Selangor Red Giants Advance To Upper Bracket Final Of MLBB M7

JAKARTA, Jan 21 (Bernama) -- Selangor Red Giants (SRG) secured a spot in the upper bracket final of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) M7 World Championship after defeating Turkiye’s Aurora Gaming Turkiye 3-2.

In the upper bracket semifinal at Istora Senayan Indoor Tennis Stadium here today, SRG started on the back foot, losing the opening match.

However, Michael Angelo Bocado’s (Arcadia) squad bounced back in the second game with an impressive comeback to level the series. Aurora regained the lead by winning the third match, but SRG delivered another strong performance to tie 2-2 in the fourth match, forcing a decider.

In the fifth and final game, SRG displayed calm and organised gameplay to clinch a 3-2 victory, advancing to the upper bracket final of M7.

“What Aurora showed today was very different, and it felt like they had cards they were waiting to show against us.

“In the games we won, we were able to read how they wanted to play the early game and adjust quickly so they could not snowball faster,” said Arcadia.

SRG is set to face either Aurora PH or Indonesia’s Alter Ego from the other upper bracket semifinal.

For the record, SRG’s best performance in the MLBB World Championship came in M6, where they finished in third place.
