CABAL ONLINE 5V5 CARNAGE
First in the line of tournaments of the day was the final match for the Cabal Online 5v5 Carnage championship between Wagkamainis and YesPogi. These two have been at each other's throats for the past two years with neither getting a clear advantage. But this all ended with the final showdown at the Playpark All-Stars 2018 Finals. With the veteran voices of Vill, Baemax, and Badz on the casting team, the best-of-5 set was one-sided at the get-go. Team YesPogi initially gained momentum with a fast win over Wagkamainis in the first match; and they never looked back since. Dominating the battlefield with quick kills in the first minute, YesPogi double teamed remaining members and picking them off one-by-one afterwards. With a final score of 3-0, Dan, Dylan, Jason, Emman and Saki ended their two-year dry spell and walked away the newest 5V5 Carnage champions and Cabal Online's Team Philippines.

AUDITION NEXT LEVEL SOUTHEAST ASIA CHAMPIONSHIP
The first ever Audition Southeast Asia Championship hosted by the Philippines surprised fans as the teams gave the crowd breath-taking matches. At stake in the competition were the individual and the team categories.
In the individual category, the contenders were Wangg from Singapore-Malaysia, MyMind from Thailand, and Kyoo and Xhao from Philippines. This category was mainly dominated by Singapore-Malaysia and Thailand, with the Filipino players fought persistently but to no avail. Wangg gave MyMind a run for his money in bursts throughout the songs but MyMindstayed strong in his lead and ended up winning the individual category.
However, the closing the night for Audition Next Level was the Team category. The four teams who competed were Banana Brothers from Thailand, 3Musketeers from Singapore-Malaysia, and Army and SabadoBoyz from Philippines. In the final four, 3Musketeers went up against SabadoBoyz, while Banana Brothers faced Army. Every match was as exciting as the next. The leads kept changing hands throughout all the songs. No team could relax as every missed step led to a huge difference in team points. Despite the tough competition from both teams, Banana Brothers and SabadoBoyz were knocked out early on. Banana Brothers put up a tough match against Army and almost defeating them but narrowly missed the victory in the last few second ending the set with a 2-1 score in favor of Army. What followed were close matches between 3Musketeers and Army. Points were seemingly on a seesaw as both teams as the lead kept changing hands. Every time Army took the lead, the Skydome was filled with loud-cheers from the Pinoy crowd. The support seemed effective as Army took a solid lead in the last song with Joms dominating the scoreboard and the trio became the first Southeast Asia champions.

In the end, they are immensely grateful for the opportunity and the support.
