The Underdogs' Uprising Continues - MPL PH Season 9 Week 3

ECHO once again roared loud and proud with their stellar performance, closing week 2 with a total of 4 wins with no match loss. Living up to their moniker "Superteam," this underdog has already proven that they are a force to reckon with this season. This week, they will face RSG which also remains unbeatable with a record of 3-0 match standing.

On the other hand, the unexpected darkhorse, RSG has built a roster that believed in finding their teamwork over time, which helped them become true title contenders this season. The Kingslayers have found their chemistry as shown in their performance, but will this be enough to overcome the superteam formula in this week's offline matches?
