MPL PH Season 18 Standings: Final Table and Playoff Teams
Final standings vs playoff bracket: what 12–2 means now
Verified editorial update: October 15, 2026 (PHT). This dated update supplements the original report; archived results, images and previous analysis remain below.
The final MPL PH Season 18 standings are a regular-season record, not a running playoff table. Team Liquid PH and Team Falcons each finished 12–2, while Aurora Gaming and ONIC PH were 9–5. Those historical results are fixed; they should not change in response to October 21 playoff matches.
The postseason schedule begins with ONIC–TNC (3:00 PM) and Aurora–Smart Omega (7:00 PM) on October 21. Falcons and Liquid are scheduled for October 22 with opponents to be determined. Keep brackets, seed positions and actual series scores in separate tables: an upcoming match is neither a victory nor an elimination.
For score-by-score postseason coverage rather than archived standing positions, use the MPL playoff bracket and schedule. Readers checking teams may also consult confirmed team rosters. This separation protects against confusing ranking keywords with fixture-search intent.

Why Did Team Liquid Finish Ahead of Team Falcons?
October 14 playoff link: Liquid and Falcons earned the top two seeds. They await their October 22 opponents, while ONIC vs TNC and Aurora vs Omega are confirmed for October 21. See the MPL PH Season 18 playoffs bracket and official fixture listings.
Both teams finished with twelve wins and two losses. Team Liquid PH earned 25 game wins and six losses (+19); Team Falcons finished 26–10 (+16). The final official table places Liquid first and Falcons second. These are completed records, not a projection or an editorial tiebreak estimate.
The top two were strongest over the regular season, but neither is automatically an M8 representative. The playoff bracket decides who advances internationally.
How Did TNC Secure the Final Playoff Spot?
TNC Pro Team finished sixth at 4–10. AP.Bren lost to Smart Omega 0–2 on October 9 and ended seventh at 3–11. As a result, the earlier mathematical sixth-place scenarios are resolved and should be treated as historical pre-match analysis, not live qualification possibilities.
Twisted Minds finished 0–14. The six playoff teams are Liquid, Falcons, Aurora, ONIC, Omega and TNC.
