The first game kicked off as the first five players of Hazel Synthesia (Light Brown) and Golden Auricnova (Gold) entered the court with high spirits. The Hazel Synthesia (Light Brown) quickly took control of the ball with fast reflexes and were the first team to have points. However, the Golden Auricnova is not to be underestimated, as they possess skilled players capable of rapidly stealing the ball from their opponents.
An untroubled game these two teams had, with a score of 12-0 for the first quarter— in favor of Hazel Synthesia (Light Brown)—and ending the last or fourth quarter with a score of 30-14, still in favor of the Hazel Synthesia (Light Brown). As the last quarter game ended, many cheered, congratulating the teams that played.
Next in line was the extreme battle between the Crimson Code (Dark Red) and Maroon Misrals (Maroon). The first five dominant players of both teams entered the court as FEPSians quietly conversed, trying to predict who would come out on top! As foreseen, the Crimson Code (Dark Red) was the first to seize control of the ball and put points on the board! Even so, the Maroon Misrals (Maroon) swiftly attempted to regain possession of the ball and reclaim the points.
The Crimson Code (Dark Red) secured the win, finishing with a 33-23 lead. It was a thrilling match for both teams as they tried to make it to the top! But, despite the scoreline, both teams put in an impressive performance in this match.
On January 13, 2025, the championship continued. The first five players of Crimson Code (Dark Red) and Hazel Synthesia (Light Brown) entered the court feeling euphoric.
As the Crowd speculates who will emerge in victory, the tension between the two teams builds. As the referee tipped off the ball, the Hazel Synthesia (Light Brown) was the first team to seize control, while Crimson Code (Dark Red) pressed hard with their defense to steal. Both teams’ audience held their breath as their winning teams shot the ball in the ring.
Marthynna Alexandria L. Sagun from the Hazel Synthesia (Light Brown) nailed a clutch two-pointer shot in the final 30 seconds, securing both the MVP title and the victory for her team!
