MANILA (UPDATED) - Bren Esports and RSG Philippines completed the list of teams competing in the MPL Season 10 playoffs, after the results of their clash in the ICITE Auditorium in Quezon City.

After Bren secured Game 1, RSG Philippines sealed the playoff spot by winning Game 2 through a come-from-behind game that saw them equalize.

Bren broke the deadlock, 2-1, in Game 3 to secure their first playoff bout in two years.

The playoff berth is a statement for the squad, whose performance fell off in the following seasons after they became the first Filipino squad to secure the world title in Mobile Legends.

"Sobrang saya namin na makakapag-playoffs na kami kasi dalawang season na kaming [wala] tapos nakabalik kami ngayong season. Week 6 pa lang, kaya sobrang saya. Sobrang saya ko rin sa teammates ko lalo na sa mga nakasama namin last season na hindi nakapasok," team captain Kyle "Phewww" Arcangel told reporters.

The results also mean TNC Pro Team and Nexplay EVOS are out of playoff contention.

Nexplay will miss the playoffs for the first time since they entered the league in Season 6.

As a result, veteran Jeniel "YellyHaze" Bata-anon will miss the playoffs for the first time, since suiting up for professional ML in MPL Season 1.

In other MPL action, Omega Esports keep their quest for an upper bracket slot alive, after coming away with a 2-0 victory against Onic Philippines, who fell to their second straight loss.

Game 1 saw Kenneth "Nets" Barro and Grant Duane "Kelra" Pillas do mirror backdoor plays, with Kelra coming out on top to draw first blood, before dominating Game 2 to secure the sweep.

Meanwhile, Echo Philippines swept TNC Pro Team, who were playing a non-bearing game as the previous match series sealed their fate this season 10.

TNC Pro Team came away with a 3rd-place finish in Season 9 after acquiring standouts from amateur squad ArkAngel. In Season 10, they retained much of their core lineup, only replacing head coach Vrendon "Vren" Lin who set off to Indonesian squad Bigetron Alpha.

Aside from Bren Esports and RSG Philippines, Onic PH, Blacklist International, Omega Esprots, and Echo Philippines will be the teams squaring off in the playoffs, which will commence mid-October.
