IT HAS BEEN nothing short of a brutal week for Team Falcons PH, as they crashed out of the 2025 MLBB IESF Southeast Asia Qualifier and suffered sweeps from TNC Pro Team and Smart Omega in Week 2 of the MPL Philippines Season 16.
Team Falcons now find themselves in unfamiliar territory at the bottom of the Week 2 standings, struggling to find their rhythm.
What spelled the difference in the match between Smart Omega and Team Falcons?
Coach Robert “Trebor” Sanchez admitted that they were outdrafted, while David “FlapTzy” Canon recognized committing errors that cost them the match.
Meanwhile, team captain Angelo “Pheww” Arcangel did not mince his words and confessed that the Team Falcons’ morale has taken a hit from their ongoing losing streak.
“Sa totoo lang, hindi ko na ide-deny na mababa yung morale namin,” Pheww said.
Can Team Falcons recover?
The regular season is far from over, but how will Team Falcons recover from the setbacks?
“Kailangan namin humanap ng paraan kung paano pa kami mag-a-adjust. Hindi kami dapat magpakain sa ganitong sitwasyon,” Pheww expressed, choosing not to dwell in defeat.
“Hindi namin papasukin sa utak namin na tuloy-tuloy yung talo,” he added.
The road may have been rough at the start, but Team Falcons are determined to prove that they’re still a team built for greatness.
“Kailangan talaga namin pag-igihan sa susunod na training namin. Yung pag-boost sa morale namin, na mapunta sa mindset namin na nandito pa kami sa MPL, hindi pa kami laglag, kailangan pa namin lumaban,” Pheww said.
They’ve felt the sting of defeat, the weight of doubt, and the blow to morale—but their journey is far from over. Against ONIC Philippines, Team Falcons will face not just an opponent, but the ultimate test of character.
