𝐄-𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 | Valiant Eagles Soar to CODM Glory, Clinch 2025 Cordian Olympics Championship

Sacred Heart College of Lucena City, Inc. (SHC) β€” Precision, composure, and tactical discipline defined the Call of Duty: Mobile (CODM) tournament at the 2025 Cordian Olympics as the Valiant Eagles emerged as champions following a hard-fought finals victory over the Eclipsing Bakunawas on Tuesday afternoon.

The championship series capped an intense day of esports competition at SHC, beginning with two tightly contested semifinal matchups that showcased the growing depth and competitiveness of collegiate esports within the institution.

The Valiant Eagles booked their place in the semifinals after a commanding performance against the Mystic Stingers, winning the best-of-three series, 2–0, in the Search and Destroy game mode. Displaying sharp map awareness and disciplined ex*****on, the Eagles controlled the pace early and never relinquished momentum.

Both matches were decided through well-timed bomb defusals, underscoring the team’s defensive coordination and communication. Rather than relying solely on eliminations, the Eagles capitalized on objective-based play, dismantling the Mystic Stingers’ setups and closing out rounds with clinical efficiency.

On the opposite side of the bracket, the Eclipsing Bakunawas carved their own path to the semifinals with a 2–1 victory over the Soaring Hawks in another Search and Destroy showdown. The matchup evolved into a tactical chess match, with both teams trading rounds through contrasting playstyles.

The Bakunawas leaned heavily on area-of-effect (AoE) weapons, utilizing grenades and smoke bombs to control chokepoints and disrupt enemy sightlines. This aggressive zoning strategy countered the Hawks’ long-range sniping approach, forcing close-quarters engagements where the Bakunawas thrived.

Despite the back-and-forth nature of the series, the Bakunawas’ adaptability proved decisive in the final game, allowing them to edge out the Soaring Hawks and advance to the championship round.

The much-anticipated finals pitted the methodical Valiant Eagles against the explosive Eclipsing Bakunawas in a best-of-three series that lived up to expectations. Both teams adopted an aggressive mindset, prioritizing early eliminations over immediate bomb plants and defusals, resulting in fast-paced and high-stakes rounds.

The Bakunawas struck first with relentless pressure, but the Eagles responded with rotations and clutch plays to even the series. The deciding third match tested both teams’ composure, particularly when the Bakunawas launched a late-game ambush that threatened to swing momentum in their favor.

The Valiant Eagles held their ground. Capitalizing on key picks and capital errors from their opponents, they executed a decisive sequence that sealed the match, 2–1, and crowned them CODM champions of the 2025 Cordian Olympics.

Both teams traded mid-range jumpers and sharp passes, with the Eagles showing early signs of aggressive press defense to challenge the Hawks’ rhythm.

A brief second-quarter stoppage due to a slippery, rain-soaked court didn’t slow the action. The Hawks returned firing with tight ball movement, steals, and fast breaks, while the Eagles executed sharp pick-and-roll plays to cut the gap to 11–10 by the third quarter, forcing a breath-taking showdown. In the final quarter, both teams went basket-for-basket, with the Hawks hitting key layups and contesting every shot, their rotations and on-ball defense keeping the Eagles at bay.

No. 15 Alquiros earned MVP honors, tallying 8 points and thrilling fans with blazing drives to the hoop, clutch rebounds, and smart defensive rotations, all while keeping her composure in the tense final minutes.

The turning point came late in the fourth quarter. The Eagles, trailing by just three, increased full-court pressure, forcing multiple turnovers. The Hawks responded with controlled possessions, crisp passing, and high-percentage shots, stopping the Eagles’ momentum and sealing the championship.

Reflecting on the game, No. 18 Melic of the Eagles said, β€œMasyadong nakakakaba at hindi namin in-expect na makakapasok kami ng championship,” highlighting the thrill and pride of their unexpected run to the finals.

Hawks’ MVP Alquiros praised her teammates, saying, β€œFrom the very beginning, we were determined to win the championship and gave it our all. I couldn’t have achieved this without the support of my team.”

With Nursing Bakunawa taking last year’s title, the Hawks’ victory marks a fresh start, earning them their first women’s basketball championship in this year’s intramurals and establishing them as a rising powerhouse in SHC women’s basketball.
