TNC coming out hot after defeating the current top seed of the regular season is here to face off the M4 Champions, Echo Philippines. Echo is currently another top seed contender and is currently second overall in the regular season. Will TNC be able to ride the momentum and take down another Top seed? Or will Echo extinguish any flames TNC tries to fire at them?

Game 1’s draft starts with Echo securing their comfort and signature picks such as Fredrinn and Chou. Arlott, Yve, and Harith have also been picked up. For TNC, they take the meta essentials such as Lancelot, Pharsa, Beatrix, Gloo, and Franco. Both teams ban out clash defining heroes such as Diggie, Faramis, Joy, and Wanwan. 

Game 1 starts with Echo taking the first blood leading to them being able to hold a small gold lead. They are then able to secure the first turtle using this lead. By the second turtle, TNC turns the tide by taking down a few Echo members while also securing the second turtle. Despite Echo securing the third turtle, TNC is still able to hold their gold lead by picking off Echo members and taking down turrets. By this point, TNC holds a gold lead of around 9000 gold. They use this lead to secure the third lord as well as a few Echo members falling down during the lord clash. TNC uses this lord to enter Echo’s base ultimately securing TNC game 1. 

Game 2 starts with TNC sticking to similar picks as the first game with Lancelot, Beatrix, and Gloo. They then pick up the Khufra and Kagura. Echo on the other hand keeps the Chou and takes the Pharsa away from TNC. They also pick up the Lapu-Lapu, Alice, and Claude. The bans for both teams stayed similar to the first game. 

Game 2 starts well for TNC as they take down 2 Echo members as well as securing the first turtle which results in an early gold lead for TNC. Echo during the 4 to 5 minute mark take back the gold lead by taking down TNC’s members but TNC is able to strike back and snatch the gold lead. By the first lord, K1NGKONG is able to successfully secure the lord allowing TNC to hold a comfortable gold lead of around 4000 gold. Echo is able to defend but TNC is yet again able to secure the second lord. Echo is yet again able to defend their base although TNC still holds their gold lead. In a turn of events, Echo is able to outmaneuver TNC and snatches two lords away from them while even almost ending the game. By the 7th lord, TNC is able to successfully get the lord and with this, they are able to successfully walk into the base of Echo eventually ending the game and sweeping Echo with a 2-0 score.
