Here’s a quick summary of the Alter Ego and TLPH match from Day 5 of the M7 World Championship Knockout Stage.
Alter Ego vs TLPH: M7 Knockout Stage Day 5 Recap
Game 1
Alter Ego dominated the first game, quickly gaining a significant advantage with a 14-5 kill lead within the first eight minutes. Sanford Vinuya, playing Khaleed in the EXP lane, didn’t perform as well with this unconventional pick, struggling to make a difference in the game.
Yazukee played exceptionally well on Joy, putting KarlTzy’s Baxia at a major disadvantage and forcing him to concede valuable resources. Alter Ego kept the pressure on, consistently attacking TLPH’s jungle and preventing them from getting back into the game. The match ended swiftly and decisively, with Alter Ego winning in just 15 minutes with a significant lead of 28 to 12 in kills.
Game 2
In Game 2, TLPH went with their usual strategy, choosing Jaypee Gonzales to play as Chip and Alston Pabico as Luo Yi, creating a team focused on quick teleportation. Although Alter Ego got some early advantages, the game became more balanced once both teams reached Level 4.
Although TLPH had better control of the map, Alter Ego stayed competitive by moving around quickly and keeping track of enemy positions. Both teams won small fights throughout the game, but TLPH consistently took the more important objectives, giving them a lead in gold. Around the 10-minute mark, TLPH completely wiped out Alter Ego, breaking their rhythm. After that, Alter Ego began to fall behind, and TLPH easily won the second round.
Game 3
Both teams chose to play with strategies focused on the late game in the third match, resulting in constant fighting early on as they competed for important resources. Around the 8-minute point, KarlTzy made a key play, getting three quick kills with Leomord, which gave TLPH a 2,000 gold advantage.
Alter Ego briefly responded with a clever play to eliminate four opponents, but KarlTzy quickly countered with a triple kill at the 11-minute mark, leading to a complete team victory for TLPH. This allowed TLPH to easily take control of the Lord. Alter Ego’s constant attacks ultimately backfired, leaving them with fewer resources and losing control of the map. Unable to fight back effectively, Alter Ego conceded, and TLPH secured a decisive victory.
Game 4
Okay, so Alter Ego really needed to win in Game 4, and they came out swinging! Hijumee, as always, played Pharsa – it’s totally his hero – and Nino went with Sora. Honestly, TLPH just couldn’t break through their team fights; Alter Ego had way too much control and they couldn’t find any good opportunities to attack. It was tough to watch!
Kiel “Oheb” Soriano was caught out of position multiple times while playing Claude, which made it harder for TLPH to make plays. By 8 minutes into the game, Alter Ego had a significant gold advantage of 8,000 and was easily taking objectives all over the map. TLPH tried to steal Alter Ego’s Lord at the 10-minute mark, but it failed, putting them at an even greater disadvantage. Realizing they were losing, Alter Ego went all-in, secured the win, and forced a final, deciding fifth game.
Game 5
Game 5 saw both teams playing very carefully, as neither wanted to make a crucial error that would eliminate them from the tournament. Yazukee chose a jungle champion named Uranus, and TLPH built a team that didn’t rely on traditional ranged damage dealers.
Alter Ego started to dominate the game, consistently putting TLPH at a disadvantage. By 16 minutes, Hijumee on Zhuxin was incredibly powerful. Though TLPH defended their base well, Alter Ego finally achieved a complete team wipe at 19 minutes. They quickly capitalized on this, finished the game, and ended TLPH’s run in the competition.
