RSG Philippines eliminated their Singaporean counterparts RSG SG in the One Esports Mobile Legends Professional League Invitational (MPLI) following a 2-0 sweep, Wednesday.

• Mobile Legends: RSG’s Demonkite named MPL Season 8 top rookie

The Philippines' kingslayers were dominant in Game 1, as MPL Season 8 top rookie Jonard Cedrix "Demonkite" Caranto banked on good early farming with his Balmond to draw 9 kills, four of which came from a "Maniac" halfway through the salvo to draw first blood.

RSG PH banked on their signature aggressiveness anew, with Demonkite's Karina going on a frenzy in the early game and EMMAN's Claude adding insult to injury towards the late game.

A triple kill courtesy of EMMAN's Claude secured the series for RSG Philippines.

RSG Singapore were kept to 6 kills, compared to the 30 kills their Filipino counterparts drew throughout the series.

It was Demonkite who took the MVP recognitions for Game 1 with his Balmond. Meanwhile, EMMAN shone through with his Claude for the MVP recognition in Game 2.

RSG PH will face Echo PH in their next game.
