So grateful na kami na kahit paano naging 3rd place, medyo nakakahinayang lang kasi parang kaya talaga namin i-[champion],&quot; said coach Kimuel &quot;Kimo&quot; Rodis.&quot;Thank you sa Predator [League] sa pag-invite sa team namin. Malaking opportunity &#x27;to para sa growth namin as a team and as individuals. Kinulang kami, pero ita-try namin makabawi sa next Predator [League],&quot; said support player Erice &quot;Erice&quot; Guerra, reflecting on their campaign.
