The SPN 670 managed to take the championship despite coming from the loser\u2019s bracket and losing its second game in the double-elimination tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The eventual champion squad kicked off its bid in the eight-team tournament with a 2-0 victory over X4CE at the top half of the draw. Next up for the SPN 670 was GU and the latter handed the former its lone loss in the eight-team tournament after cruising to a 2-0 win.<\/p>\n<p>GU earlier prevailed in its opening match against Vigilante Family, 2-0, and the back-to-back victories allowed the team to challenge the Guam All-Stars for the first finals berth. The Guam All-Stars, who topped 671 Covid, 2-0, and Milk Tea, 2-1, made it three in a row after sweeping GU, 2-0, to advance to the finals first.<\/p>\n<p>Both SPN 670 and GU, on the other hand fell to the loser\u2019s bracket and were put in a must-win situation to keep their finals bid alive. The SPN 670 responded with a 2-0 victory over Team Poker and followed it up with another 2-0 triumph over Vigilante Family to earn the right to face GU for the second and last finals ticket.<\/p>\n<p>The SPN 670 went on to reach the championship round after eliminating GU, 2-0, and completed its uphill climb after beating the Guam All-Stars in the first three matches in the finals. The Guam All-Stars, having swept the preliminary matches, were given an automatic victory in the finals thus the 3-1 scores. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SPN 670 ruled the 671 Mobile Legends Mini Tournament held this month.
