Sitting atop the ENC Rankings with 12,550 points, the Philippines team leads the standings. This team includes the Team Liquid Philippines core of Jaypee, Sanji, and KarlTzy, along with FlapTzy and Super Marco from Team Falcons Philippines. After their disappointing performance at MSC during EWC 2026, the players are motivated to recover from Team Liquid’s winless streak and group stage elimination as defending champions, aiming to reaffirm their dominance in the MLBB scene.
The Philippines has made significant strides in the MLBB and esports scene, with Filipino players now competing consistently at the highest international levels. The ENC 2026 tournament offers more platforms for local talent to demonstrate their skills globally, allowing the national team to represent the enthusiastic Filipino fans of MLBB, one of the nation’s largest esports communities.
Attention is now focused on the online regional qualifiers scheduled for August 15-16, where the top two teams from various regions will qualify. This includes teams from Western Europe, Eastern Europe & Central Asia, MENA, and Southeast Asia & Oceania, as well as winners from North America, South America, East Asia, South Asia, Central & West Africa, and Southern & East Africa. Additionally, there will be two Wildcard slots: one for the Host Region and one for Solidarity.
