Team Liquid’s Championship Form
Team Liquid extended their undefeated streak with clinical precision against Saudi Arabia’s Team Falcons. According to the official MLBB esports coverage, midlaner Alston “Sanji” Pabico dominated on Pharsa with two kills and six assists, orchestrating early-to-mid game tempo that choked out Falcon’s resources.
Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno’s Nolan secured the pivotal five-minute turtle, enabling Kiel “Oheb” Soriano’s Claude to snowball advantages. The defending MSC champions now sit one victory away from Knockout Stage qualification, intensifying speculation about completing the unprecedented “golden road”—winning every major MLBB tournament in a single season.
Wildcard Warriors Make Statements
Team Zone defied expectations by cleanly defeating fellow wildcard qualifier Boostgate Esports. Their draft strategy targeted Boostgate’s comfort picks, specifically banning Kazue’s Hayabusa and Identity’s Selena—demonstrating preparation levels rivaling established franchises.
