ONIC PH formally parted ways with one of its key players in the Mobile Legends Professional League in team captain Ralph “Rapidoot” Adrales ahead of Season 11.
In an announcement, ONIC PH stressed that it is letting go Rapidoot, the 24-year-old roamer who was the driving force behind its epic run in the regular season of Season 10 after they beat reigning champion RSG PH and Blacklist International.
ONIC PH, however, got figured out by other teams, prompting it to end its Cinderella run with a 7-7 win-loss record.
Then, it became the first team to get eliminated from the Playoffs following a 0-3 setback to RSG PH.
“We will miss your special sisig, Ralph “ONIC Rapidoot” Adrales,” ONIC PH announced.
“Thank you for the time you spent with our fam. We’ll surely miss your iconic tank plays, not to mention you’re one of the best roamers out there! Always keep that ONIC heart of yours burning, ‘til we see you again!”
With Rapidoot out of the picture, ONIC PH will tackle the upcoming season with a mix of new and familiar faces in Landher “Der” San Gabriel, Kenneth “Nets” Barro, Nowee “Ryota.” Macasa, Stephen Jasper “Sensui” Castillo, Frince Miguel “SUPER FRINCE” Ramirez, Jefferdson “Kekedoot” Mogol, David “BOSS A.” Gamboa and Archie “Pancake Gaming” Guevarra Jr.
Mark Kevin “Bluffzy” Delos Reyes, meanwhile, will remain as ONIC PH’s Mobile Legends head coach.
