The regular season of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League - Philippines (MPL PH) Season 16 has concluded with a dramatic flourish, as ONIC Philippines solidified their status as a top contender, officially securing a coveted Upper Bracket slot for the Playoffs!
In a high-stakes, final-day match against the tough-as-nails TNC Pro Team, ONIC PH displayed the resilience and clutch factor that defines championship teams, prevailing with a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
A Decisive End to the Regular Season
The final match of the Regular Season was crucial for ONIC PH. While they had already secured their spot in the overall Playoffs, an Upper Bracket berth means a massive advantage—a double-elimination lifeline that only the top seeds receive. They were in a tight race with other high-ranking teams like Team Liquid PH for the top two spots.
Facing TNC, who were fighting to improve their own playoff seeding, ONIC PH had to bring their A-game. The series was a nail-biter, forcing all three games to determine the victor. Ultimately, the coordinated execution and superior endgame control of the "Yellow Hedgehogs" shone through.
The 2-1 win pushed ONIC PH's final regular season standing high enough to lock in a top-tier seed, earning them a Round 2 bye straight into the double-elimination portion of the bracket.
Upper Bracket Advantage: The Path to the Grand Finals
Securing an Upper Bracket slot is arguably the most critical achievement of the MPL PH Regular Season. It provides two key benefits:
* Safety Net: Teams in the Upper Bracket get two chances. Should they lose their first series, they drop to the Lower Bracket and still have a chance to fight their way back to the Grand Finals.
* Fewer Matches: A direct entry into the second round means less wear-and-tear and more time to strategize, a major psychological edge heading into the intense pressure of the Playoffs.
Fans are now eager to see how ONIC PH, led by their star-studded roster, will utilize this advantage. With their decisive victory over TNC, the team has sent a clear message to the rest of the league: the King is ready to reclaim the crown.
Looking Ahead: The MPL PH S16 Playoffs
The battle for the Season 16 championship now shifts to the Playoffs stage, which is set to take place at the massive Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City. With ONIC PH firmly placed in the Upper Bracket, their road to the coveted M7 World Championship spot and the MPL PH title looks promising.
The hype is real! Filipino Mobile Legends fans can expect nothing less than explosive, high-level MLBB action as the best teams in the Philippines battle for supremacy.
#LakasNgPinas is in full effect, and ONIC PH is leading the charge!
