Filipino MLBB Queens Storm Into MWI Playoffs Confident
Team Liquid PH and NAVI PH Top Their Groups
When the dust settled after the first round of MWI 2025 in Riyadh, two Filipino squads stood tall with playoff tickets in hand. Team Liquid PH (TLPH) pulled off a reverse sweep against Natus Vincere MY, while NAVI PH edged out Myanmar’s Terror Queens in a back-and-forth thriller. Filipino MLBB Queens Storm into the next stage is not just a win—but a statement.
Liquid’s Grit Powers Through Malaysian Pressure
Game 1 was far from ideal for TLPH. Remund’s Belerick locked down the map and shut out Ramicii’s Joy and Zaishii’s Zhuxin, while Daiki’s Lapu-Lapu couldn’t find footing—six deaths on the scoreboard and no space to recover.
But true to their name, Liquid flowed around the pressure in Game 2. Ramicii returned with a vengeance, picking Hayabusa and going 6/0/6 in a high-speed demolition job. NAVI MY was held to just three kills—while Zaishii’s Zetian racked up three kills and eight assists, keeping lanes alive and objectives secure.
Game 3? All Liquid. CLA’s Karrie sliced through enemy defenses like a headliner through stage fog—seven kills, five assists, and no signs of slowing down. NAVI MY’s Akai and Phoveus duo couldn’t contain the chaos. The final score read 16-2, and it felt like Liquid had just flipped the entire group stage narrative.
NAVI PH’s Perfect Start, Scrappy Finish
Across the bracket, NAVI PH began their day with nothing short of perfection—a 20-0 sweep that made esports fans collectively check their signal strength.
Keishi’s Yi Sun-shin set the tone, putting up a 6/0/10 statline and commanding map control with quiet precision. Amoree’s Selena added seven kills and five assists, roaming effectively and denying space. It was all pressure, all polish.
But the Terror Queens struck back in Game 2. Led by Hlaingrina’s Gloo, they dismantled NAVI’s momentum with smart engages and tanky control. Hlaingrina posted a 5/1/10 KDA, while NAVI’s Meraaay faltered, falling six times in failed initiations.
Fortunately for the Filipino favorites, composure returned in Game 3. Shinoa’s Melissa held the line with 5/1/4, while not ayanami’s Esmeralda closed lanes and sealed kills at key moments. Her final score of 4/0/5 was clean, efficient, and exactly what NAVI needed. The series was theirs—two wins, one narrow escape.
Two Squads, One Shared Ambition
Both TLPH and NAVI PH are now positioned at the top of their groups and await quarterfinal opponents. But it’s not just standings that matter—it’s momentum.
Team Liquid PH showed they can recover mid-series and punish hesitation. NAVI PH proved their consistency and poise, especially under pressure. The balance between raw mechanical talent and refined macro decision-making is what makes these rosters dangerous.
Whether you’re a fan of silent assassin-style jungle play or chaotic team fight brawls, these two squads represent different philosophies of Mobile Legends play. What they share is clear: hunger, chemistry, and the kind of confidence that usually shows up around trophy time.
