The Sibol national team’s very first participation in the 19th Asian Games ended in a sour note as the PH esports contingent exited empty-handed after its last podium hope in Dota 2 and Player’s Unknown Battleground Mobile bowed out of contention on Friday, Sept. 29.
Both Sibol teams suffered early exits in the quadrennial meet with the Dota 2 team splitting its assignments in the group stage while the PUBG team settling for a fourth place finish in its group in the knockout phase.
The medal hopes for the team deemed to be the delegation’s strongest chance of landing a podium, however, hit a snag after falling to Kyrgyzstan in the second game.
