6JMS Darty Habitz was crowned co-ed division Bud Light Cup champion of the 2025 SEDA Bud Light Dart League on Saturday after showcasing clinical precision and unwavering teamwork in a dominant 8–2 victory over Tom Yum Dartz of War in the finals at 6JMS Sports Bar.
The night began with Dartz of War on the attack, as Tahannie Dela Torre and Jamata Castro claimed both games of the opening Singles (ladies only) Half-It set to grab an early 2–0 lead.
Although Dartz of War battled valiantly to reach the grand stage, they ultimately had no answer for the relentless scoring and composure of Darty Habitz, as those early wins proved to be their lone highlight of the night.
Darty Habitz seized full control from there, opening with a clean four-win sweep in the Partners Regular Cricket set led by Russ “Mr. Pogi” Cruz and Kash “small kine” Kukkun, Bobby Castro and Emy Oiterong, and Greg “Gkawa” Iskawa and Frances Magofna. The chemistry between the pairs was evident, as they extended their dominance with another three-win sweep in the ensuing Partners 501 set to widen the gap to 6–2.
Darty Habitz then sealed the victory in the 301 Double In/Double Out set, where Cruz and Iskawa defeated Dartz of War’s James “Mwahne” Welley and Chris “No Luv” Yug to claim the final two wins. The result left the Team 1101 set untouched, completing the 8–2 triumph and securing the co-ed division Bud Light Cup title.
In addition to their playoff success, Darty Habitz also captured the regular season title with a record of 264 wins and 126 losses.
The Darty Habitz roster includes Russ “Mr. Pogi” Cruz, Jarvin “Stinger” Mendiola, Bobby Castro, Kash “Small Kine” Kukkun, Henry “Savage” Sablan, Greg “Gkawa” Iskawa, Frances Magofna, Jayda Babauta, Becky Repeki, Hector “Pali” Efraim, and Emy Oiterong.
