eGilas Pilipinas sweeps qualifiers, storms into Final 4 of eFIBA Season 4 Asian Qualifiers

eGilas Pilipinas didn’t just qualify — it dominated.

The Philippine national esports basketball team marched into the Final 4 of the eFIBA Season 4 Asian Qualifiers with a flawless run, sweeping all of its games in emphatic fashion to emerge as one of the tournament’s most feared contenders.

The Season 3 Asian Qualifier champions powered through the qualifying rounds with an unblemished record, delivering dominant performances across the board. 

The Filipinos opened their campaign with a clinical 40–0 shutout of Kazakhstan, before surviving a tight battle against Indonesia, 123–117, in what proved to be their toughest test of the qualifiers. 

From there, eGilas shifted into overdrive, dismantling Malaysia, 130–66, and overwhelming Thailand, 197–137, behind a relentless offensive display. The sweep was capped by another emphatic 40–0 victory over Mongolia, sealing a perfect run and sending the Philippines into the Final 4 with maximum momentum.

The sweep not only secured the Philippines a place in the Final 4, but also cemented its status as a legitimate favorite heading into the knockout stage set for Feb. 14 and 15, where a single ticket to the eFIBA World Finals in Doha, Qatar is on the line.

Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia round out the Final 4 cast, setting up a high-stakes regional showdown for Asian esports basketball supremacy.

Organized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), eFIBA is the sport’s official global NBA 2K competition, featuring national teams competing in structured continental qualifiers. The Season 4 World Finals in Doha form part of FIBA’s long-term build-up toward the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027, also to be hosted in Qatar.

What stood out in eGilas’ qualifying run was not just the volume of wins, but the manner of dominance. The Philippines overwhelmed multiple opponents with triple-digit scoring outputs, combining offensive explosiveness with defensive discipline — even handing out two shutouts along the way.

Having previously proven competitive on the global stage in past eFIBA World Finals appearances, finishing fourth in the 2023 edition, eGilas now carries both experience and momentum into the Final 4 — a dangerous combination as the stakes rise.

With Doha within reach, the Philippines is now just one strong weekend away from returning to the world stage, where Asia’s best will collide with elite teams from other regions.
