As Mobile Legends Bang Bang Professional League - Philippines enters its halfway point, Onic Philippines and TNC Pro Team solidify their grip in the top 6 as they defeat Blacklist International and Omega Esports both 2-1 respectively.

Kairi “Kairi” Rayosdelsol led Onic PH to a comeback victory in Game 1 finishing the game with a 5/2/7 KDA in his Ling.

In game 2, Blacklist's objective control alongside Salic "Hadji" Imam's Chou and Dexter “DEX STAR” Alaba’s Jawhead proved too much for Onic PH to handle, extending the series at 1-1.

Kairi lifted the M3 runners-up again to a come from behind game 3 with his pivotal Lord steal, slaying Kiel "OHEB" Soriano's Beatrix in the process to seal the deal against the M3 Champions.

In the second series, TNC faced Omega in a wire-to-wire three game series.

Dean "Raizen" Sumagui's Paquito and Renz "Renzio" Cadua's Uranus paved the way for Omega to secure game 1, flanking TNC in the Lord pit past the 17-minute mark that eventually resulted in a wipeout victory.

The reborned "Phoenix" squad, however, went with Daniel "SDzyz" Chu's Ling with the Demon Slayer emblem to take out objectives from the "Kings of the SEA" and shut down Raizen's Lancelot to tie the series, 1-all.

TNC went to a smooth sailing in game 3 backed up by excellent sets from Ben “Benthings” Maglaque’s Khufra punishing Omega's first pick Chou for Joshua "Ch4knu" Mangilog, concluding the series with a 10k gold lead and 8-0 team score.
