In the first round of the series, Aurora Gaming start off strong with early aggression, securing key pick-offs that gave them a gold advantage. Despite their momentum, Team Liquid PH managed to stabilize by focusing on objective control, preventing the deficit from growing further. Still, Aurora maintained map dominance and chipped away at TLPH’s turrets. The turning point came at the 14-minute mark when RORA’s Gold Laner, Domengkite, secured a Maniac during a crucial wipeout, allowing Aurora to close out the game decisively.

With relentless pressure and clinical execution, TLPH dominated the game, tying the series at 1-1.
Game 3
The final round turned into a nail-biting decider. Aurora Gaming, led by Yue’s stellar Novaria performance, controlled the early to mid-game, consistently securing every objective.
