Blacklist International, BOOM Esports, ACT, and Elevate battle for the PKL Fall Crown and the top seed to KIC 2025!
The Philippines Kings League (PKL) Fall 2025 season has reached its thrilling climax, with the highly anticipated Playoffs set to explode at the Trinoma Activity Center in Quezon City from October 10-12, 2025.
After a grueling Regular Season, four powerhouse teams remain in the running for the coveted PKL Fall crown: Blacklist International (BLCK), BOOM Esports (BOOM), ACT Esports Club (ACT), and Elevate (ELV). The stakes are monumental, as these four teams have not only secured a prize pool share from the $60,000 USD total but have also earned a golden ticket to the global stage: the Honor of Kings International Championship (KIC) 2025!
The Grand Stage: Road to KIC 2025 Secured
The Philippines will be well-represented in the upcoming KIC 2025, and these four squads are the country's finest. The two top seeds from the Regular Season, BOOM Esports (Spring 2025 Champions) and Blacklist International, automatically secured two of the KIC slots and a guaranteed Top 4 finish in the PKL Fall.
They were joined by the victors of the Play-In Stage (held on October 5): ACT Esports Club and Elevate. ACT swept TNT Tropang Alab 2-0, while Elevate pulled off an upset with a dominant 2-0 sweep against WETRND Esports, successfully punching their tickets to the international tournament.
Now, all eyes are on the Playoffs to determine the ultimate PKL champion and the Philippines' top seed to the regional Honor of Kings Nation Clash in Malaysia later this month.
