The MPL PH Season 17 competition kicked off last week, Friday-Sunday, March 20-22, 2026. Kicking off the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) series, MPL PH featured a variety of new matches in its first week, featuring teams from Team Liquid PH, AURORA PH, ONIC PH, Team Falcons, and others. This first week, many Indonesian MLBB fans were eagerly awaiting the debuts of the Indonesian players competing, including Savero (ONIC PH) and Aeronnshikii (Team Liquid PH).

Aeronnshikii's debut in MPL PH was highly anticipated by fans. They wanted to see how the former MPL ID Season 14 champion would fare with the MSC 2025 Esports World Cup champions. Unfortunately, fans didn't get to see Aeronnshikii's debut in MPL PH Season 17. The team instead fielded Daiki (Gold Laner), who was promoted from MDL to MPL. What really happened? What caused Aeronnshikii's debut in MPL PH Season 17 to be delayed? Read here.

Team Liquid PH Explains Why Aeronnshikii's Debut in MPL PH Season 17 Was Delayed

In the first week of MPL PH Season 17, Team Liquid PH was scheduled to face well-known teams like AURORA PH and Twisted Minds PH. This first week was crucial for Team Liquid PH to secure their position in the standings. Team Liquid PH successfully completed the first week, with KarlTzy and his teammates securing comprehensive victories over AURORA with a score of 2-1 and also against Twisted Minds PH with a score of 2-0.

Besides the victories against these two new teams, the highlight of the first week of MPL PH Season 17 was Aeronnshikii's delayed debut. This contrasted with Savero's performance on ONIC PH, where he immediately competed alongside Kingkong and his teammates. However, before the first week of MPL PH Season 17 began, Team Liquid PH issued a clarification regarding Aeronnshikii's delayed debut in MPL PH.

In the announcement, the team explained that Aeronnshikii's absence from the first week of MPL PH Season 17 was due to pending or delayed administrative matters related to the competition. "We would like to inform everyone that Aeronnshikii will not be participating in week 1 of MPL PH Season 17 due to pending administrative requirements related to the competition," Team Liquid PH wrote on Instagram.

"We appreciate your patience and support as we work through this process and will share more updates when they becomce available. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Let's go Liquid!" Following this announcement, Aeronnshikii was recently spotted returning to Indonesia to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. The team's statement indicated that Aeronnshikii's participation in week two is uncertain. Nevertheless, please continue to support Aeronnshikii and Team Liquid PH in resolving this matter successfully.
