Neon Esports upset TNC Predator, 2-1 | BTS Pro Series S2 SEA Playoffs
In a rather unexpected turn of events, Neon Esports toppled the top dog TNC Predator in the lower bracket of the BTS Pro Series Season 2 – SEA.
The Filipino teams clashed in the lower bracket in a bo3 match, both in danger of falling off the league. It was a do-or-die series.
Neon Esports is one of the rising esports team hailing in the Philippines. The team was already competing in many Tier 2 competitions and Major qualifiers.
They first had a start in the upper bracket of the league, but not long after BOOM Esports sent them to the lower bracket to fight TNC Predator.

The pressure was on for TNC as Neon Esports took game 1 with Andrei “skem” Ong carrying a very fat Ursa. Game 1 lasted for almost an hour, with both teams making careful clashes back and forth.
The game weighed heavily on TNC, as they eventually take game 2. However, Neon Esports’ Dazzle by Rafael “Rappy” Sicat Palo stepped up in game 3, which was key to winning lanes. Dazzle pushed through the top lane while easily killing heroes in the way.
The BTS Pro Series Season 2 – Southeast Asia will continue at 12:00 SGT today. Neon Esports will be facing Fnatic in the lower bracket at 15:00 SGT.
