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.
League veterans Execration and Onic will face each other in a rematch of last season’s battle for third place while young guns Work and NXP fight for tournament life.
