Last Saturday, May 31, I was at the Robinson’s Galleria together with GM Chastity, GM Cassiel and the rest of the RO team for an exhibition match between 2008 RPC defending champions, Bozanian Beastfighter and Telios.

This is a grudge match and both were willing to set the record straight. Matira ang matibay, ika nga!

The Robinson’s event also featured raffles, a headgear contest, a cosplay presentation by the Frost Jokers led of course by RO vet and idol Master Diwa.

I had the honor of being asked to assist in commentating for the game proper between Boza and Telios. It was basically a race to 3 (or best of five). More on the match and a photo essay after the jump

Match Summary:

It was the same throughout all 3 games. Boza was on the aggressive, planting in their LPs and barraging the enemy with SG while patiently waiting for the perfect moment for an Asura. It the second game, they managed to “corner” the enemy and limit their movement. Telios’ movement was somewhat restricted since they can’t flank. Boza again waited for the opportunity to take away the vulnerable characters like the Priest and the Champ. Once done, it was all “GG”.

Game over! Boza wins 3-0.

Congrats to Boza for the great win and also props to Telios for an exciting and well-fought match! I hope that we see the same kind of discipline and intensity for the RWC 2008. I’m sure we’d all like to see our country emerge as the champions, right?

Meanwhile, here are some more pics from the event. Enjoy!
