Swiss Stage Battles: From Highs to Lows
Strong Opening with Two Victories
BTK kicked off their M6 campaign with a statement win against Ulfhednar, a Turkish team, on November 28. The following day, they continued their dominance over Turkey’s S2G Esports, earning them the title of “Turkey Team Slayer.” These victories were a testament to BTK’s preparation and tactical prowess
Challenges Against Powerhouses
BTK faced their first major setback on December 1, losing a best-of-three series to Fnatic Onic PH (FNOP). FNOP, known for their MPL PH Season 14 victory, proved a tough opponent. Fwydchickn, BTK’s EXP laner, reflected that they nearly secured a 2-0 sweep, indicating how close they came to a monumental upset.
A Tougher Road Ahead
The team’s next match against Falcon Esports on December 2 resulted in another loss, placing BTK on the brink of elimination. This set up a do-or-die match against Malaysia’s Team Vamos. Unfortunately, BTK fell in a clean 2-0 sweep, ending their run in the Swiss Stage. Despite the loss, BTK’s confidence remained high, with MobaZane famously calling Malaysia an “easy server,” a testament to their competitive spirit
