The Monthly Philippine Online Tournament (MPOT) is hosted by the StarCraft division of the Mineski-Events Team spearheaded by TFDCLIVE. This very first Philippine StarCraft 2 tournament aims to ignite the local competitive scene and we can say that it has been pretty successful. The tournament started out with 32 players and one walked away the champion.

A number of upsets occurred throughout the event. The most notable was the match between mski.BLaZeR and CUBE.Prodigalson (formerly known as Dodong[WoT] in SC1) wherein BLaZeR was taken out. BLaZeR has been notable for winning the last remaing SC1 tournaments since early 2010.

Also in the tournament, we saw the reemergence of old local legends such as Markpopo and the eventual champion, Def. Markpopo is the former StarCraft WCG champion and Def has been notable in his WarCraft3 career.

To say the least, the tournament was a success as it brought out the start of StarCraft 2 competition locally!

Team Execration, formerly known as team Prime during the previous season, manages to grab their second championship title after having a twice to beat advantage on finals against the crowd’s favorite, team Mineski Grounds.

Execration, former team Prime

Team Roster:

Hide ‘Ironhide‘ Yanagida (Captain)
Kimuel ‘Leumik‘ Rodis
Pipoy ‘DoA‘ Bondal
Mark ‘Mackkk‘ dela Cruz
Rhymel ‘Candyfury‘ Olete
Justin ‘Mao‘ Metica (Stand-in)

Manager: Arvin ‘Beho‘ Risos

Road to Championship

Reformation

With the departure of their two fellow comrades some weeks ago, the team has decided to add up former long time Mineski player,  Rhymel ‘Candy‘ Olete and two former Pag-ibig players, Mark ‘Mackkk‘ dela Cruz and Justin ‘Mao‘ Metica as stand-in to strengthen their new lineup. Hide had also finally cleared up their sponsorship issues on Prime along with their former manager.

Quoted from  Hide 'Ironhide' Yanagida, Execration Leader:

“Several months ago, we left the Prime organization but we continue to play local and online tourneys using the same tag with a different manager because it is difficult to think a new team name besides we also have a debt of gratitude to our former manager, without him the team won’t be together. “

Execution

The newly reformed team of Execration debuts on the afternoon facing the team of Cyberteria, which seems to be new in the league, together with the junior stars of Theos-Bacs II and the famous team of Battleground in the Group Stage. It was a 3-0 run for the 1st day of Execration. On that following day, their team battled out against the teams of  Prodigy, followed by Team Hambog, Mineski Infinity and Intra. All have failed to stop the dominance of Execration to secure the twice to beat advantage from the winner’s bracket.

Static X

Certificate

The Mineski Events Team gave a certificate of participation to the teams who joined AMPGL Leg 2-3. The MET thought of this as a token of appreciation for those teams who participated.
