Teams Prosty, Evil Child, DnC and RoG are all rookie teams fighting to get their teams in the top spot. Spectators and observers from the tournament were amazed at how these 4 teams were able to came up and even beat veteran teams like Prime and Happyfeet. All in all team Pag-ibig and Mineski emerged on the top spots, new captain Mski.BG01 lead Mineski on the charge for the finals with two new members in their line-up, returnee player Mski.Ranch (CandyPop) and Mski. Doc from team Prime. All the efforts of Mineski where in vain as they were denied by Pag-ibig 1 a chance to win and did justice to their sister team Pag-ibig 2 as they avenged them by beating Mineski twice. Once in the battle for the twice-to-beat slot and in the finals.
Love (Pag-ibig) makes it all possible
The veteran team from Recto, which comprises of two teams Pag-ibig 1 and 2 flocked on the play day expecting to win and dominate the first round of the event. However they were much more surprised when they cruised easily in into the finals especially that they just had a new member, i <3 Mao from their roster. The team bagged Php 15,000.00 and goodies from GArena and Mineski Management.
