In the heated bout between these two up-and-coming Dota 2 squads made a statement in both games. In Game 1, their control of the early midlane matchup from Julius “JG” Galeon, combined with the teamfight presence from Glenard “Rupido” Rugay’s Dark Seer sealed the deal. Then in Game 2, MIPH nearly suffered a scare as Smurfers’ Philip “Karma” Torres and Ivan Neil “Fiend” Valencia were snowballing efficiently after a shaky start. However, MIPH masterfully timed their engagements during the clutch moments.

In the series, Kryte “LuziFy” Gabriel was heralded by fans as the Intel MVP and received a Predator Helios Neo 16 and Php10,000.

Given Made in Philippines’ championship in the Philippine Finals comes the opportunity to prove their prowess further, as they have received the prestigious honor of representing the Philippines for the upcoming Asia Pacific Predator League 2024 Grand Finals at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on January 13 – 14, 2024.

In addition, Made in Philippines likewise obtained Php250,000, while Smurfers took home Php100,000. Neon Esports and InterActive Philippines each secured Php55,000 for their valiant efforts.

MIPH’s underdog story continues as they are not the only ones to represent the country and compete against the very best.
