The MCFASolver Tech Centrale is back on top of the PBA 3x3 circuit, ruling Leg 2 of the PBA 3x3 Third Conference Season 3.

The Lubao, Pampanga-based team took home the win after fighting off the San Miguel Beermen in the finale Tuesday, 19-17.

MCFASolver is composed of Brandon Ramirez, Terrence Tumalip, Louie Vigil, and Yutien Andrada.

In the Finals, the duo of Ramirez and Vigil pounced on the Beermen to create the much-needed separation that they ultimately needed to secure the title and the P100,000 champion cash prize.

En route to the championship game, MCFASolver defeated Terrafirma 3x3 in the quarterfinals, 21-16. The Tech Centrale then escaped the Cavitex Braves in the semifinals, 21-19.

MCFASolver is proving to be the team to beat in this Third Conference, finishing in the top-2 of the first two legs. The team's Leg 2 win is an overdue follow up to their initial PBA 3x3 win, which came in Leg 4 of the PBA 3x3 Season 3 Second Conference.

The Cavitex Braves, meanwhile, pulled off a thrilling 20-19 victory over the Blackwater Smooth Razor to finish third in Leg 2.
