AP.Bren blends veteran composure with renewed hunger. JamessPangks remains the centerpiece in the jungle, capable of dictating tempo across all phases, while the newly added veteran, Kielvj provides stability in the EXP lane. With Aqua handling the rotation command of the entire team alongside Nova, AP.Bren looks to reassert itself as a disciplined contender.

• EXP Lane: Edward
• Jungle: Demonkite
• Mid Lane: Yue
• Gold Lane: Domengkite
• Roam: Light
• Sub: Calad

Coaching Staff

Continuity is the name of the game for Aurora. Retaining their championship-caliber core, the squad banks on synergy and trust built through deep tournament runs. Light continues to command the map from the MLBB roam role, while Demonkite’s jungle aggression fuels their early-game pressure. The current world champions are here once again to attempt to get their first regional title.

• Gold Lane: Netskie
• Roam: Perkziva
• Substitute: Peuder

Coaching Staff

• Head Coach: Wuraaaaah
• Assistant Coach: Lembot

Smart Omega enters Season 17 with a balanced mix of veterans and emerging talent. Raizen’s jungle pathing remains central to their structure, while Minguin and Perkziva’s development in could be a key swing factor. Omega’s identity has always been about the unknown, and this lineup aims to rediscover that edge.

ONIC Philippines

• Jungle: K1NGKONG
• Mid Lane: Super Frince
• Gold Lane: Savero
• Roam: Brusko
• Sub: Ryota

Coaching Staff

• Head Coach: Haze
• Analyst: Bluffzy

ONIC PH injects a different firepower into Season 17. With one of the Indonesian imports, Savero, stepping into the gold lane, one question is in the minds of the fans. Can he fill in the big shoes Kelra has left the team? With ONIC PH and ONIC ID swapping their Gold Laners, will this be for the benefit of both or will this be their downfall? We’ll find out over the coming weeks.

Team Falcons PH

Players

• Mid Lane: Hadji
• Gold Lane: Super Marco
• Roam: Owgwen
• Sub: Ferdz

Coaching Staff

• Head Coach: Duckey
• Assistant Coach: Moody
• Analyst: Vr3n

Hadji’s arrival strengthens mid-lane shotcalling after their long time captain Pheww has taken a step back from their roster. Meanwhile, the return of Coach Duckey has empowered the roster to its championship form when they were the best MLBB teams in the world back in 2024. Backed by a structured coaching staff, Falcons are built for strategic adaptations.

Team Liquid PH

Players

• EXP Lane: Sanford
• Jungle: KarlTzy
• Mid Lane: Sanji
• Gold Lane: AeronnShikii
• Roam: Jaypee
• Sub: Daikiqt
• Sub: Santi Sucre

Coaching Staff

• Head Coach: Aeon
• Assistant Coach: SN4P

Team Liquid PH keeps its championship backbone intact while refreshing key roles. The other Indonesian import AeronnShikii fills in the important role of their carry as their former Gold Laner Oheb has also left the team. KarlTzy remains the engine of the squad in the jungle, with Sanford and Sanji providing consistent side-lane and mid control.

Aside from the big change with their import, the Head Coach is also another drastic change, having a Singaporean coach for the first time in MPL PH history.

TNC Pro Team

Players

• EXP Lane: 3Mar
• Jungle: Zaida
• Mid Lane: LanceCy
• Gold Lane: Bennyqt
• Roam: Ch4knu
• Sub: Stowm

Coaching Staff

• Head Coach: E2MAX
• Assistant Coach: FindingHito

TNC leans into veteran leadership. Ch4knu’s presence alone shapes the team’s voice and structure, while Bennyqt continues to be a reliable gold-lane damage source. Stability and experience remain their strongest weapons heading into the split.

TNC almost had it last time, finishing 3rd in the playoffs  Can they rise higher and prove that they are a force to be reckoned with? They could even make it to the World Chmapionship with the right results this year.

Twisted Minds PH

Players

• EXP Lane: Lansu
• Jungle: MPtheKing
• Mid Lane: Sionnn
• Gold Lane: Nosia
• Roam: Caloy
• Sub: Owl

• Assistant Coach: ESON

Twisted Minds PH brings aggression and youth to the table. Continuing from their amazing debut last year, the team picked up from the developmental league is here to prove that they can match up against the best in the region. MPtheKing’s jungle tempo and Sionnn’s mid-lane playmaking give the team explosive potential. Under BON CHAN’s leadership, this squad aims to disrupt the established order.
