Starting strong, the M2 champions secured a 9-2 win in the opening match, and followed it up with an even more dominant 14-2 victory in Game 2. Although Blacklist International did show signs of resilience with a 13-1 win in Game 3, AP.Bren retaliated with a confident 7-2 win in Game 4, moving them one step closer to capturing the MPL S12 title.
