That style helps Vy to win absolute in the first half.
At the end of the first half with the advantage of 5/5 assessment of score 10-9, Vy continued to maintain that gameplay. Legaspi changed the approach and approaching Vy, but her efforts were unsuccessful. The second half ended with another 5/5 victory of September of Vy, and this did not change when the last half ended.
