The Manila and Hong Kong-based squad finally managed to find its rhythm as it swept SMG, 2-0, after a disappointing loss against Blacklist International last January 16.

• DOTA: Blacklist extends DPC win streak with reverse sweep vs Talon

Talon kept Team SMG at bay in Game 1 with SMG only getting 18 kills in the entire 37-minute gameplay. Talon registered 45 kills in the whole match.

Team SMG's attempt to make a comeback in Game 2 was eventually shattered as Talon delivered another convincing win, recording another 45-team kill stat in 31 minutes against SMG's nine kills.

SMG was hoping to extend its winning momentum after its first best-of-3 win last January 16 against Fnatic.
