Storylines
Can anyone catch the Falcons?
Team Falcons PH climbed to first in Week 6 and have lost just one series all season. Their only game this week is against AP.Bren, who sit seventh at 3–8.
ONIC's double-header
ONIC Philippines play twice. A win over winless Twisted Minds is expected, but Friday's clash with in-form Aurora — who've climbed from the bottom of the table to fourth — is the match of the week.
Twisted Minds' search for a first win
At 0–10 with just two games won all season, Twisted Minds PH face ONIC and Omega. Breaking the duck against Omega on Friday is their best chance yet.
The top three have pulled clear. Week 7 is about who joins them — and whether Aurora's surge is for real.
Format: double round robin regular season, hybrid-elimination playoffs at the PhilSports Arena. Prize pool: $150,000. The season runs until 25 October.
