Smart Omega Dominates Team Falcons to Halt Losing Streak in MPL Philippines Season 16

Smart Omega decisively ended its losing streak with a commanding 2-0 victory against former world champions Team Falcons in the MPL Philippines Season 16 match held Sunday at the Green Sun Hotel. This win allowed Smart Omega to bounce back from earlier defeats to AP.Bren and TNC, evening their record to 2-2 while dropping Team Falcons to 1-3 after suffering their second consecutive loss.

The first game showcased a standout performance by veteran midlaner Salic "Hadji" Imam, who skillfully stole the Lord on his Luo Yi and executed a double kill, taking down Super Marco (Moskov) and FlapTzy (Arlott) to secure the initial lead.

In Game 2, Smart Omega delivered near-perfect teamwork spearheaded by exp laner James "Jeymz" Gloria (Lapu-Lapu) and jungler Dean "Raizen" Sumagui (Fanny). Their coordinated effort resulted in a four-player takedown near the Lord pit by the 12th minute.

Despite Team Falcons successfully reviving all four players in time to defend against the approaching Lord, they failed to halt Smart Omega’s relentless assault. Kenneth "Nets" Barro (Harith), the team’s gold laner, executed a spectacular play to finish the series.

Dean "Raizen" Sumagui earned the Game 2 MVP title after achieving five kills and five assists without dying, playing a crucial role in Smart Omega’s second victory in four games.
