π’ππŽπ‘π“π’ 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 | Epic Comeback: CCS Lynx Vanquishes 3-Peat COE Eagles in MLBB Grand Finals

The College of Computer Studies (CCS) outmaneuvered the 3-peat champion College of Engineering (COE) in a fierce best-of-three match during the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Tournament yesterday at the Columban College Convery Hall.

After a hard-fought battle in the grand finals, COE Eagles triumphed over the College of Arts, Sciences and Education (CASEd) that made them move upward to compete against CCS Lynx in gold while the Jaguars garnered the bronze medal.

Despite settling for bronze, the Jaguars remained focused on their strategy. One of the Jaguars' players, Kevin Setenta shared that despite their limited preparation due to busy schedules, they concentrated on clear communication and strategic hero selection to perform at their best.

In the first round for gold, COE gained the upper hand with Ron Suarez’s precise retribution securing the first turtle. The score gap widened early as the Eagles celebrated, not knowing that CCS’s relentless minion waves were already threatening to topple their towers, giving the Lynx a glimpse of victory as they pushed forward.

CCS managed to make a huge comeback despite being down with a score of 8–20.

The Lynx secured the first blood, breaking the Eagles’ momentum. That early kill boosted their confidence and marked the turning point that allowed them to control the game, finishing the second match with a 17–14 score.

Carrying that momentum into the deciding match, CCS showed composure and teamwork against the three-time champion. They capitalized on every opportunity, dismantling COE’s defenses until they secured the final push that sealed their victory.

In the post-match interview, the Lynx captain Clarence Suba reflected on their journey, saying, β€œ3 years ko dito sa larangan ng eSports sa Columban at player ng Lynx is a rough road dahil 2 years kaming binigo ng Engr., which is bronze and silver kami noon.” He added that their victory shows what perseverance can achieve, reminding future players that, β€œWalang imposible, makakamit n’yo rin yan.”

COE Eagles secured the silver medal despite their loss in the grand finals.

The CCS Lynx's lineup included Arvin Fontelera, Macky Mendoza, Ivan Francis Ponce, John Anthony Sahagun, and Clarence Kristerson Suba.
