ArkAngel falters against Indonesia's Louvre, ends PHL's bid in MSC 2019

The Philippines' bid in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) 2019 ended after its remaining representative, ArkAngel, fell short against Indonesia's Louvre Esports in the lower bracket finals, Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Louvre outlasted ArkAngel's mid-game run in Game 2 of the best-of-three series, eventually setting up the final duel against fellow Indonesian team Onic Esports.

Unfortunately, technical difficulties marred the series which delayed the start of the game.

Prior to ArkAngel's stint in the lower bracket finals, the Philippine team dominated Vietnam's Overclockers in three games, 2-1.
