RP places 4th in WarRock World Championship

By Alex Villafania, hackenslash Reporter INQUIRER.net TEAM Baguio Clan Uno (BC1), the Philippine representative to the WarRock World Championship finals in South Korea, took fourth place after a three-round loss against the Japanese team. BC1 narrowly lost against Poland in an earlier elimination match with a 4-3 scorecard. BC1 is composed Walter Mamaril, Aquilino Soyosa, John Paul Naputo and Dexter de Castro. Their fifth member was Edgardo Abiera Jr., originally from Team Ambush, who replaced BC1’s Melvin Bares due to passport problems. Poland's Team Hussars eventually took second place in the competition while the top spot was taken by the US team, AniMoSity. The event was documented by WarRock Philippines community manager John “Johnny Blaze” Nadal who coached BC1 in South Korea. His blog detailed most of the team's activities in South Korea.
