Team Liquid PH has made history at the MSC at EWC 2025 by taking the championship title in a thrilling final held on 2 August. The grand finals saw an intense showdown, as Team Liquid PH battled against the defending champions, Selangor Red Giants OG Esports from Malaysia. But when it came down to the last moment, Team Liquid PH showed why they are one of the most formidable forces in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and crushed their opponents with a commanding 4-1 victory.
The Road To Success
At the start, Selangor Red Giants, who were the champions of the 2024 MSC, looked ready to defend their crown strongly. They opened the series with a powerful first game, dominating the game and gaining control that looked like it would give them the edge. But Team Liquid PH was not going to let this slip away so easily.
Despite some doubts from experts about Team Liquid’s draft choices, especially for not prioritizing some popular heroes like Pharsa, the team had a smart strategy focused on strong early-game heroes and controlling key objectives throughout the match. Their plan paid off as they systematically overturned the initial setback to take the lead by the second game.
Team Liquid PH’s Dominance
From game three onwards, Team Liquid’s dominance was clear as they capitalized on their opponents’ mistakes, baiting them into bad fights and punishing every misstep. Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya stood out as the MVP, especially with his champion, Gloo. His outstanding performance earned him the SONY MVP award and a $10,000 prize. The late games were so one-sided that one match lasted just over ten minutes, showing total control by Team Liquid.
This victory wasn’t just about winning the title; it was about making a statement. Team Liquid PH has finally lifted the MSC at EWC 2025 after years of close calls. Their success also earned them a massive $1 million prize and 1,000 Club Points, boosting their position in the Esports World Cup rankings. Meanwhile, Selangor Red Giants had to settle for second place and $500,000 in earnings.
Team Liquid’s path to the MSC at EWC 2025 was marked by sharp teamwork, excellent communication, and strong individual plays. Their win is a proud moment not only for the team but also for the entire Philippines esports scene, as it marks their first MSC championship since 2022.
