Background

M2 World Champions Bren Esports were deemed as the favorites to repeat as MPL-PH Champions for this season, as the squad have won the MLBB M2 World Championships in Singapore earlier on January 24, 2021, taking down Myanmar's Burmese Ghouls, 4 games to 3 in a best-of-7 championship series.
