SAME organization, different region.
Duane “Kelra” Pillas shocked the MLBB community on a sleepy Friday afternoon after parting ways with ONIC Philippines after four seasons, with the star gold laner set to transfer to ONIC Indonesia as the competitive MLBB pro scene turns a new gear in 2026.
In a heartfelt social media post, ONIC Philippines honored Kelra, highlighting both his exceptional talent and the strong bond he built with the Super Family.
“There’s really only one Gold Standard. Kelra, people see the crazy mechanics and the Savages, but the real ones know it was the heart you put into every single game that mattered. You took all that pressure and just turned it into something special,” ONIC PH wrote on its official Facebook page.
“Wins and losses come and go, but the bond we have is real. To the Super Fam, you’ll always be more than just a teammate or a player—you’re our brother. Thanks for the hype, the grind, and for always giving us 100% no matter what. Whatever’s next for you, just know the Super Fam is forever. We got you.”
Kelra joined ONIC PH in MPL Philippines Season 13, captured the MPL title in Season 14, and went on to dominate the M6 World Championship where he was named Finals MVP and honored with a Beatrix Finals MVP skin that immortalized his legacy in the Land of Dawn.

The Gold Standard now heads overseas, ready to begin the next phase of his journey with ONIC Indonesia.
“WELCOME TO ONIC ID, KELRA! From ONIC PH to ONIC ID, a new chapter begins. Let’s make history together! Give a warm welcome to KELRA, SONICs!” ONIC Indonesia announced, giving Kelra a warm welcome.
What's next, ONIC PH?
Speculation is growing within the MLBB community that ONIC PH may part ways with two more players, who are rumored to be moving to teams abroad.
ONIC PH had already released former head coach Tony “YnoT” Senedrin in December last year, and he later joined Indonesia’s NAVI ahead of MPL ID Season 17, before sixth man Jaylord “Hate” Gonzales also parted ways with the Super Family.
