MPL PH S16 Playoffs Day 4: Team Liquid PH Marches to the Grand Finals

Day 4 of the MPL PH S16 Playoffs delivered a clash worthy of championship stakes! Team Liquid PH and TNC Pro Team battled in the Lower Bracket Finals for the last remaining slot in the Grand Finals. With elimination looming over both squads, every rotation, every call, and every teamfight felt like a defining moment in their season.

Liquid Starts Strong but TNC Retaliates immediately

Right from Game 1, Team Liquid PH looked composed and confident, proving they’re one of the best MLBB teams. Their early rotations were sharp, their objective calls precise, and their teamfights clinical. This gave Liquid the edge, overwhelming TNC’s defenses and securing the series opener.

TNC tried to answer back in Game 2 with a faster, pick-off-oriented draft centered around Zaida’s fast rotation and jungle control, which worked wonders for them. Their aggression paid off as they caught Liquid in back-to-back skirmishes, evening the series 1-1 and reigniting the fight.

The Cavalry Charges Forward

Sanford’s Arlott had an amazing 4-Man Final Slash to put an end to Game 3 while Jaypee’s Gatotkaca dished out initiating and counter-initiating Avatar of Guardians. Team Liquid’s initiators were fired up for the series as they take the series point to continue for their golden road.

We saw how the momentum carried over into both games, where Liquid’s relentless pressure dismantled TNC’s composition in an average of 15 minutes, pushing them to match point.

Liquid Closes in Confidence

Game 5 was the grand finale Liquid had envisioned. TNC fought valiantly, holding on through calculated defenses and clutch initiations, but Liquid’s discipline was unmatched. Their final push with the Lord at the 14-minute mark gave them the final opening they needed. With a decisive mid-lane push, Team Liquid PH shattered the crystal and the competition, claiming the series 4-1.

The New Era of Champions

With their triumph, Team Liquid PH is one step closer to etching their names into MLBB Esports history. One more win is going to grant them a chance for the legendary golden road that no team has achieved. TNC Pro Team depart as worthy semi-finalists — but this match belongs to Liquid, who now move on to the Grand Finals against Aurora Gaming to become the Champions of MPL PH S16.
