Bigetron defeats Team Liquid ID 4–3 to reach MPL final and qualify for its first M Series

Bigetron by Vitality defeated Team Liquid ID 4–3 in the MPL Indonesia Season 18 lower-bracket final, securing a championship match against NAVI and its first appearance at an M Series World Championship.

The seven-game victory at Jatim Expo in Surabaya also avenged Bigetron’s 3–1 defeat to Liquid earlier in the playoffs.

Liquid takes the opener before Bigetron responds

Team Liquid ID began with a victory, with Aran earning player-of-the-game recognition.

Bigetron answered in the second game through a strong performance from Moreno , who received the corresponding award as the series returned to level terms.

Shogun then helped Bigetron take the third game and establish a series lead. Liquid continued resisting, however, ensuring that the final qualification place would be decided in a seventh game.

Shogun helps deliver the deciding victory

Bigetron found the decisive opening in Liquid’s defence during the final game and converted it into a wipeout to close the series.

Shogun was named player of the game for the decider, contributing to the victory that secured both a grand-final appearance and the organisation’s long-awaited World Championship qualification.

Liquid’s season ends in third place

The result eliminates Liquid despite its first-place regular-season finish.

Liquid had entered the lower final after losing 3–2 to NAVI in the upper-bracket final. Bigetron, meanwhile, had already survived a 3–2 elimination series against Alter Ego to reach the rematch.

With the victory, Bigetron and NAVI became Indonesia’s two representatives at the M8 World Championship. Their qualification was secured before the domestic final, leaving the MPL title as the remaining prize.
