The UST Teletigers bagged gold in the grand finals of the Alliance Games for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang after dominating the University of Batangas (UB) Brahman Sports, 3-1, at the CONQuest Festival at the SMX Convention Center on July 24.
TGR Chaos took first blood with 13-11 team kills in Game 1 but Brahman Sports retaliated in Game 2, 13-26.
Despite UB having more team kills in Game 3, 17-18, UST still secured the game after sealing Game 4 with 13-10 team kills.
“We trusted each other in the team and played as one every time,” TGR Chaos team captain Jerome “TGR Røme” Escalante told the Varsitarian.
Escalante said the team’s lack of practice resulted in some uncertainties for the finals series but they did not deter the team’s performance.
“The advantage of the team [TGR Chaos] against UB was team chemistry, everyone in the team knew what they should do and each of us trusted each other,” he added.
TGR Chaos head coach Joshua “TGR Chino” See said there is always room for improvement as they believe that they can always be better.
“For me, the team has not reached its peak form yet. Kumbaga marami pa kaming bag of tricks,” he said.
The team was composed of TGR Røme, Kobi “TGR Drew_” Ortua, Nathanael “TGR Emperorzxzz” Teodoro, Wilfredo “TGR Daisey Gorgeous” Pico Jr., Armen “TGR Armen” Chung, John Patrick “TGR yoshii” Santos, Marius “TGR YECHEIL” Pedrealba, with TGR Chino as their coach and Nicole “TGR Titania” Tecson as the team’s manager.
TGR Chaos took home a P40,000 cash prize.
