THE road to the MPL Philippines Season 16 playoffs is heating up, setting the stage for a blockbuster Saturday rematch between reigning M6 World Champions ONIC PH and the daring rookies of Twisted Minds.
Looking back to Week 3, Twisted Minds shocked ONIC PH with a hard-fought 2-1 victory that solidified its status as one of the league’s dark horse contenders this season.
It was a statement win—proof that the rookies have the courage and skill to go toe-to-toe with even the most feared teams in MLBB.
Now, as the two squads prepare to clash once again, will ONIC reclaim its pride, or will Twisted Minds once again showcase its rising dominance?
Monster Mage vs Rising Star
The rematch between ONIC PH and Twisted Minds is also a battle of individual brilliance in the mid lane, with Frince “Super Frince” Ramirez and Miguel “Sionnn” Alcantara going head-to-head to prove whose magic is deadlier.
Just last week, Sionnn etched his name in league history with a jaw-dropping 18-0-3 KDA using Kimmy in their match against Team Liquid PH—the second-highest deathless kill score ever recorded in the MPL Philippines.
His fearless play has already made him a fan favorite and a strong Rookie of the Season contender.
But Super Frince doesn’t fold under pressure. His brilliance as captain has long fueled ONIC’s dominance, and now the question is clear: can he outmaneuver the league’s hottest rookie and lead his squad to redemption?
Nothing to Lose, Everything to Prove
ONIC PH enters this rematch not only chasing redemption but also determined to remind everyone why it wears the crown of World Champions - especially after going winless in Week 6, losing to Aurora 2-1, and then being on the receiving end of a shock sweep at the hands of AP.Bren the following day.
Meanwhile, beating ONIC PH twice would confirm that Twisted Minds belong among the league’s best, proving that lack of experience is no obstacle to greatness.
Will ONIC rise back to glory, or will Twisted Minds shake up the league once more?
ONIC PH sits at third place on the leaderboard with a 6-4 record, while Twisted Minds trails in fifth with a 5-6 slate.
