At long last, the playing field has been whittled down. Just six teams advance to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Season 10 (MPL ID Season 10) playoffs, where they will battle for a chance to represent the region at the M4 World Championship.

Led by Filipino import Kairi “Kairi” Rayosdelsol, ONIC Esports finished first in the regular season with an impressive 11-3 record, followed by defending champion RRQ Hoshi and Alter Ego.

And after a slow start in the season, Rebellion Zion went on a three-game winning streak in the second half to qualify for the playoffs, their first appearance since joining the league in Season 8.

The stakes are especially high this time. M4 will be held in Indonesia early next year, and teams will be hoping for a chance to lift the trophy on home soil.
