Team Liquid PH (TLPH) immediately sent a powerful message in their opening match of Group A at the MSC 2025 EWC. Facing the MPL MENA champions, Ultra Legends, TLPH came out swinging and secured a dominant 2-0 victory. It wasn’t just the win that turned heads—it was how they won. Aggressive, relentless, and nothing like the usual composed Filipino playstyle. Many fans and analysts now consider TLPH the strongest contender for the Juara MSC 2025 title.

Traditionally, Filipino teams are known for their patience, objective-focused tactics, and late-game scaling. But TLPH broke the mold. In both games against Ultra Legends, they drafted early-game power compositions and went on the offensive from the first second.

In game one, TLPH deployed Phoveus in the EXP lane, Lancelot in the jungle, Pharsa as mid laner, Granger in gold lane, and Gatot Kaca as roamer. This draft clearly indicated their intent to engage and dominate as soon as they hit level 4. Lancelot and Granger delivered the burst, while Gatot Kaca’s crowd control set the tone for aggressive engagements.

The strategy worked to perfection. Ultra Legends, who had looked dominant in their MENA qualifiers, were completely outclassed. They couldn’t even breach TLPH’s outer turrets. The first game ended in just 13 minutes and 1 second (13:01), with a lopsided kill score and full map control by the Filipino squad.

TLPH's Strategy Would Be Difficult for Any Team to Handle

Game two told a similar story, albeit with a completely different draft. This time, TLPH fielded Arlott (EXP), Hayabusa (Jungle), Zhuxin (Mid), Harith (Gold), and Kalea (Roam). Yet again, they leaned fully into the early-game pressure approach.

This draft was built for tempo. Zhuxin and Hayabusa suffocated Ultra Legends’ core heroes from the second minute, while Arlott constantly pressured the side lane. Kalea, with her powerful zoning and slows, enabled jungle control and seamless rotations.

The result? Even quicker than the first. TLPH wrapped up game two in just 11 minutes and 7 seconds (11:07)—a stunning show of dominance. At MSC, such fast victories are not just about momentum; they also give statistical advantages, as the team with the fastest average game time earns the right to choose their opponents in the next phase.

A key factor behind this domination was TLPH’s rapid rotations and immaculate inter-role coordination. KarlTzy, ever the veteran, controlled the jungle, but it was Jaypee and Sanji who stole the spotlight. Their proactive initiations and map awareness were pivotal.

TLPH also displayed remarkable flexibility. They didn’t rely on a single strategy or draft pattern but adapted fluidly to the matchup while maximizing their early-game power spikes. This may very well spark a new trend in MSC 2025—aggressive early skirmishes as the new meta.

If TLPH continue to refine and evolve this approach, they could become the first team to win MSC with a fast-paced, brutal style. It challenges the conventional narrative of Filipino dominance through calculated late-game plays.

Mental fortitude was another highlight. TLPH committed fully to early fights without hesitation and maintained discipline once ahead. This mental clarity separated them from other teams that often falter when leading.

Ultra Legends, to their credit, are no slouches. As regional champions, they brought solid teamplay and mechanics—but TLPH made them look powerless.

Now, fans are wondering whether other favorites like ONIC or RRQ are ready for such an aggressive, tempo-heavy strategy. With their blazing-fast win times, TLPH are now top of Group A and hold the upper hand for selecting easier opponents in the next stage.

Should TLPH maintain this form and continue innovating, their path to becoming Juara MSC 2025 looks wide open. They haven’t just won—they’ve sent a thunderous warning to the rest of the world: this is the new face of Filipino MLBB. TLPH are on a mission to conquer, and becoming Juara MSC 2025 isn’t just a dream—it’s a goal within reach.
