Two former world champions, only one will move forward.
The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines (MPL PH) Season 16 Playoffs stage opens with a star match between two former world champions, Team Liquid PH (TLPH) and Team Falcons PH (FLCN). The two powerhouse teams had their fair share of struggles in the regular season, resulting in them dropping in the play-ins instead of the upper bracket spots.
With that said, the play-ins will only grant them one single chance to advance to the playoff stage. This means the first day will be a clash of titans, between two former world champions.

TLPH vs FLCN: A High-Stakes Clash to Open the Playoffs
The MPL PH Season 16 playoffs kick off with a play-ins showdown that feels more like a grand finals matchup. Two of the league’s most decorated teams, TLPH and FLCN, are set to clash in what promises to be an explosive start to the playoffs.

For TLPH, this season is all about maintaining their championship legacy. Coming off strong in Season 15 and their MSC 2025 victory, the squad is looking to defend their title this time around. With the M7 World Championship looming at the end of the year, the squad is determined to make another deep run, aiming to cap off 2025 as the undisputed kings of MLBB esports.

Meanwhile, Team Flacons PH enters the playoffs with a story of resilience. Their regular season was full of ups and downs as they struggled to win a single match in the first half of the season. The team suffered eight consecutive losses before finally snapping its losing streak. Instead of crumbling, the FLCN squad regrouped, refined their strategies, and clawed their way back into playoff contention.
