PNC Archon Esports Shatters 'Playoffs Curse,' Captures realme Regional Wars Championship

Following a rigorous series of elimination matches, the realme Regional Wars: Campus Edition concluded with a dramatic Grand Finals, crowning PNC Archon Esports as the undisputed champions. Luzon-based Squad showcased resiliency,  strategy, and exceptional teamwork, defeating Mindanao’s Lite EOS in a 3-0 sweep of the best-of-five series.

PNC Archon Esports’ victory not only secured them the prestigious title but also earned them a coveted slot in the Philippine Collegiate Championship (PCC) group stages, giving them a chance to qualify for the PCC National League Grand Finals at the Campus Playfest 2025 on December 7–8. 

Game Breakdown: Penalty, Aggression, and Clutch Defense

The series began with PNC Archon immediately gaining an edge in Game 1, which was awarded to them after Lite EOS received a penalty from the tournament administrators for a rulebook violation. This early advantage fueled their momentum into Game 2, where PNC immediately adopted an aggressive stance. They dominated key objectives, including the turtle, and secured early kills to build a strong Gold lead, ultimately leading to a quick win. 

The final match proved to be the most intense. Lite EOS, fighting to stay alive, nearly breached PNC’s base after a devastating Maniac by Kylezuu. However, a heroic base defense anchored by Karll (Harith) kept the final base turret standing. Seizing the narrow opening, PNC Archon regrouped and executed a crucial Lord steal, thanks to the well-timed utility of Krema’s Gatotkaca ultimate. This massive momentum swing allowed PNC to launch a final, clean siege and secure the series.  

The realme Regional Wars: Campus Edition tournament series was made possible with the support of Converge, whose high-speed, reliable network ensured smooth, uninterrupted matches. 

Finals MVP and Prize Recognition

For their pivotal roles, Karll was named Match 3 MVP with an 8-2-8 KDA and 89% kill participation, while the overall Finals MVP title was awarded to Krema. PNC Archon will take home P100,000 in cash plus a realme 15 Pro 5G, while Krema receives P50,000 in realme products as Finals MVP. 

Lite EOS and Vanguard Esports T1 received P30,000 and P20,000, respectively, for their runner-up finishes. 

Ending the 'Curse': A New Beginning

The victory was particularly memorable for the team, as Krema revealed in a post-match interview: "We have been together for a long time, but we always felt cursed in the playoffs – it was either a reverse-sweep in the first round or a total zero finish. This is our first time ever reaching the finals, and even securing the championship title." For PNC Archon Esports, this victory marks a significant breakthrough. "We didn't expect to win, but this is just the beginning for us," Krema stated. "We will continue to join every tournament available."

PNC will face the qualified teams in the PCC National League Group Stages for a chance to advance to the PCC National League Grand Finals at Campus Playfest 2025 on December 7-8 at the MOA Arena Music Hall. The realme 15 Pro 5G will serve as the official gaming phone for the event. Fans are invited to watch the action live and cheer for their favorite team.

For fans upgrading to the realme 15 Pro 5G, every purchase comes with FREE TechLife Wireless Earbuds X worth PHP 1,699. Buyers will also have an exclusive chance to win premium prizes, including a realme GT 7T (12GB+256GB), a realme Pad X Wi-Fi, and a travel-for-two escape to Thailand or Vietnam.
