Three must-watch MPL PH Season 15 matches in Week 7

MAKATI — The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines Season 15 is heading into its penultimate week, and the stakes have never been higher. With Team Liquid PH and Aurora Gaming closing in on upper bracket spots, and Twisted Minds PH, AP.Bren, and Smart Omega fighting for the final playoff berth, fans are in for a thrilling three-day stretch.

Meanwhile, ONIC Philippines and Team Falcons PH look to secure their place in the top four, while TNC Pro Team, though out of upper bracket contention, can still play spoiler as the league heads into the final stretch.

Here are three of the seven Week 7 matchups that fans should keep an eye on:

With the postseason hopes on the line, this matchup could define the final playoff picture.

Their first encounter in Week 3 went the full three games, and this rematch promises even more fireworks. It’s also a showdown between two of the league’s most seasoned tacticians — Kristoffer “BON CHAN” Ricaplaza of Twisted Minds and Jomie “P4kbet” Abalos of AP.Bren — both known for their creative and unconventional drafts.

The midlane duel features two compelling stories: Salic “Hadji” Imam, a veteran with multiple MPL titles and international experience, versus Jerry Ian “chovskrt” Nicol, a rising star fresh from the MDL scene. With Patch 1.9.68 in play, fans can expect some surprises in strategy and hero picks.

Will AP.Bren’s MDL core strike back, or can Twisted Minds maintain their edge?

2. TNC Pro Team vs. Aurora Gaming

There’s more at stake than standings — this rematch comes with a personal edge.

Jan Dominic “Domengkite” del Mundo is in peak form this season, currently ranking third in kills per game and second in total kills. But his clash with Benedict “Bennyqt” Gonzales, now the new gold laner for TNC Pro Team, adds another layer of intrigue. Bennyqt, a former Team Liquid PH standout, has recorded 5.82 kills per game and holds the second-best KDA league-wide.

Adding to the storyline, both squads missed the IESF Sibol National Qualifiers earlier this month — a missed opportunity that left fans wondering what could’ve been. A win here won’t rewrite that chapter, but it could serve as redemption and help restore momentum as they chase a strong finish in the regular season.

3. ONIC Philippines vs. Team Liquid PH

Two titans collide in what could be a preview of the playoffs.

ONIC Philippines is riding a massive wave of momentum, having won 13 consecutive matches across MPL PH and the Snapdragon Pro Series Mobile Masters. Yet, they’ve yet to overcome Team Liquid PH this year — including a loss during the semifinals of the Sibol Qualifiers.

This marquee matchup features two of the league’s most accomplished players: Karl Gabriel “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, the two-time World Champion and centerpiece of TLPH’s jungle, and Duane “Kelra” Pillas, the phenom known as the “Gold Standard.”

Will ONIC’s win streak finally include Team Liquid PH, or will KarlTzy and company show once again that they have the Super Fam’s number?
