MSC 2025 Knockout Stage Day 3: The Kings Duel for a Grand Final Ticket

The third day of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup (MSC) 2025 Knockout Stage featured two semifinal matches steeped in history, rivalry, and championship ambition. The four best teams from the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia battled for one goal: a ticket to the MSC 2025 Grand Final.

SRG.OG vs ONIC PH (4:00 PM WIB) - Battle of the World Champion and the Defending Champion

The opening match pits ONIC PH , the M6 world champions, against Selangor Red Giants OG (SRG.OG) , the defending MSC champions. This matchup isn't just a semifinal, but a duel of legacies and destiny. ONIC PH is aiming for their first MSC title, while SRG.OG is trying to make history as the first team to win back-to-back MSC titles.

The main focus will be on Kelra vs. Innocent in the gold lane—two flamboyant players with aggressive styles and a long history of lane duels. The draft war is expected to be fierce, with both teams known for their mastery of strategy, often surprising their opponents with unexpected picks.

Team Liquid PH vs ONIC Indonesia (7:00 PM WIB) - A Match Full of Revenge and History

The second match pits Team Liquid PH , the favorites to win from the Philippines, against ONIC Indonesia , the sky kings who are still Indonesia's only hope at MSC 2025. TLPH previously defeated ONIC in the group stage, but ONIC has a superior historical record, including a landslide 3-0 victory in the MSC 2023 semifinals.

This fight will be a duel between MVPs:

KarlTzy vs Kairi in the jungle
Sanford vs Lutpii in EXP lane
Macro battle between Kiboy and YellyHaze on roamer
With momentum, grudges, and reputations at stake, this match could be even hotter than the Grand Final itself.
