The standings for the Top 6 have been a game of musical chairs for the past weeks. This shows the extreme competitiveness of this MPL-PH season. ONIC Philippines impresses the world with their performance in their first ever MPL-PH season. Meanwhile, ECHO, under the new tutelage of Coach Tictac, continues to show a strong regular season performance with an 8-2 match win-loss. Blacklist International isn’t invincible anymore but they are still the strong force that intimidated the world. RSG Philippines still has a few quirks to fix to be able to defend their crown. Omega Esports need to find the perfect mix of players to bring them to the playoffs while Bren Esports continue to rise as the underdogs of this tournament. Nexplay EVOS and TNC Pro Team are still on the brink of not entering the playoffs. They need to improve their standings with only two weeks left of the regular season.

Week 7 is an exciting week as all games are crucial and every point counts. One mistake could affect the overall standings in a flash. MPL-PH Season 10 is live every Friday-Sunday on their official Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
