Many fans worldwide are familiar with the name Team Liquid. Since its origins, it has become one of the most popular organizations in the world. Within MLBB Esports, there are two primary rosters: one for MPL Philippines and another for MPL Indonesia. Their MPL Philippines roster was formed in 2024. In their first event, they won the MPL Philippines Season 13 and finished third during MLBB Mid-Season Cup 2024.
During this time, they were a tad bit overshadowed by their Indonesian counterpart as they had finished second in the M6 World Championship, which Team Liquid PH didn’t qualify for.
For MPL Philippines Season 15, they made some changes with John “Perkz” Sumawan and Kiel Calvin” Oheb” Q.Soriano joining the roster.

The M6 World Championship was one that Team Liquid PH failed to qualify for. This was due to their bad performance during the MPL Philippines Season 14. Around the same time, ONIC Philippines was on a roll that no one expected. They won MPL Philippines Season 14, then followed it up by becoming the champions of the M6 World Championship. In 2025, this run of form continued as the team went on to win the Snapdragon Pro Series Season 6 APAC – Challenge Finals and the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series: Mobile Masters 2025.
While their international form was incredible, their regional form wasn’t the best. During the group stage, they finished in third place, as a result of which they didn’t receive a bye. Instead, they defeated every single team they faced in the upper bracket to qualify for the grand finals. Thus, the grand finals were a clash between two teams that are currently the best in MLBB esports.
The grand finals of MLBB MPL Philippines Season 15 were a best-of-7 series. Team Liquid PH started the series strong, winning the first game. ONIC Philippines, being the mentality monsters they are, won the next two matches consecutively.
Team Liquid PH weren’t going to give up their chance to hold the trophy and won the next game in under 15 minutes. Team Liquid PH won game 5H in the longest match of the series, lasting around 27 minutes.
With ONIC Philippines being one game away from losing the match, they won game 6 in 14 minutes, taking us to the final map.
