MPL ID S18: NAVI & Team Liquid ID Clinch Top Seeds [Confirmed]

NAVI officially tied Team Liquid ID atop the MPL Indonesia Season 18 regular season standings on October 18 with a 12-4 match record, securing second seed and bypassing the risky single-elimination first round to sit two series wins from the M8 World Championship. According to verified reports from Esports.net, the intense regular season campaign ran from August 14 to October 18, coming down to net game differential. Liquid ID claimed the top seed courtesy of a 26-11 map score, barely edging NAVI's 25-12 record despite NAVI sweeping the league leaders 2-0 in both head-to-head fixtures during the season. This milestone represents the highest regular season placement in NAVI's franchise history in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang competitive circuit. By finishing in the top two, both powerhouse rosters skip the treacherous opening round. In contrast, defending champions Bigetron by Vitality and multi-time champions Fnatic ONIC drop into sudden-death Round 1 clashes. Team Liquid’s tactical stability mirrors their global success across titles like League of Legends, as detailed in our coverage of [Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage: Team Liquid Opener Set [Confirmed]](/news/worlds-2026-swiss-stage-matchups-schedule).
