In a moment that will be remembered as one of the most powerful performances of this year’s Esports World Cup, Team Liquid has triumphed in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup, stunning fans across the globe with a 4-1 win in the grand finals. After falling behind early in the first game to Selangor Red Giants OG Esports, the Filipino powerhouse flipped the narrative and never looked back.
The finals were a best-of-seven brawl in Riyadh, and Team Liquid came in with fire. Despite a shaky opening game that went in favor of their opponents, the squad regrouped, recalibrated, and delivered four consecutive wins that showcased their superior coordination, confidence, and clutch factor. Each game was a statement, and by the time the final match began, they had turned pressure into momentum and momentum into absolute dominance.
The road to this moment was paved with flawless execution. Team Liquid entered the tournament unbeaten, having only dropped two games before the finals, and they walked away from the biggest stage with a million-dollar payday from the three million dollar prize pool.
It was not just a win. It was a dismantling.
Selangor Red Giants OG Esports, the defending champions and fan favorites, had scraped their way through the lower bracket, survived knockout thrillers, and were riding high. But once they stood face to face with the relentless intensity of Team Liquid, their title defense crumbled.
Star player Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, one of the most celebrated names in the MLBB world, was visibly emotional post-match.
“I honestly can’t fathom how I feel right now,” he said. “This just feels completely different from anything else I’ve ever won.”
His teammate Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya was awarded the SONY MVP medal for his clutch plays and unwavering consistency throughout the finals. His prize includes ten thousand dollars and the admiration of an entire esports community.
“I owe everything to my teammates,” Sanford said. “They made me the fighter I’ve become.”
With this victory, Team Liquid also bags 1000 points in the EWC Club Championship, pushing their total to 3200 and placing them at the very top of the leaderboard. Just a day prior, they had already secured another championship title, making this their second major win in two days, a feat no other team has managed at EWC 2025. Their streak breaks the trend of twelve different winners across twelve events and asserts Liquid’s dominance like never before.
From the shadows of doubt to the throne of champions, Team Liquid has turned the Mobile Legends Mid Season Cup into their personal masterpiece.
