Team Liquid PH targets a reversal of fortunes against Selangor Red Giants OG Esports, as the MSC 2025 Grand Finals serves up another Philippines-Malaysia duel.
Team Liquid PH is just one series away from making MLBB history.
The Filipino squad will face defending champions Selangor Red Giants OG Esports of Malaysia in a best-of-seven showdown at the 2025 MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) Grand Finals on Saturday, August 2, at 7:00 p.m. (PH time).
A victory would mark the country’s first MSC crown since RSG Philippines clinched the title in 2022 and give TLPH the chance to become the fourth Philippine team to win the prestigious international tournament.
Execration (2018) and Aether Main (2021) are the other teams to conquer the tournament since its inception in 2017.
Team Liquid PH reached the championship round after defeating ONIC Indonesia behind an impressive 3-1 win.
TLPH jumped to an early 2-0 lead before dropping Game 3. However, the “Cavalry” quickly regained their composure in Game 4, dominating teamfights and rotations to secure their spot in the Grand Finals.
Standing in their way is Selangor, the defending champions who denied the Philippine bet Falcons AP Bren in last year’s MSC championship round.
The Malaysian squad went 2-1 in the group stage before surviving back-to-back five-game thrillers against RRQ Hoshi and ONIC PH in the knockout rounds.
In their semifinal clash, Selangor pulled away late in Game 5 to eliminate ONIC and keep their title defense alive.
