Out
of thousands of participants hailing across the nation, Karlo Rosales (also
known as KE Rosales) emerged on top as the champion of the NBA 2K18 Philippine
Tournament held last December 1, 2017 at the Power Mac Center Spotlight in
Circuit, Makati after a disappointing start.
From
his early semifinals match loss, Rosales was able to redeem himself in the
bracket-style gaming tourney by powering through the loser's bracket all the
way to the finals against the undefeated Philippe Herrero IV (also known as PBE
Herrero).
The
best-of-three finals was a tightly contested one as Herrero has one win away
from not only securing the championship but also assuring his undefeated streak
throughout the tournament. However, Rosales overwhelmed Herrero in the first
round forcing a double over time and eventually taking the first win. In the
second round, Herrero put up a good fight regardless of his fatigue but Rosales
took the advantage and defeated Herrero in impressively dominant fashion to
take home the win and the championship.
