M3: A Suprise from the Underdog
Yesterday was the first day of the playoff in the Mobile Legends Bangbang M3 World Championships. If you want to know what is M3 you can read my previous post about it here
The First Match Was Intense
The first match of the playoff was intense, it was the match of Blacklist International from Philipines against BloodThirstyKings (BTK) an American Team as the representatives from North America region.
Blacklist was the upper hand because they are the winner of the Philippines championships. And they have been in a steady and strong campaign before. While BTK is the strongest team in North America, but since they don't have any local championship, their strength was not really favorable.
But the match was such a surprise, BTK can get past Blacklist in the first game out of five in what looks like an easy win. That really gives Blacklist a slap in the face, and also most of the viewers who predict Blacklist will win easily.

Blacklist response well, and won the next two games. Making the score 2-1 for them. But what happened next was unbelievable, BTK manage to win the remaining games and won the match with a 3-2 score for them. What a surprise.
The Underdog also almost give a blow on the second match
The second match yesterday was Evos SG from Singapore against BDL from Turkey. Evos Sg was the winner of the Singapore Championships, while BDLwas the winner of Turkey Championships, but still Evos SG was the favorite of that match.
The first game was already a surprise because BDL can win and give a warning for all the other teams that the underdog can do much better in this tournament.
Evos SG performs well in the next games, winning 3 games in a row and winning the match with a 3-1 score.
