NAVI PH Falls to Galaxy Phoenix in MWI 2026 Opener

NAVI PH absorbed its first defeat of the MLBB Women’s Invitational (MWI) 2026 campaign, bowing to Cambodia’s Galaxy Phoenix, 0-2, and dropping into the Group B Lower Bracket Quarterfinals of the Esports World Cup in Paris, France.

The redemption campaign of the Philippines’ lone representative at MWI 2026 got off to a difficult start as NAVI PH fell to the Group B Lower Bracket, turning every match moving forward into a battle for survival and a tougher road to the Knockout Stage.

In Game 1, NAVI PH faced an uphill battle against Galaxy Phoenix, who dominated the early game by remaining deathless until the 9:50 mark and claiming all three Turtle objectives.

Neth “Fahh” Sreynoch gave NAVI PH plenty of problems with her Guinevere, using timely Spatial Migrations to give Galaxy Phoenix a major edge in crowd control.

Galaxy Phoenix opted for a familiar composition in Game 2, bringing back Guinevere, Claude, and Belerick, which proved effective in keeping NAVI PH under pressure.

Ly “Winnie” Meyching secured a double kill during the 12-minute top-lane clash, capitalizing on Kasima “Leema” Mustat’s Wrath of Dryad-Flicker combo on Belerick.

The Filipina representatives now find themselves in the Group B Lower Bracket, where they must battle for survival and stay in contention for a spot in the Knockout Stage.

NAVI PH’s next opponent in the Lower Bracket is Myanmar’s Falcon Daisies on July 15 9:00 p.m. Philippine time.
