Go big or go home: Two playoffs slots left in Week 8 of the MPL-PH Season 9!

Each team is walking on thin ice as the Regular Season for MPL-PH Season 9 ends this weekend. Week 8 matches will determine their fate as the playoffs draw near. 

In Week 7, RSG Philippines took over the top spot from Superteam ECHO. TNC still remains in third place with Bren Esports finding themselves at the pit of the rankings, with a slim chance to enter the playoffs.

This week, ECHO will finally be facing off Nexplay EVOS after an unfortunate event in Week 4 that hindered their battle.

Who's in and out of the playoffs? Catch Week 7 of MPL-PH Season 9!

The regular season is almost over, with teams scrambling to get way past each other and secure their position in the playoffs. Week 6 ended with ECHO, TNC Pro Team, and RSG Philippines securing the top three spots.

Many saw how Nexplay EVOS was desperate to end its losing slump, beating Bren Esports last week. The much-needed lift from Renejay "Renejay" Barcarse, who finally got his hands on Chou gave the team what they've needed to secure their points. This week, they will be facing off Smart Omega on the battlefield. 

Currently, Smart Omega is trying to get out of the gray zone. This match is crucial in determining whether the team will get another shot to elevate their standing or continue plummeting until the gates to the playoffs close. 

Will ECHO secure their playoffs spot this week? Don't miss the 6th week of MPL-PH Season 9!

The fifth week of the MPL PH Season 9 rolled with a series of unexpected events. Bren Esports, who have found themselves at the bottom of the standings, managed to score the biggest upset of the season after sweeping Superteam ECHO in their match during Week 5. 

As the playoffs draw near, ECHO needs to emerge victorious against TNC and score 2-0 to secure a spot. However, ECHO seemed to have started to falter with their losses. Will the team find again their footing in this match versus TNC?

On the other hand, TNC has been every contender's favorite with their quietness. Their focus is sharply on scoring and winning every game. Even Blacklist International Coach Bon Chan believes that Ben "Benthings" Maglaque is the new Allan "Lusty" Castromayor, Jr. Will "Team Mabait" continue to soar higher and be successful in getting rid of TNC in the way?
