MPL Indonesia Season 17 standings enter Week 9 with ONIC sitting alone at the top, already locked for playoffs at 12-2. The real fight is behind them, where Dewa United, EVOS, Team Liquid ID, Geek Fam, Bigetron by Vitality, Alter Ego, and NAVI still fight over the remaining postseason paths.
RRQ Hoshi is already out at 1-13. That sentence still feels heavy for Indonesian MLBB, but the table does not lie.

| 9 | RRQ Hoshi | 1 | 1-13 | 5-26 | -21 |
ONIC owns the cleanest profile in the league. Twelve match wins, only six game losses, and a +20 net game score give them the kind of cushion MPL PH teams usually build when they are already preparing for playoff drafts early.
Dewa still holds second, but Week 8 damages the aura. They lose 0-2 to ONIC, then drop another 0-2 to EVOS, turning a strong upper bracket case into a pressure week.
#MPL Indonesia Season 17 standings make ONIC the clear upper bracket team
ONIC’s Week 8 is the statement. They beat Dewa United 2-0, then survive Alter Ego 2-1, which is exactly the kind of back-to-back test that exposes fake leaders.
This ONIC run has the same regular season control that PH fans saw from Team Liquid PH in domestic play. The difference is the texture. TL PH often suffocates through map discipline and layered objective traps, while ONIC wins with tempo punches that force opponents to answer before their side lanes are ready.
The Alter Ego series matters because ONIC does not get a free sweep. AE takes a game, tests the response, and ONIC still closes. That is playoff behavior, not just regular season farming.
Their Week 9 schedule still includes Bigetron by Vitality and EVOS. ONIC does not need both wins to prove they are elite, but those games decide who gets dragged into the lower half of the playoff race.
#MPL ID S17 playoff race: Dewa, EVOS, and Team Liquid ID chase second
Second place is now the premium ticket. In MPL ID’s playoff structure, the top two regular season teams begin deeper in the upper bracket, which changes everything about preparation, stamina, and draft exposure.
Dewa has the position but not the momentum. Their 0-2 loss to EVOS is the match that opens the door. EVOS does not just take points there, they directly cuts down the team holding the upper bracket seat.
EVOS is third at 8-7 with only one match left, against ONIC. That is brutal. They control enough of their fate to stay dangerous, but their final opponent is the one team nobody wants when every game score matters.
Team Liquid ID is fourth at 8-6 and has the cleaner remaining path on paper. TLID plays Alter Ego, then Geek Fam. Both are playoff rivals, which means Liquid can either climb fast or hand momentum to the pack behind them.
That makes TLID the most interesting team in Week 9. Their 2-0 over RRQ in Week 8 is expected because RRQ is already collapsing, but the clean sweep still matters. In a race this tight, dropping a single game against the bottom team would have been expensive.
#Week 8 results reshape the MPL Indonesia playoff picture
Week 8 starts with Geek Fam beating Bigetron 2-0. That result keeps Geek alive and hurts BTR’s net game score, which now sits at -3 despite a 7-7 match record.
NAVI produces the other major swing. They beat EVOS 2-0, then blank RRQ 2-0. That second result is expected, but the EVOS sweep is the one that keeps NAVI breathing.
The problem for NAVI is math. They sit at 6-9 with one match left, so their ceiling is seven match points. They need to beat Geek Fam and then pray the board breaks their way.
Alter Ego is also walking a thin line. They push ONIC to three games, then lose 0-2 to Bigetron. That split tells the story of their season, dangerous enough to trouble anyone, unstable enough to waste their own work.
RRQ is the shock headline, but not the competitive mystery anymore. A 5-26 game record through Week 8 is not bad luck. It is structural failure across drafts, conversion, and late-game decision-making.
#MPL Indonesia Season 17 Week 9 schedule

|---|---|---|
| May 22 | Bigetron by Vitality vs Dewa United | 15:15 WIB |
| May 22 | Team Liquid ID vs Alter Ego | 18:15 WIB |

| May 24 | ONIC vs EVOS | 17:15 WIB |
| May 24 | NAVI vs Geek Fam | 20:15 WIB |
The most important match is Team Liquid ID vs Geek Fam. It is not the flashiest, but it directly changes the middle of the table and decides whether Liquid can pressure second place.
Dewa vs Bigetron is next. Dewa needs one clean win to calm the table, while BTR needs the upset to avoid being dragged into tie-breaker chaos.
ONIC vs EVOS is the headliner. EVOS gets the hardest final exam in the league, and ONIC gets another chance to deny a rival’s upper bracket push.
#What the MPL Indonesia Season 17 standings say before playoffs
ONIC is the standard. Dewa is wounded but still in position. EVOS has form, but the schedule punishes them. Team Liquid ID has the best chance to steal momentum if they beat both Alter Ego and Geek.
Geek, Bigetron, and Alter Ego are all close enough to qualify, but none has earned comfort. NAVI is alive only because Week 8 gives them a late spark, and RRQ exits as the biggest collapse of the season.
Indonesia’s playoff field is not settled, but the power read is clear. ONIC is the team everyone is chasing, and Week 9 decides who gets to chase from the upper bracket instead of starting the tournament under pressure.
