Karl Gabriel \u201cKarlTzy\u201d Nepomuceno led the demolition job, putting together nine kills, one death, and seven assists across two games on Paquito.<\/p>\n
KarlTzy runs through ONIC<\/h4>\n
KarlTzy wasted no time making his presence felt in Game 1. His Paquito combo caught King Cyric \u201cK1NGKONG\u201d Perez and Clayton \u201cSavero\u201d Kuswanto at the same time, deleting both ONIC stars and giving TLPH another opening to tighten its grip on the game.<\/p>\n
The Cavalry never let ONIC recover, closing out the opener before quickly repeating the performance in Game 2.<\/p>\n
KarlTzy continued his rampage, helping TLPH maintain complete control while ONIC struggled to find even a single kill.<\/p>\n
That kill finally came at the very end of the series. KarlTzy dove deep into ONIC\u2019s base looking to take down two more players before K1NGKONG\u2019s Hirara finally brought him down. It was ONIC\u2019s lone kill across the entire 24-minute series.<\/p>\n

KarlTzy was not the only Cavalry player running the show.<\/p>\n
Alston \u201cSanji\u201d Pabico and veteran roamer Jaypee \u201cJaypee\u201d dela Cruz gave ONIC almost nothing to work with throughout the sweep.<\/p>\n
Sanji finished the series with six kills and nine assists without dying once, while Jaypee contributed two kills and 14 assists. Together, the TLPH mid-roam duo helped maintain the pressure around the map and gave KarlTzy the space to repeatedly find openings.<\/p>\n
ONIC, meanwhile, never established enough momentum to threaten a comeback.<\/p>\n The sweep sends TLPH into the second half of Season 18 with a 6-1 match record and a league-best +11 game differential.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/6P2A6155-1024x682.webp\")
