The momentum only intensified in Game 3, as Aurora’s core trio — Kenneth Carl “Yue” Tadeo, Jan Dominic “Domengkite” Delmundo, and Jonard Cedrix “DemonKite” Caranto — dictated the tempo. Crisp teamfights and disciplined objective control pushed Alter Ego to the brink.

By Game 4, the outcome felt inevitable. Aurora executed their cleanest rotations of the night, closing the series in decisive fashion to complete the sweep and secure the world championship.

“It was all about trust and teamwork,” Light said following the match, after being named Finals MVP for his leadership and clutch initiations throughout the series.
