Team James and Team Phil Revealed

After weeks of voting and competitive team campaigning, Team James and Team Phil rosters were officially decided (with a dash of banter between the brothers, of couse) last April 30 at Hyve.

Here’s what happened during the draft: Clear Dream Match draft consisted of four rounds. Garnering more than 2 million points online, Team Phil was awarded the first draft pick then after, James and Phil took turns in selecting their top five.

The second round was the amateur selection, where Team James and Team Phil, together with their co-captains Nate Burkey and Carlie De Murga selected their picks from the top 6 amateurs.

In the third round, the brothers drew lots to complete their roster. Then in the last round, the brothers had wild card picks. To stir things up, Team James was given an extra wild card pick for winning last year’s Clear Dream Match.

The biggest headline, however, was that online fan engagement would still continue until May 25. The Team with the highest points by May 26 will get the privilege of selecting the Manchester United legend (Andy Cole or Paul Scholes) they want on their team.

With the teams set, the battle for Clear Supremacy inches closer to completion. The Clear Dream Match will be on June 7th at the University of Makati football grounds. Tickets are sold in all SM ticket outlets starting May 1.
