MANILA\u2014EG romped Newbee, 3-1, in the finals of the Manila Masters at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The American side bounced back from their 0-2 defeat to the Chinese side in the Upper Bracket Finals on Friday night in style to walk away US0,000 (around PHP12.25 million) richer.<\/p>\n

Sumail Hassan was a force to reckon with in the opener as his Outworld Devourer was just too much for Newbee.<\/p>\n

Damien Chok then proved that EG underestimated his Naga Siren gameplay as he, one of the best players to use the hero, provided a great offlane play that helped Xu Han’s Ursa rule Game 2 to force the 1-1 deadlock.<\/p>\n

EG then quickly went on the offensive early into Game 3 as Hassan’s Ember Spirit got the better of Song Chun’s Death Prophet, taking a 15-6 kill lead.<\/p>\n

But Xu, now playing Lifestealer, turned the game around midway through as he made 12 unanswered kills and put EG’s backs against the wall.<\/p>\n

Artour Babaev, who struggled for most parts of Game 3, then connected a breakthrough, snapping Xu’s run that eventually sparked the endgame attack even as EG skipper Andreas Nielsen, playing Warlock, made a very double golem summoning that completed the comeback.<\/p>\n

Newbee let Hassan go for Ember again in Game 4, and he made his opponents pay by carrying the fight for EG en route to the championship.<\/p>\n
