In the announcement post, FlipTop wrote that similar to past Isabuhay editions, the full bracket matches will only be released as the date for the first round approaches, to ensure all MCs have equal preparation time.

Isabuhay is one of FlipTop’s widely awaited annual tournament events. First held in 2013, past winners include some of the league’s biggest names, including Aklas, Batas, Pistolero, Shehyee, and “The Regionals: Philippines” alumni Loonie and Mhot.
