  • Team Liquid stays perfect at 6-0 with commanding week 3 run in MPL PH Season 17

    Team Liquid stays perfect at 6-0 with commanding week 3 run in MPL PH Season 17

    As the MPL PH Season 17 intensifies, week 3 shows that Team Liquid shows no mercy after sweeping Smart Omega and TNC to remain unbeaten in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL).


    Week 3 felt less like a test and more like a statement, as the squad dismantled both Smart Omega and TNC with a level of control that rarely slipped. Sitting alone at 6-0, they’ve created early separation from the chasing pack, with Team Falcons trailing at 4-1 and ONIC holding a 3-2 slate.

     

    Their series against Smart Omega showcased a lineup comfortable with shifting responsibility mid-series. Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno dictated the early tone in Game 1 with a composed Leomord performance, before Alston “Sanji” Pabico took over in Game 2 with precise execution on Pharsa. 

     

    When the match tightened late, it wasn’t panic that surfaced—it was timing. Sanji’s Feathered Air Strike turned a tense skirmish into a decisive wipeout, proving that Team Liquid PH thrives when the margins are smallest.

     

    That same control carried into their clash with TNC, though it took on a different form. Instead of explosive plays, the team leaned into structure, allowing Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz and Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya to anchor the series. 

     

    Jaypee’s steady Khaleed presence and Sanford’s durable Uranus pick didn’t just win fights—they dictated how TNC could even approach the game as the result was another sweep.

    Recognition followed, with Jaypee and Sanford earning spots in the Team of the Week, while ONIC PH import Savero led the selections alongside Team Falcons’ Kyle and Flap. 

     

    Still, individual honors seem secondary to what Team Liquid PH is building—a system where any player can step into the spotlight without disrupting the whole. That balance is becoming their biggest weapon as the season progresses.

     

    As they head into Week 4 to face ONIC on April 19, Sunday, the conversation is no longer about whether Team Liquid PH can keep winning—it’s about how opponents can possibly slow them down. 

     

    With a playstyle that blends adaptability, discipline, and trust, they’re not just protecting an unbeaten record—they’re setting the pace for the entire league.

  • Ong “Aeon” Wei Sheng steers Team Liquid PH through expectations as undefeated start signals new era

    Ong “Aeon” Wei Sheng steers Team Liquid PH through expectations as undefeated start signals new era

    Team Liquid Philippines has wasted no time establishing itself as a powerhouse in MPL PH Season 17, sweeping through the first two weeks of the regular season with a flawless 4-0 record. 


    For a team that entered the season surrounded by questions, the early results have quickly shifted the conversation from doubt to dominance.

     

    At the center of this transformation is Singaporean head coach Ong Wei Sheng, better known as Aeon. Taking over one of the most scrutinized rosters in the league.

     

    The Philippines has long been regarded as the gold standard in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, having held the title of the world’s strongest region for six consecutive years.

     

     Behind that dominance is not just raw talent, but a deep pool of strategic minds—coaches whose influence has extended far beyond the region, with many being recruited internationally.

     

    For Aeon, that reputation was both a challenge and an opportunity.

     

    “As expected, I think they are all very strong. Preparing against them is not easy, even if we prepared for so long. Sometimes, in a series, we can think 45 hours of simulation, and we still are not prepared for what happened in Game 1, for example,” he said.

    Adjusting to that level of competition required more than preparation—it demanded trust in his players. And with a lineup packed with championship experience, execution became just as important as strategy.

     

    “Obviously, it’s tough. But I think we also have to credit the players. As much as the draft is important, execution is also important, so props to the team,” Aeon added.

     

    Following an offseason filled with major roster changes, Team Liquid PH faced skepticism from fans and analysts alike. 

     

    The departure of key figures from their previous campaign left many questioning whether the new lineup could live up to the organization’s high standards.

     

    But inside the team, the pressure felt different.

     

    “Pressure, not really because of what people are saying. I don’t really care what people are saying, to be honest. But pressure, as in, you know that you should be winning with these players,” Aeon explained.

     

    That mindset has become the foundation of their early run—not chasing validation, but meeting internal expectations.

     

    With momentum firmly on their side, Team Liquid PH now turns its attention to Week 3, where they will face Smart Omega on April 10 before taking on TNC Pro Team on April 11.

