As the MPL PH Season 17 intensifies, week 3 shows that Team Liquid shows no mercy after sweeping Smart Omega and TNC to remain unbeaten in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL).
Week 3 felt less like a test and more like a statement, as the squad dismantled both Smart Omega and TNC with a level of control that rarely slipped. Sitting alone at 6-0, they’ve created early separation from the chasing pack, with Team Falcons trailing at 4-1 and ONIC holding a 3-2 slate.
Their series against Smart Omega showcased a lineup comfortable with shifting responsibility mid-series. Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno dictated the early tone in Game 1 with a composed Leomord performance, before Alston “Sanji” Pabico took over in Game 2 with precise execution on Pharsa.
When the match tightened late, it wasn’t panic that surfaced—it was timing. Sanji’s Feathered Air Strike turned a tense skirmish into a decisive wipeout, proving that Team Liquid PH thrives when the margins are smallest.
That same control carried into their clash with TNC, though it took on a different form. Instead of explosive plays, the team leaned into structure, allowing Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz and Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya to anchor the series.
Jaypee’s steady Khaleed presence and Sanford’s durable Uranus pick didn’t just win fights—they dictated how TNC could even approach the game as the result was another sweep.

Recognition followed, with Jaypee and Sanford earning spots in the Team of the Week, while ONIC PH import Savero led the selections alongside Team Falcons’ Kyle and Flap.
Still, individual honors seem secondary to what Team Liquid PH is building—a system where any player can step into the spotlight without disrupting the whole. That balance is becoming their biggest weapon as the season progresses.
As they head into Week 4 to face ONIC on April 19, Sunday, the conversation is no longer about whether Team Liquid PH can keep winning—it’s about how opponents can possibly slow them down.
With a playstyle that blends adaptability, discipline, and trust, they’re not just protecting an unbeaten record—they’re setting the pace for the entire league.
