In a move that has generated significant excitement among fans, Joy and Beatrix have been selected to feature in these exclusive skins, set to be released in September 2025.
The Significance of M6 Skins
The M6 champion skins are a prestigious honor, symbolizing the pinnacle of achievement in the MLBB M6 World Championship. These skins are not just cosmetic additions but also serve as a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication. For ONIC Philippines, this is a momentous occasion, especially given their recent rebranding and partnership with the British esports organization, Fnatic.
The Journey of ONIC Philippines
From Humble Beginnings to International Recognition
ONIC Philippines, formerly known as Dream High Gaming, has been a part of the MPL Philippines (MPL PH) since Season 4 in 2019. Over the years, the team has undergone several transformations, including a brief stint as Fnatic ONIC Philippines from Seasons 13 to 14. Despite these changes, the team has consistently shown resilience and a determination to excel.
Key Milestones and Achievements
One of the notable achievements of ONIC Philippines was their runner-up finish in Seasons 4, 5, and 8 of the MPL PH. In Season 8, the team, led by players like Nowee “Ryota” Macasa and Ian “Beemo” Sergio, demonstrated a strong performance, ultimately losing to Blacklist International in the finals.
In Season 10, the team faced significant roster changes and rumors of a potential buyout, but they persevered and continued to compete. The introduction of new players and coaches, such as “ChooxTV” and later the current roster, marked a new chapter for the team.
The Fnatic Partnership and Recent Success
In May 2024, ONIC Philippines partnered with Fnatic, rebranding as Fnatic ONIC PH. This partnership brought in fresh talent, including Duane “Kelra” Pillas and King “K1ngkong” Perez, and new coaching staff. Despite initial doubts, the team showed remarkable improvement, finishing the MPL Philippines Season 14 regular season with an impressive 13-1 record.
Their dominance continued into the playoffs, where they secured the championship title by defeating Aurora Gaming in the grand finals. This victory not only solidified their position as one of the top teams in the Philippines but also marked their first MPL title.
The Current Roster and M6 World Championship Aspirations
A New Roster, New Ambitions
The current roster of Fnatic ONIC PH includes key players such as Kelra, K1ngkong, Frince Miguel “Super Frince” Ramirez, Jann Kirk Solcruz “Kirk” Gutierrez, and Brian “SpiderMilez” Santos. This lineup has proven to be highly effective, with each player bringing unique skills and strategies to the table.
Preparing for the M6 World Championship
As one of the two teams representing the Philippines in the M6 World Championship, Fnatic ONIC PH is under significant pressure to continue the country’s dominance in MLBB esports. The tournament, scheduled from November 21 to December 15 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will feature 23 top teams from around the world competing for a $1 million prize pool.
Despite being relatively new to the international stage, the team has shown remarkable synergy and talent. With Kelra being the only player with prior international experience, the team’s performance in the MPL Philippines Season 14 has instilled confidence in their ability to compete at the highest level.
Conclusion
