Fnatic Onic PH eyes intact lineup in coming tournaments

MEMBERS of Fnatic Onic Philippines faced a lot of challenges when they ruled the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M6 World Championships recently.

Players who saw action were not in the best of health, with some catching a fever, a cold or a flu during the certain points in the competition in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

But head coach Anthony Dennis “Ynot” Senedrin said they were able to pull through and claim the title with an unbeaten track record when the best-of-seven finals affair was over.

“We were sick and feverish during certain days of the tournament. We are just thankful that we were undefeated,” said Senedrin during a thanksgiving celebration held in their honor at the Yes Please Restobar in BGC, Taguig.

The feat stretched the Philippines’ dominance in the M World Series, after having five consecutive titles since M2, began by Bren Sports back in 2020.

This year, Fnatic Onic, also known as the Sonics, got past Team Liquid-Indonesia in the finals, 4-1.

Next season, MLBB’s M7 will be held in Indonesia, two years after it was last done in Jakarta.

When the seventh edition of MLBB’s flagship esports event is held in January 2026, team officials are hopeful that they will have an intact roster.

“Hopefully, we will have the same players,” said team manager Rafael Sanchez, with the squad having Frince Miguel “Super Frince” Ramirez, a midlaner, staying on for the last five years.

Their victory earned the Sonics the lion’s share of the $1 million prize pool, amounting to $320,000.

The team was led by gold Laner, Duane “Kelra” Pillas, who was awarded the Grand Finals Most Valuable Player honors.

The rest of FNOP is made up of Jann Kirk “Kirk” Solcruz Gutierrez (exp Laner), King Cyric “K1NGKONG” Perez (jungler), Borris James “Brusko” Parro (roamer), and Brian Milez “SpiderMilez” Santos (roamer).

Senedrin is backed up Jeniel “YellyHaze” Bata-Anon,  as the assistant coach.
