The emphatic victory not only secures their second consecutive (back-to-back) MPL PH title but also keeps their incredible "Golden Road" dream alive, cementing their status as one of the most successful teams in the region.
A Grand Finals Masterclass: The 4-0 Decimation
Team Liquid PH, composed of legendary veterans and new-generation stars, delivered a performance that was nothing short of a masterpiece, completely neutralizing the Regular Season's top-performing team, Aurora Gaming (RORA).
Aurora Gaming entered the Grand Finals with an impressive track record, having overcome TLPH in the Upper Bracket Finals and riding a massive 15-game winning streak. However, once the championship was on the line, the might of Team Liquid PH was undeniable.
* Game 1 & 2 Dominance: TLPH started strong, with incredible synergy and execution. Their objective control and calculated aggression prevented RORA's late-game compositions from ever coming online.
* Near-Flawless Game 3: The momentum continued as TLPH steamrolled to a decisive win, establishing a massive gold lead and putting the series at a critical 3-0 match point.
* The Signature Finish: In the final game, while Aurora Gaming put up a valiant fight, a well-timed, signature backdoor play by Mid Laner Alston "Sanji" Pabico on Luo Yi down the bottom lane caught Aurora off-guard.
This crucial play was the championship clincher, securing the 4-0 sweep and the coveted trophy.
👑 Jaypee: The Unsung Hero Claims Finals MVP
While the entire squad shone, it was Roamer Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz who earned the prestigious Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
Jaypee's phenomenal utility and playmaking on tank heroes, including his standout performance on Hilda in the final game, proved to be the ultimate difference-maker. His consistent initiation and perfect protection for his core players stifled Aurora Gaming’s offenses and created countless opportunities for his team. This marks a historic achievement for Jaypee, as he becomes the first-ever dedicated tank player in MPL PH history to claim the Finals MVP title twice.
🌟 Back-to-Back Glory and the Golden Road
With this Season 16 win following their Season 15 championship, Team Liquid PH becomes only the third organization in MPL PH history to achieve back-to-back titles, joining the ranks of Sunsparks and Blacklist International.
Furthermore, this victory means TLPH remains on the "Golden Road"—the quest to win all four major Mobile Legends: Bang Bang tournaments in a single competitive year (which includes the MSC, two MPL seasons, and the M-Series World Championship).
Both Team Liquid PH and Aurora Gaming, as the Grand Finals participants, have secured their slots to represent the Philippines in the upcoming M7 World Championship in January.
The Reign Continues
The MPL PH Season 16 Grand Finals was a fitting climax to an intense season. Team Liquid PH displayed championship poise, tactical depth, and unshakeable team chemistry when it mattered most. The Cavalry's reign atop the Philippine MLBB scene is firmly established, and the world awaits their performance on the global stage.
