The league returns to the SMX Convention Center for its playoffs after holding the Season 9 knockout stage there. Located within the vicinity of SM Mall of Asia, SMX is the biggest private venue in the Philippines for trade events, industry conventions, corporate functions, and international exhibitions.
Early bird passes will be available next week, while further ticket details will be announced soon.
World champion teams Bren Esports and ECHO are the only squads that have secured a playoff spot at the time of writing.
Reigning league champion Blacklist International, RSG Slate Philippines, Smart Omega, ONIC PH, Nexplay EVOS, and TNC will fight for the four remaining seats, with only two weeks of the regular season left.
Besides the trophy and lion’s share of the $75,000 prize pool, also at stake are the two slots of MPL PH in the MSC 2023, set to be held in Cambodia from June 10 to 18.
MPL PH Season 9 winner RSG PH currently holds the MSC title after sweeping Indonesia’s RRQ Hoshi, 4-0, in the grand final last year in Malaysia.
Meanwhile, the 12th inductee in the Hall of Legends is expected to be named during the MPL PH Season 11 playoffs.
Last season, 11 members of the league were inducted to the Hall of Legends for their contributions and achievements in the MLBB esports scene.
