Team Falcons PH Eliminates Team Vitality, Advances to MSC 2026 Semifinals

Team Falcons PH punched its ticket to the MLBB Mid-Season Cup (MSC) Knockout Stage Semifinals after defeating Indonesia’s Team Vitality, 3-1, at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in Paris, France.

The last of the Philippines found the sweetest form of redemption after taking down Team Vitality, the same squad that defeated them and sent them to the MSC 2026 Group Stage.

Team Falcons is now just one victory away from securing a ticket to the MSC 2026 Grand Finals.

Team Falcons opened Game 1 with an aggressive tempo, as Hadji’s Selena spearheaded a three-minute ambush in the bottom lane. However, Team Vitality quickly answered, with Nnael’s Paquito securing a double kill during the four-minute Turtle fight to cut the deficit.

Kyle’s Joy secured the lord at the eight-minute mark, but Team Vitality attempted to contest behind Finn’s Minotaur, whose three-man Minoan Fury setup was quickly punished as Flap’s Lapu-Lapu responded with a double kill.

Super Marco delivered a massive triple kill during Team Falcons’ 13-minute top-lane sandwich play against Team Vitality, paving the way for an uncontested lord take and the team’s first win of the series. 

Owgwen’s Belerick then sealed the game with a clutch Flicker–Wrath of Dryad combo that resulted in a double kill in the final push. 

The momentum remained on Team Falcons PH’s side in Game 2 as they surged ahead with a 6-1 kill lead against Team Vitality in just 5 minutes, with Hadji continuing to make his mark on Selena.

However, Team Vitality slowly regained control after Nnael’s Nolan secured the third Turtle objective, while Emman’s Paquito eliminated Flap’s Uranus.

The Indonesian squad completely shifted the momentum after Emman caught Super Marco’s Clint in the backline during a 10-minute top lane clash, allowing them to secure the lord uncontested.

During Team Vitality’s 16-minute siege on the bottom lane inhibitor turret, Shogun’s Barats delivered a perfectly timed Flicker-Detona’s Welcome combo to catch Super Marco, allowing Vitality to secure the push and even the series at 1-1.

In Game 3, both teams fought tooth and nail in the early game, remaining deadlocked at 4-4 until Finn’s Khufra caught Kyle’s Fanny with a well-timed Tyrant’s Rage during the 8-minute bottom lane clash. 

Despite the pickoff, Team Falcons responded by leading a 3-for-0 trade to secure the first lord.

Team Falcons surged forward during the 13-minute siege despite Morenooo’s Khufra landing a 3-man stun, locking into the base to secure a 2-1 match point. 

Both teams opened Game 4 cautiously, but Kyle’s Fanny sparked Team Falcons’ snowball with a crucial double kill in a mid-lane clash at the 5-minute mark. 

The game remained deadlocked at 4-4 until the 10-minute lord fight where Kyle’s Fanny secured the objective and 3 members of Team Vitality were taken out. 

Despite Team Vitality’s valiant stand, Team Falcons found the breakthrough they needed during the 13-minute Lord objective. Super Marco’s Hanabi picked off Nnael’s Harith and Morenooo’s Eudora, opening the door for a four-man elimination as the Falcons pushed forward with Emman’s Moskov as the last player standing.

Team Falcons PH will face Myanmar’s Yangon Galacticos in the best-of-five MSC 2026 Semifinals on July 31 (Friday).
