On Saturday, the Northern Lights edged out Onic, 2-1, to start the weekend on a high note.

A lrod fight decided Game 1 as Jan “Domengkite” Delmundo’s Wanwan spearheaded an Onic wipeout that allowed Aurora to draw first blood.

ONIC retaliated in Game 2 with King “K1NGKONG” Perez leading the charge using Joy to grab the Lord and the second game.

Domengkite turned things around in the decisive game three after a triple kill in the 14th minute sealed the series for Aurora.

Aurora then swept second-seeded Team Liquid, 2-0, to become the first team to reach the playoffs this season.

In Game 1, it was all Aurora as they secured the 1-0 lead with a blowout of 19-2 kill score, led by Dylan “Light” Catipon, who tallied 4 kills and 11 assists.

Demonkite continued his hot form alongside Edward “Edward” Dapadap to finish off Team Liquid and seal the perfect weekend.

Aurora will seek to extend their win streak against Twisted Minds and TNC next weekend at the same venue.
