The MPL Philippines Season 16 (MPL PH S16) competition will soon begin, with the opening day scheduled for Friday, August 22, 2025. The journey to the M7 World Championship will soon begin, and all MPL PH S16 teams are already preparing their best for the new competitive season. Changes to the roster and coaches demonstrate that all MPL PH S16 teams are truly maximizing their preparations.

For the record, there are no changes to the MPL PH S16 team roster, which will still feature a total of eight top esports teams this season. As we know, last season, MPL PH welcomed two new teams: Twisted Minds PH and Team Falcons PH, which recruited top Philippine MLBB stars. Now, the competition will heat up, not only for the championship title but also for a ticket to the M7 World Championship.

How will the MPL PH S16 teams change? What shifts have occurred during the MPL PH S16 transfer window over the past few months? Who will be able to achieve glory with their existing strengths in the new competitive season? It will certainly be interesting to follow. Curious about the MPL PH S16 team list and their rosters?

MPL PH S16 Team List and Complete Rosters

1. AP BREN

After releasing their star roster to Team Falcons PH last season, AP BREN tried to build a new force with young stars. Unfortunately, last season, AP BREN still didn't achieve optimal results and had to accept the fact that they didn't qualify for the playoffs. Naturally, this failure prompted AP BREN to improve and try to concoct new strengths.

Here is the complete AP BREN roster:

• John Marl “LORD JM” Sebastian - EXP Laner
• Jonathan James “JAMESPANGKS” Mendoza - Jungler
• Arvie Calderon “AQUA” Antonio - Mid Laner
• Jan Carl “SHIZOU” Valdez - Gold Laner

• “CHOVY” - Mid Laner/Subs
• Jeffrey “JEFF” Manforte - Coach
• Jerome “CONS” Domingo - Assistant Coach

2. AURORA

A dominant performance in the Regular Season didn't guarantee success for AURORA last season. A loss in the playoffs cost AURORA the chance to represent the Philippines at the MSC 2025 Esports World Cup. However, defeat isn't the end of the world. AURORA is now ready to welcome the new competitive season with even more promise.

Here is the complete AURORA roster:

• Edward Jay “EDWARD” Dapadap - EXP Laner
• Jonard Edward “DEMONKITE” Caranto - Jungler
• Kenneth Carl “YUE” Tadeo - Mid Laner

• Justin “CALAD” Limbo - Analyst

3. SMART OMEGA ESPORTS

Failing to advance to the playoffs has forced SMART Omega to take strategic steps to prepare a new force for MPL PH Season 16. Hope is not lost; a new force has arrived, and it looks like this will be the new face and identity of SMART Omega's strength in MPL PH Season 16. Don't underestimate their new strength, they are here to dominate all opponents.

Here is the complete SMART Omega roster:

• James “JEYMS” Gloria - EXP Laner
• Dean Christian “RAIZEN” Sumagui - Jungler
• Salic Alluya “HADJI” Imam - Mid Laner
• Kenneth Sablande “NETSKIE” Barro - Gold Laner
• Czedrick “SUPER YOSHI” Romero - Roamer
• Hans “WURAAAH” Solano - Coach
• Lemuel Josh “LEMBOT” Lucban - Assistant Coach
• Allec Monsseur “SN4P” Alvarado Alberto - Analyst

4. ONIC PHILIPPINES

The “Super Family,” as the reigning M6 World Championship champions, managed to dominate half of the 2025 competition. However, their failure to win the MSC 2025 Esports World Cup has spurred ONIC PH to regain their dominance in MPL PH Season 16 and secure a ticket to the M7 World Championship as defending champions. There aren't many changes, however, ONIC PH welcomes back a member of their family this season.

Here is the complete ONIC PH roster:

• Jann Kirk “KIRK” Solcruz Gutierrez - EXP Laner
• King Cyric “K1NGKONG” Perez - Jungler
• Frince Miguel “SUPER FRINCE” Ramirez - Mid Laner
• Grant Duane “KELRA” Pillas - Gold Laner

• Nowee Cabailo “RYOTA” Macassa - EXP Laner/Subs
• Jaylord “HATE” Gonzales - Flex/Subs
• Anthony Dennis “YNOT” Senedrin - Coach
• Jeniel “YELLYHAZE” Bata-Anon - Analyst

5. TEAM FALCONS PH

As former M5 World Championship champions, Team Falcons PH faced a significant challenge in their MPL PH debut. Their performance could be said to have begun to lag behind other, more established teams like ONIC PH, Team Liquid PH, and even AURORA. However, their failure to advance to the MSC 2025 Esports World Cup has made Team Falcons PH even more solid and resilient this season.

Here is the complete Team Falcons PH roster:

• David Charles “FLAPTZY” Canon - EXP Laner
• Michael Angelo “KYLETZY” Sayson - Jungler
• Angelo Kyle “PHEWW” Arcangel - Mid Laner
• Marco Stephen “SUPER MARCO” Requitiano - Gold Laner
• Rowgien Stimpson “OWGWEN” Unigo - Roamer
• Edferdz “FERDZ” Fernandez - EXP Laner/Subs
• Francis “DUCKY” Gilindro - Coach
• Robert Alexis “TREBOR” Sanchez - Coach

6. TEAM LIQUID PH

Coming into MPL PH Season 16 as the MSC 2025 Esports World Cup champions, The Cavalry appear to have remained unchanged in the new season. The players are ready to take on a new mission: securing the MPL PH Season 16 title and securing a ticket to the M7 World Championship. This is a crucial opportunity for Team Liquid PH, considering they missed out on the M6 World Championship the previous year.

Here is the complete Team Liquid PH roster:

• Sanford Marin “SANFORD” Vinuya - EXP Laner
• Karl Gabriel “KARLTZY” Nepomuceno - Jungler
• Alston “SANJI” Pablico - Mid Laner
• Kiel “OHEB” Soriano - Gold Laner
• Jaypee Gonzales “JAYPEE” Dela Cruz - Roamer
• John “PERKZ” Sumawan - Roamer/Subs
• Rodel “AR SY” Cruz - Coach

7. TNC PRO TEAM

Signs of a resurgence from the “Phoenix Army” were already visible last season. Bringing in big stars, including former M4 champion Bennyqt, has boosted TNC Pro Team's capabilities in the competitive MPL PH scene. Now, they won't let that resurgence fade, and the “Phoenix” are ready to soar high towards greater goals.

Here is the complete TNC Pro Team roster:

• Frediemar “3MARTZY” Serafico - EXP Laner
• Justine Sadia “ZAIDA” Palma - Jungler
• Lance Walter “LANCECY” Cunanan - Mid Laner
• Frederic Benedict “BENNYQT” Gonzales - Gold Laner
• Joshua Garcia “CH4KNU” Mangilog - Roamer
• Robert Remar “FINDING HITO” Candoy - Flex/Subs
• Patric “E2MAX” Caidic - Pelath

8. TWISTED MINDS PH

Coming into last season, Twisted Minds PH performed quite well. However, their defeat in the play-ins last season was a sign that the team needed a change to be more competitive going forward. Veterans are being released, and young stars are starting to strengthen the team. Hopefully, the coach's mix can surprise many who were doubtful.

Here's the complete Twisted Minds PH roster:

• Lance Aron “LANSU” Misa - EXP Laner
• Michael Medrocillo “MP THE KING” Endino - Jungler
• Miguel “SIONNN” Alcantara - Mid Laner
• Mico “NOSIA” Guevarra - Gold Laner
• John Carlo “CALOY” Roma - Roamer
