MSC 2025 Knockout Stage match schedules, storylines
Match 1: Team Liquid PH vs Aurora Gaming Türkiye
In the MSC 2025 Knockouts matchup selection, Team Liquid PH chose Aurora Gaming as their opening opponent. The reason? They hope that ONIC PH could make it to the grand finals for an all-PH match. It’s a classic finale in most MLBB international events. “Actually, we would have wanted to play with RRQ, but we are happy [with] this pick,” said the Turkish team’s mid laner, Ahmet “Rosa” Batır.
For context, RRQ Hajirin “Rinz” Arafat talked about how Rosa is only good at using the hero Selena. Rosa responded to this by saying he wants to face RRQ and flex his hero pool. Unfortunately, they’ll have to survive Team Liquid PH first, and for RRQ to advance in the Semifinals before they can have their rematch.
The TLPH vs AUR match is scheduled on July 30 at 1:00 AM (PST).

Match 2: Mythic SEAL vs ONIC Indonesia
Mythic SEAL was the last one to pick and had no other choice but to face ONIC ID. Both representatives were men of few words. As for MYTH’s Elder Master Pyae “Kenn” Ko, he was expecting this to happen: “Yeah, I know since the beginning.”
Myanmar has long carried the weight of its past glory in the MLBB esports scene. Ever since Burmese Ghouls’s unforgettable run to the M2 World Championship Grand Finals, where they pushed the legendary Bren Esports to their limits, fans have been hoping for a repeat performance. But in the years that followed, the region struggled to recreate that magic. Yet now, with Mythic SEAL charging into the Knockout Stage of MSC 2025, there’s a glimmer of something different, something new.
This is more than just a shot at redemption. It’s a chance to redefine what Myanmar MLBB stands for. No longer just a footnote in the history books, Mythic SEAL could be the team that proves the region has evolved.
The MYTH vs ONIC match is scheduled on July 31 at 4:00 AM (PST).
