Playing from the lower bracket may take a longer route to the MPL Philippines Season 7 championship, but Execration, Work Auster Force, Onic PH and Nexplay Esports are all eager to spark a Cinderella run.
However, two of them will have their title bids snapped out right in the first round of the playoffs.

Captain-support Patrick “E2MAX” Caidic on Selena proved to be a deadshot as Execration pulled the rug from under Aura PH, 2-1, to stay in the Playoffs upper bracket race in the MPL Philippines on Sunday night, May 16.
E2MAX’s Selena was on-target with Abyssal Arrows to set up the tempo for Execration’s ruthless aggression en route to a 23-6 rout in just 14 minutes in the deciding Game 3.
The MPL veteran hit eight kills to go with seven assists for a 65 percent kill participation against only two deaths.
Joshua “Ch4knu” Mangilog sustained his stellar play with Grock in the decider as he teamed up with E2MAX to disrupt Aura’s rotation and deplete the resources for Mark “LORD HADESS” Lazaro’s Ling.

Leaning on star tank Joshua “Ch4knu” Mangilog’s Grock, Execration took a swift 2-0 sweep over Laus Playbook Esports to grab a spot in the MPL Philippines Season 7 Playoffs on Friday night, May 12.
Ch4knu’s Grock relentlessly disrupted the rotation of LPE veteran Erwin “Yakou” Magno’s Roger and made plays all over the map in Game 2, enabling Kiel VJ “Kielvj” Hernandez’s Ling and Duane “Kelra” Pillas’ Claude to snowball.
The ‘Double K Connection’ of Kielvj and Kelra got the first Lord kill before spearheading a 4-for-nothing exchange as Exe easily cruised to a 19-8 victory in 12 minutes.
