MSC 2025 prize: How much did Team Liquid and Onic PH win?

Philippine teams Team Liquid and Onic Philippines reaped the rewards of their stellar Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid-Season Cup (MSC) 2025 campaigns held last week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Each team is walking away with millions in prize money after securing podium finishes in the prestigious tournament.

Based on the Esports World Cup website, Team Liquid is bagging US $1 million prize pool after claiming the championship that saw the Cavalry sweep the contest, winning all five games that included a convincing 4-1 victory over defending champion SRG.OG of Malaysia in the grand finals. 

The milestone cemented Team Liquid’s legacy as the first MLBB squad to capture all major titles—MPL, MSC, and the M-Series World Championship — thanks to the quintet of jungler Karl "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno, gold laner Kiel "Oheb" Soriano, roamer Jaypee "Jaypee" Dela Cruz, exp laner Sanford "Sanford" Vinuya, and mid laner Alston "Sanji" Pabico. 

KarlTzy has also legitimized his status as the MLBB Greatest of All Time (GOAT), having won two world championships, four MPL titles, and now, an MSC crown. He has also won a SEA Games gold medal in 2019. 

Onic, the reigning world champion, took home US $250,000 after finishing third in the 16-team field. 

Onic, led by gold laner Duane "Kelra" Pillas and jungler Cyric "K1NGKONG" Perez, fell to SRG.OG in a grueling best-of-five semifinals duel to bow out of contention. They then bounced back, stunning powerhouse Onic Indonesia in the battle for third with a 3-2 triumph. 

Both teams will take a quick breather before plunging into action in the MPL Season 16 that fires off on August 22. 

Incidentally, both teams will tangle right away to kick off their campaigns as they lock horns on August 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Green Sun in Makati.
