Former champions Aether Main and ArkAngel along with World Challenger and Empire Monarch advanced in the upper bracket while ULVL and GREY Esports bowed out of the MPL Philippines Season 7 Qualifiers on an action-packed Saturday.
Led by pioneering member Yuji “Yuji” Aizawa and ex-Execration standout Jeff “S4gitnu” Subang with the support of original founder Akosi Dogie, Season 1 winner AE steamrolled past ULVL, 2-0, in the first round.
Season 3 titlist ArkAngel, which is hell-bent on making a comeback to the professional league after falling a win short last season, came through with a 2-0 thrashing of Reech Apex.
