However, after letting the Chip go and debuting the Natan in the knockouts, Liquid ECHO ended the series and sent Falcon Esports home 3 games to 1.
[18] Determined to become the only remaining undefeated team in the Group Stage and the Knockout brackets, Falcons AP Bren made quick works against Cambodian champions SeeYouSoon, ending Games 1 and 2 by under fifteen minutes and with great gold-differentials.
This was also shown as Falcons AP Bren have been consistent in both contesting and winning objectives on the map including the Lord and the Turtle.
Many have predicted that Falcons AP Bren would falter in Game 3 after being too-complacent in certain team fights that enabled SeeYouSoon's Jungler MP the King on the Roger to deal immense damage.
However, following a neutralization effort by Owgwen that pushed Roger to the main base, Falcons AP Bren turned the tides to their favor and ended the game with the first and only sweep in the Knockout Bracket.
[19] Falcons AP Bren and Liquid ECHO would meet in the Semifinals and will qualify the Philippines to the Grand Finals for the fourth-consecutive iteration of the Mid Season Cup.

During the post-game analysis, Caisam “Wolf” Nopueto pointed out that Pheww exposed Sanford's positioning to the team during that skirmish by targeting him in the Mid-Lane as he attempted to reach the Lord side through the middle's left bush (Facing FCAP's base).

A failed attempt to steal the first turtle from the side of SRG widened the lead of FCAP by nearly 2,000-gold in just three minutes into the game.
The "Minoans Fury" Set from Owgwen picked off yet again two members in the turtle contest from SRG and another kill on the bottom lane.
However, their overwhelming presence on the map pushed the Grand Finals series to Game 7—the first Game-seven match in MSC History.
A Fighter vs. Assassin Jungler matchup was picked up in the draft with KyleTzy playing his signature Ling while Sekysss utilized Alpha.
As it neared the transition from the early to the mid game, SRG had a slight advantage of 2,000 gold and with both level 1 turrets going down for FCAP in the mid-lane and side lane.
It seemed that FCAP did not capitalize on its ability to maintain the momentum of the game in any part of the series, inhibiting pressure from SRG's dominance as they lose an inhibitor turret on the bottom lane on the eleventh minute mark.
Selangor Red Giants continues their win streak as they become the champions of MSC 2024, denying another trophy for the Philippines for the second year in a row for the international tournament.
Final standings, Esports Club Championship points distribution, and prizepool of US$3,000,000 distribution are as seen as below:[29] On 3 July, the match between Cambodia's SeeYouSoon and Malaysia's Selangor Red Giants underwent heavy scrutiny from the side of SRG due to several reasons targeting SeeYouSoon.
[30] On 4 July, the MSC Committee has launched its investigation regarding SeeYouSoon's claims of an in-game bug that prevented them from picking their desired hero and their misconduct for surrendering rather than asking for a redraft or a rematch.
