Team Recruit destroyed Team Arki 2 during the College of Industrial Technology Days’ Mobile Legends Championship on November 23, 2023.
Despite the glorious victory, the whole game was thrown off as Recruit was shrouded in controversy after the first game concluded. Allegedly, one of the players of Recruit is not a bonafide student of Samar State University, which would be unconstitutional under the championship’s guidelines.
Despite this, Recruit exemplified peak team synergy and mastery over the game, as they hold Arki 2 by the neck in a best-of-three game; beating 14 other teams to the championship title.
Using Wanwan during the final match, Thaddaeus was declared as the MVP of the game with a KDA of 15/4/4 allowing the team to score 28–14, achieving victory midgame.
The official intervention by Sunshine Cruz, CIT provincial governor, mandated each member of Recruit to submit their Enrollment form or Statement of Account from the SSU assessment office by 9 AM tomorrow, November 24. In the case of confirmation, Recruit will be discredited of their win.
Meanwhile, the two losing team from the semi-finals will contest once more, and the succeeding team will battle Arki 2 for the winning title.
