Aqua, renowned for his calm yet lethal presence in the mid lane, played a key role in RSG PH’s Season 9 championship run and their 2022 MLBB Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) triumph.
After RSG PH exited the MPL earlier this year, the Kingslayers went separate ways, prompting Aqua to take a hiatus.
That break comes to an end today as he dons the yellow-and-black jersey, bringing with him a wealth of experience that could serve as the tactical anchor AP.Bren needs to reclaim its dominance.
Joining Aqua in the Hive’s new campaign is Jhon “Lord JM” Sebastian, who makes the jump from TNC Pro Team to strengthen AP.Bren as their new EXP laner.
Rounding out the fresh additions is Denniel "xNova" Gomez, who will make his MPL debut after competing with RRQ Kaito in MDL Philippines from Seasons 3 to 5.
The Hive storms into Season 16 hungrier than ever, eager to bounce back from a rocky Season 15 that ended with a disappointing 7th-place finish.
AP.Bren’s Season 16 roster brings together a mix of talent and personality: Jonathan “Jamespangks” Mendoza, Jerry “chovskrt” Nicol, Jan Carl “Shizou” Valdez, Arvie “Aqua” Antonio, Jhon “Lord JM” Sebastian, and Denniel “xNova” Gomez.
Even with a mix of familiar names and fresh faces, Aqua’s return as team captain stands out as the centerpiece of AP.Bren’s redemption arc.
With his tactical discipline and proven experience on MLBB’s biggest stages, he’s expected to bring the stability and composure the Hive will lean on when the pressure is at its peak.
Fueled by the sting of last season’s heartbreak, AP.Bren steps into the new campaign with a renewed drive to restore their reputation as one of MLBB’s most feared squads.
