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 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 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. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Amoranto Sports Complex opens swimming pool to public
The Quezon City local government unit (LGU) officially opened an Olympic-sized swimming pool and other facilities at the Amoranto Sports Complex on Saturday. According to the Quezon City Government Facebook page, Amoranto Sports Complex inaugurated its three-lane swimming pool, offices, elevator, lifeguard station, and 480-seat capacity bleachers. In a separate social media post, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte said aside from the pool, the Amoranto Sports Complex now has locker rooms, a dug-out, a shower area, and a warm-up pool. Three lifeguards were also deployed to ensure the safety of pool users. The pool is open every day to individual or group swimmers from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be an entrance fee of P100 per head and P1,500 for 15 pax. If over 15 pax, there will be an additional P100 per pax (maximum of 20 pax per group) Quezon City student residents will have a 20% discount. In his State of the Nation Address last July 28, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. expressed concern over the growing number of overweight Filipino adults, calling for a nationwide shift to healthier, more active lifestyles through accessible community-based fitness initiatives. Marcos then announced that the Philippine Sports Commission will open its facilities to the public for free. "Simula ngayon, bubuksan ng Philippine Sports Commission sa publiko ang kanilang mga track and field oval sa Pasig, Maynila, at Baguio, upang makapag-jogging na kayo nang libre," he said. (Starting today, the Philippine Sports Commission will open its track and field ovals in Pasig, Manila, and Baguio to the public for free jogging.) Among the PSC facilities opened to the public is the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex's track and field oval in Malate, Manila. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/KG, GMA Integrated News
