Once brothers in battle, now rivals.
It's the clash everyone had been waiting for.
Ever since Season 2 of the Basketball Weekend League (BWL), the names Hiro and Royce were spoken with respect—and a bit of unfinished business. Back then, they were a dynamic duo, leading their team all the way to the finals. They played with heart, hustle, and brotherhood. But despite the fire they brought, they fell short of the championship. That heartbreaking loss became a turning point. The offseason saw them go their separate ways, each forming a new squad, each with a hunger to prove something.
Fast forward to Season 5.
Team Royce is a powerhouse, sitting comfortably at the top with a 4-0 record. Their chemistry, defense, and fast breaks have made them nearly untouchable. Royce has evolved into a fearless leader—calm under pressure, deadly from beyond the arc, and a master of rallying his troops.
Team Hiro, not far behind, holds a solid 3-1 standing, good enough for third place. Hiro plays with relentless energy, making hustle plays that don’t show on stat sheets but win games. His leadership style is raw and emotional. He wears his heart on his sleeve—and his teammates respond with grit and fire.
Today, the former teammates face each other.

The champs defend. The underdogs fight to rise again.
The spotlight shines bright on today’s matchup in the Basketball Weekend League. On one side: the reigning kings. On the other: a squad hungry to reclaim their momentum.
Team Carlo, the defending Season 4 champions, are off to a hot start in Season 5, sitting at the #2 seed with an undefeated 3-0 record. While some familiar faces from last year remain, Carlo brought in fresh talent to strengthen their core. The result? A well-balanced squad with experience, chemistry, and the confidence of a team that knows how to win when it matters most.
Team Ranzel, meanwhile, came into the season with fire—opening with a dominant win that turned heads. But since then, the path has been rocky. A series of tough losses have dropped their momentum and morale. Today, they’re not just fighting for a win—they’re fighting for rhythm, confidence, and their place in the standings.
The stakes are clear.
For Team Carlo, it’s about staying perfect, protecting their throne, and proving that last season was no fluke.
For Team Ranzel, it’s about bouncing back—reminding the league that one rocky stretch doesn’t define a team’s story.

Two struggling teams. One must rise.
As the race toward the BWL Season 5 playoffs heats up, every game becomes a must-win—especially for teams fighting from the bottom half of the standings.
This weekend, Team Bob (1-3) and Team Markee (1-2) face off in a crucial matchup. Both teams are coming off painful losses last week, and now they’re hungry for redemption. For Team Bob, it’s a shot at survival. For Team Markee, it’s a chance to stabilize and build momentum.
Both teams have talent. Both have heart.
But only one will walk away with their second win—and a step closer to climbing the standings.
