University of the East defied odds and stunned UST, 2-0, in the finals to capture the first-ever UAAP Esports Mobile Legends: Bang Bang crown Wednesday, Aug. 21, at Hyundai Hall, Arete Ateneo in Quezon City.
Led by Ariel Dolar, the Zenith Warriors displayed steely nerves in two games to complete their improbable run over the title favorites Teletigers, who were unscathed heading into the finals.
Prior to its title win, UE shrugged off its shaky performance in the preliminaries, finishing with a 1-1-1 win-loss-draw card then pulled off an upset against the undefeated FEU, 2-1, via reverse sweep in the semifinals. "Sobrang sarap sa feeling kasi nareunite kami pong players saka coach sa team,” said Sampang. “Di ko na talaga maexplain yung nararamdaman ko, naiyak na lang talaga ako."
