Team Gangster from Philippines to join the rumble in Armaggeddon Grand Slam Asia 2013

 

 

Newly crowned Philippines representative “Team Gangster” will compete in Singapore after defeating Pacific.Neolution 3-1 in the best-of-five finals series of the Armageddon Philippine qualifiers on 11 February. The remaining qualifiers for the Armaggeddon Grand Finals will kick off tonight featuring teams including Shadowplay and Oblique Gaming.

 

An unexpected event happened in the tournament as it was the team that only has 3 representatives to compete in the venue who rose triumphant in the said tournament. According to their team captain, “Janico Coronel”, the other 2 members of their team were playing online from their province.

 

The second day of the tournament ran for about 15 hours straight before fans were able to catch the much anticipated grand finals between Team Gangster and Pacific.Neolution. In the final series, Team Gangster already had a 1 win advantage because of them coming from the winner’s bracket.

Given that they were on the back foot, Pacific.Neolution made the series even more interesting as they surprised Gangster with a win, making the series tied 1-1. After this, Gangster composed themselves and relied on heavy team fight heroes, Void, Enigma, Magnus, Jakiro, Invoker to carry them to victory. As a result the team with only 3 representatives on the venue got the trophy and will fly together with Pacific.Neolution to the Marina Bay Sands convention center in Singapore for the Grand Slam Asia 2013 championships.

 

Different qualifiers in other country have already been settled and teams that will be competing in Singapore are somehow determined. Aside from this, there is also another qualifier that will cater those teams outside the selected countries for Armageddon Grand Slam Asia. Veteran teams such as Shadowplay from Bangladesh and “The Asia” Indian team Oblique Gaming are expected to join the said qualifiers.
