2024 MPL Philippines season#Split 1

MPL Philippines’ Seasons are split into two: The Regular Season and the Playoffs. The Regular Season consists of fourteen games. Each team competing will be playing a double-round robin tournament format, facing each other twice in the span of six to eight weeks. Only the top six teams will advance to the playoffs and the remaining two will be eliminated. Furthermore, the Regular Season instituted a new pointing system wherein:

• The team who won a 2–0 series will receive 3 points;
• The team who won a 2–1 series will receive 3 points;
• The team who lost a 2–1 series will receive 1 point;
• The team who lost a 2–0 series will receive 0 points.

• The Top 6 teams from the Regular Season table will advance to the playoff round. The bottom 2 will be eliminated from contention.
• Teams Seeded 5 and 6 will be facing each other for a Best of 5 series to advance to the second round in a modified King of the Hill Tournament format.
• The winning team from Match 1 will advance to face Seed 4 and play a Best of 5 series to advance to the Upper Bracket Semifinals.
• Seed 3 will be matching up with Seed 2 in the playoffs, making Seed 3 a qualifying team in the semifinals.
• All teams will be playing a Best of 5 series except for the Grand Finals which will be a Best of 7.

Moreover, Fnatic ONIC PH was the next team to qualify for the playoffs after winning over Smart Omega in Week 5 Day 2.

After a 2–0 victory over Fnatic ONIC PH in Week 6, Minana EVOS qualified for the playoffs as the potential fifth seed for the first time since Season 9 when they were still branded as "Nexplay EVOS".

Blacklist International secures the final playoff spot after winning one match against Team Liquid PH to tie the game series 1-1. That gave Blacklist International enough games to qualify for the MPL Philippines Season 13 playoffs, thereby eliminating Smart Omega from playoff contention.

After a 2–1 victory over Team Liquid PH, Falcons AP Bren finishes the regular season with an 11–3 record and 35 points, giving them the first seed in the playoffs. Team Liquid PH remained the second seed because of their total number of regular season points and due to the promptly defeat of RSG Philippines to Blacklist International which only gave RSG an additional 1 point to secure the third seed.

MPL Philippines Season 13's playoffs began with the introduction of the Philippines' continual accolades from MSC 2018 to the M5 World Championship and subsequent Games of the Future.

The first match of the MPL Philippines playoffs was between the original rivalry between team Smart Omega and Blacklist International. Coming into the playoffs, Omega has a 4–1 record over Blacklist International, winning their matches with 2-0 and 2-1 victories during the regular season. This is also the first season which sees the MVP trio (commonly known as MV3) of "Edward" Dapadap, Kiel "Oheb" Soriano, and Imam "Hadji" Salic officially ending following Dapadap's early transfer to Aurora Gaming. Moreover, this series is notable for the return of Joshua "Ch4knu" Mangilog{{Emdash}}who previously played for Omega Neos{{Emdash}}returning to the pro-scene full time.

Omega's playoff drought prolongs as they fall in an upset 3-0 match against the underdogs Blacklist International who signed former MPL KH Jungler MP the King and loaned Exp Laner from Bigetron Alpha Lord JM.

The second match was between the debuting playoff team Aurora Gaming who against the defending MPL Philippines champions Team Liquid Philippines. TLPH was coming off a rough 8–6 regular season that placed them in sixth place. Initially, Aurora Gaming poised to be a formidable challenger to the former world champions, takings Games 1 and 3 unscathed of potential comebacks. However, TLPH would retaliate in Games 2 and 4 that would position them in comfortable compositions of heroes and bans. In Game 5, continual gold-lead shifts would hinder either team's ability to close off Game 5. Ultimately, Aurora Gaming defeated TLPH in the second series to face off the first seed Fnatic ONIC Philippines in the next round.

TLPH becomes the first former world champions to bow out from the MPL Philippines Season 14 playoffs following Blacklist International's advancement during the first match. Furthermore, they become the first MPL Philippines champion since Blacklist International (since the introduction of the franchise based-system) to have an early-playoff exit as the defending champions. The last time a defending champion failed to defend their title and exit earlier than expected from the playoffs was Blacklist International who failed to even qualify for playoffs in Season 9.

After leading to a 2{{Endash}}0 start to the series, Fnatic ONIC Philippines would stumble in Game 3 when Aurora Gaming was able to pick up certain comfort picks that pushed the series into five games.

However, after another game of potentially winning ONIC its first MPL title in its Philippines franchise, Aurora Gaming was able to win Game 5 to push the series into six games.

The Grand Finals for MPL Philippines Season 14 would be the first since MPL Philippines Season 7 to go to seven games.

Season 13 was known for having a controversial occurrence during the Third Week of Professional Play when Ian "Fywdchickn" Hohl of Gaimin Gladiators commented in a stream of his thoughts of MPL Philippines Season 13. Initially, Hohl critiqued MPL Philippines and MPL Indonesia together, citing that the production of MPL Indonesia was relatively better than that of MPL Philippines but quickly reiterated that the Philippines' gameplay is substantially better.{{Cite web |title=Portal Berita, Download Game dan Beli Voucher Game Terpercaya Di Indonesia |url=https://duniagames.co.id/ |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=duniagames.co.id |language=en}}{{shallow reference inline|date=June 2025}} During the first day of the third week, Hohl's image alongside the exact comment he made was posted during the livestream which the casters have quoted "MPL Philippines is boring".

Continuous backlash was thrown at Hohl for his comments with even players being asked to comment regarding the issue which included David "FlapTzy" Canon and King "K1NGKONG" Perez of Falcons AP Bren and Fnatic ONIC PH to name a few, respectively. In retaliation, Hohl made a public response regarding the matter on his personal YouTube channel which he criticized MPL Philippines' production for manipulating its fans.{{Cite web |last=Rossel |first=John Dave |date=2024-04-09 |title=FwydChickn Calls Out MPL PH for Taking His Broadcast Comparison Out of Context |url=https://afkgaming.com/mobileesports/news/fwydchickn-calls-out-mpl-ph-for-taking-his-broadcast-comparison-out-of-context |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=AFK Gaming |language=en}}

He also gave thanks to Johnmar "OhMyV33Nus" Villaluna who made a different video citing his comments regarding the issue.

On 25 April 2024, Francis "Duckeyyy" Glindro posted on his official Facebook Page a screenshot of former University of Santo Tomas Teletigers Esports Club Head Coach Jigen Paul "Jigen Paul" Masangkay's profile alongside a messenger conversation allegedly working a deal with amateur players to game fix certain matches.{{Cite web |last1=@bravo6livePH |last2=@bravo6livePH |date=2024-04-25 |title=BREAKING: Student MLBB coach named in MDL-PH match-fixing scandal, org kicks him out |url=https://www.fragster.com/breaking-student-mlbb-coach-named-in-mdl-ph-match-fixing-scandal-org-kicks-him-out/ |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=Fragster |language=en-US}} The conversation asked an unidentified individual if he/she is willing to pay a ₱100,000 fee (US$1,734.97) to game fix three MPL or MDL Philippines matches. Following the allegations, all MPL organizations and amateur teams have released statements regarding the matter and have launched independent investigations regarding the allegations.