  • MPL PH Season 17 ushers in new era as the league kicks off on March 20

    MPL PH Season 17 ushers in new era as the league kicks off on March 20

    A new season for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines is about to begin, but this year’s edition signals something larger than the usual competitive reset.


    When Season 17 opens on March 20, the country’s longest-running professional esports league will step into a milestone moment—one defined by a new rallying call, a fresh venue, and the arrival of its first overseas player import.

     

    The upcoming season also coincides with the 10th anniversary of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, giving the Philippine league another reason to mark the occasion with a refreshed identity and bigger ambitions.

     

    For the first time, league matches will be staged at Victoria Sports Tower in Quezon City. Located along EDSA in Diliman, the venue becomes the new home of the MPL PH live competition environment beginning March 20, offering a larger stage for fans and players alike. 

     

    The regular season will run from March 20 to May 17, spanning eight weeks of competition among the Philippines’ top Mobile Legends teams. Matches will take place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with squads facing each other in a double round-robin format as they fight for playoff spots.

     

    Alongside the new venue, the league is introducing a rallying call meant to capture the spirit of Filipino competition. Rallying fans under the battle cry “Palag na ‘To!”, the 17th Season of MPL PH reflects the fearless, competitive spirit deeply rooted in Filipino gaming culture.

     

    Drawn from a familiar expression used before stepping into a match or challenge, palag embodies confidence, resilience, and the readiness to face any opponent regardless of the odds.

    The opening day will immediately test that spirit. As the season begins with a marquee matchup between Aurora Gaming and Team Liquid Philippines, two squads carrying significant international pedigree.

     

    Team Liquid Philippines enters the season as the reigning champion of the M7 World Championship, while Aurora Gaming arrives as the MLBB Mid Season Cup winner at the 2025 Esports World Cup.

     

    The matchup will also showcase a notable first for the league. Team Liquid will finally field its Indonesian import Sultan “Aeronnshikii” Muhammad, reinforcing a lineup anchored by star jungler Karl Nepomuceno.

     

    Despite the absence of Kiel “Oheb” Soriano, Team Liquid will still feature several returning players, including midlaner Alston “Sanji” Pabico, EXP laner Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya, and roamer Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz.

     

    Aurora, meanwhile, will rely on a lineup headlined by EXP laner Edward “Edward” Dapadap and jungler Jonard “Demonkite” Caranto, along with Kenneth “Yue” Tadeo, Jan “Domengkite” Del Mundo, and M6 Finals MVP Dylan “Light” Catipon.

     

    As MPL PH enters its 17th season, the league continues to represent one of the strongest competitive scenes in the global Mobile Legends ecosystem.

     

    With a new stage, fresh talent from overseas, and a rallying cry aimed at energizing its fanbase, Season 17 is shaping up to be more than just another campaign.

  • Team Liquid PH remains vigilant of changes ahead of M7 World Championships

    Team Liquid PH remains vigilant of changes ahead of M7 World Championships

    Team Liquid Philippines is approaching the upcoming Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) M7 World Championship with cautious optimism, emphasizing adjustments and preparation over past success as significant patch changes loom ahead of esports’ premier international event.

     

    Team Liquid PH is one of two Philippine teams set to compete at M7, the Mobile Legends World Championship scheduled for later this month, following their strong domestic run and SEA Games 2025 gold medal performance with the national side SIBOL.

     

    The offseason patch affected hero strength, item priorities, and team compositions, alterations that have reshaped competitive MLBB and rendered previous frameworks less reliable. 

     

    Analysts note that such adjustments can elevate certain playstyles while diminishing others, creating a dynamic landscape in which adaptability is essential.

    As reigning powerhouses on the world stage,  Philippine teams have claimed five of six M-Series world titles entering M7; the pressure is on for Team Liquid to uphold the nation’s reputation.

     

    Team Liquid’s lineup for M7 includes Kiel Calvin “Oheb” Soriano alongside Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya, Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, Alston “Sanji” Pabico, and Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz, a core that blends seasoned performers with rising talent.

     

    For Oheb, the ultimate goal is to reach the championship match, ideally setting up a Philippines vs. Philippines final against fellow MPL PH side Aurora Gaming, a repeat of one of the most compelling domestic rivalries forged during the MPL Philippines Season 16 Grand Finals.

     

    Team Liquid will open their M7 campaign against Aurora Gaming PH in the Swiss Stage before facing other top regional contenders, including powerhouse ONIC.
