Trailing by 4,000 gold, Omega managed to pull themselves back into the game briefly as Andrew Lew "Andoryuuu" Flora stole the lord from under ECHO's noses. But ECHO quickly flipped the switches after a much-needed Iron Hook by Jaypee "Jaypee" Dela Cruz on Joshua "Ch4knu" Mangilog during a teamfight, which resulted in them dismantling Omega within 20 minutes of play. ECHO will face TNC Pro Team on Saturday, while Omega will have a clash of their own with the Phoenix Army on Sunday.
