Homebois BSE hit hard and fast in Game 2 however. With MusangKing more than happy getting his Yang Jian, Homebois BSE ran over Blacklist International in Game 2 with a convincing eight minute rout. Even PKL Fall 2025 MVP Chammy Paul ‘Chammy1’ Nazarrea couldn’t stop the bleeding for Blacklist International with his signature Guan Yu pick.
In Game 3, the Malaysian squad once again made it look easy in front of their home crowd at the Quill Mall. MusangKing’s Luna and Wong Yit ‘GuiYu’ Siang’s Guan Yu just took control of the game from minute one. Homebois BSE gave another signature hero to Blacklist International in Juschie’s Lam and they simply didn’t care as they take Game 3 in just 12 minutes.
Blacklist International managed to keep in step with Homebois BSE in Game 4. It was close until the first ten minutes of the game. But once Homebois BSE managed to group with MusangKing’s deathball oriented Agudo and take the Enhanced Tyrant. The Malaysians then capitalized on the buff and cleaned up Blacklist International for the victory.
The other Philippine team, WETRND Esports, will take on the Malaysian squad Alpha Gaming in their first taste of action at HoK Nations Clash 2025.
