru. Grahams capitalized on the chaos driven line up with 20 kills and 6 assists.
Unfortunately, Falcons Vega who featured two other Filipino players in Alexandria ‘Alexy’ Francisco and Camille ‘Kamiyu’ Enriquez in the Gamechangers Pacific 2025 failed to qualify for the Seoul tournament.
