(Manila Bulletin) The curse of the MPL Invitational continued to haunt the Philippine teams as the last Filipino team standing in RSG Philippines bowed out of the tournament after a 2-1 loss to the Geek Fam Indonesia on Sunday, Nov. 6.

Ironically, the last MPL Philippine team in the semifinals saw their campaign end at the hands of two Filipino imports Allen “Baloyskie” Baloy and Aaron “JanaaQT” Lazaro who led the Indonesian crew to another monumental upset of a Filipino champion team.

Fresh from a 2-0 sweep of Blacklist International a day before, Geek Fam continued to shock the rest of the field when it scored a dominant 10-5 victory in the series opener.

1rrad kept his steady play for RSG PH in the onset of the match but Aboy on the midlane Valentina pick proved to be the biggest thorn to the side of the Filipino crew, finishing with perfect 5-0-1 line.
