The country’s top MLBB teams clash in the Sibol Qualifiers for a chance to represent the Philippines at the IESF World Esports Championship 2025.
It’s time once again to raise the banner high. The race to represent the Philippines on the world stage begins with the Sibol MLBB Men’s Division National Team Qualifiers—where the country’s finest teams battle for the honor of donning the national colors at the IESF World Esports Championship 2025.
QUALIFIERS PREVIEW: Redemption, Resurgence, and Reigniting the Fire
A look back at the 2023 and 2024 SEA Games campaigns reveals just how much is at stake. After Sibol's back-to-back strong showings in previous years, the pressure is on to field a team that can go the distance—not just in Southeast Asia, but worldwide.
Here's a quick look at the contenders:
- Aurora Gaming
A team on a redemption arc. Aurora missed out on the previous Sibol IESF qualifiers, but now they’re back with a vengeance—eager to prove they belong on the big stage.
ONIC Philippines
The M6 World Champions and recent MPL Philippines Season 15 runners-up are also on the path to redemption. Despite their global title, they fell short in last year’s IESF qualifiers. Now, they’re out to reclaim their international spot under the Sibol banner.
Team Liquid PH
The reigning MPL PH S15 champions, Liquid are looking to correct last year’s stumble, where they were knocked out by Falcons during the IESF run. With a stacked lineup and fresh momentum, they’re gunning for their Sibol breakthrough.
TNC Pro Team
Dubbed the "Phoenix Rising," this could be a historic run if they win—marking their first-ever SEA Games appearance. Despite an early playoff exit in MPL S15, the hunger to bounce back is real.
Falcons AP Bren
The most battle-tested among the bunch, Falcons boast a long list of international appearances. Already tabbed to represent the Philippines for IESF, if they make it to the SEA Games again, it’s a loud statement of global dominance.
THE RISING CHALLENGERS: Hungry, Young, and Ready
Alongside the MPL giants are a wave of newer teams and promising rosters hoping to pull off a Cinderella run:
Uncle Drew Gamepact
The reigning LCP MLBB champions, they’ve been making noise in the grassroots scene and are ready to test their mettle against the country’s best.
Nine Lives
Fresh off winning the most recent championship in the Mobile Legends Development League (MDL) Philippines, this team has momentum—and something to prove.
TNC Voltes PH
Competing in the Mobile Legends Development League (MDL) Philippines, this is TNC’s developmental squad—representing the org’s next generation of talent.
Maru Esports and New Game Esports
Both are part of the growing wave of orgs breaking into the competitive scene, showing that the pipeline of Filipino MLBB talent is alive and thriving.
