Reigning MPL PH champions Team Liquid PH wasted no time, advancing to the upper bracket semifinals of the Mid-Season Cup at the Esports World Cup 2025 in just 24 minutes.
How sweep it is for a statement start for Team Liquid PH.
The reigning MPL Philippines champions opened their Mid-Season Cup (MSC) campaign with a dominant 2-0 victory against Ultra Legends of Egypt at the Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Karl Gabriel "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno and Kiel "Oheb" Soriano were at the forefront of a commanding performance, pushing Team Liquid PH into the upper bracket semifinals and setting up a showdown with ONIC ID.
Using his signature assassin in Lancelot, KarlTzy delivered a stellar 7-1-8 KDA in the opening salvo that lasted only 13 minutes.
While Ultra Legends got off to a strong start in Game 2, TLPH quickly regained control after Oheb’s critical maniac kill on Harith, leading to a game-sealing wipeout in just 11 minutes.
Oheb was named MVP of that encounter, finishing with a flawless 10-1-11 KDA and sealing the victory for Team Liquid PH.
Other opening day victors included defending champions Selangor Red Giants and Mythic Seal, who defeated Virtus.Pro and Corinthians Esports, respectively.
Meanwhile, ONIC PH will kick off their MSC campaign against Aurora Türkiye later today.
