MPL ID Week 5: TLID and NAVI have six wins, but a different number of games

After Week 4 of MPL Indonesia Season 18, the official standings put Team Liquid ID first at 6–1 and NAVI second at 6–2. That is seven matches for TLID and eight for NAVI. Reporting only the shared six wins would hide a meaningful difference in remaining opportunities. The table below preserves the organiser’s order; we have not invented a new tiebreak calculation for teams with matching records.

NAVI beat both Dewa United and RRQ Hoshi 2–0 in Week 4. Alter Ego also earned 2–0 wins over Geek Fam and Bigetron. Bigetron lost 1–2 to EVOS before losing to Alter Ego. That makes TLID–Bigetron a meeting between a leader trying to preserve its position and an opponent trying to stop a losing sequence. Naming the opponents makes the recent-form discussion more useful than a generic claim about momentum.

TLID’s official Season 18 roster lists KEVEN in gold lane, KEVIN in jungle and LYONI in roam. Those similar names make role identification especially useful for a newer viewer. A roster listing does not guarantee the starting lineup, so check the broadcast first. Without verified recent individual numbers, our next-match question is about how jungle and roaming support connect with gold-lane development, rather than an unsupported claim about the league’s best player.

TLID are scheduled to face Bigetron and Geek Fam; NAVI face EVOS. If TLID win both, their record becomes 8–1. If NAVI win, theirs becomes 7–2. These are conditional calculations, not predictions. Supporters of a chasing team may get excited about one dropped series, but remaining fixtures matter too. At the bottom, winless Geek Fam face ONIC and TLID while seeking their first match win.

The official schedule and Dot Esports’ dated listing put the Week 5 opener, EVOS–Dewa United, on September 11 at 15:00 WIB. TLID–Bigetron follows on September 12 at 14:00 WIB, and Geek Fam–TLID on September 13 at the same hour. The latter two are 16:00 in Korea. The schedule below converts from Asia/Jakarta to each edition’s reference city. Check the organiser on match day for delays rather than assuming a following series will start at an exact finish time.
