Bren, which ruled the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M2 World Championship in January 2021, defeated GameLab in the best-of-three finals, 2-0. The win meant Bren head coach Francis "Duckeyyy" Glindro will call the shots for the national team come the biennial meet.

But it won't be just the Bren players composing the national squad as players from the other teams that made it to the top four of the qualifiers can also make the cut. This means that Duckeyyy can handpick from the Sibol Combine made up of GameLab, Onic Philippines, and newly-minted M4 world champion Echo.

Bren frustrated Echo in their semifinals clash while Game Lab swept Onic in the other bracket. Blacklist International, which bannered the country in the previous SEA Games, didn't make it to the top four after falling prey to Onic in the second round.

The Philippines is looking to bag its third straight ML:BB SEA Games title after ruling the 2019 and 2022 editions. In 2019, the majority of the Bren team represented the Philippines with the likes of Karl "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno leading the way.
