AS THE BATTLE for the last playoff spot in the MPL Philippines Season 15 heats up, Filipino Sniper Kiel “Oheb” Soriano has spoken and revealed his prediction on which team will make the cut.
The struggles of Twisted Minds in the MPL Philippines Season 15 regular season bring back memories for Oheb, resembling the tough times he had with Blacklist International in Seasons 13 and 14.
“Tingin ko talaga Twisted (Minds) yung makakapasok sa playoffs. Sinabi ko na rin ito dati: yung Twisted talaga may power spike. Parang last season din, yung malalaglag na dapat kami. Week six power spike,” Oheb said, expressing optimism that Twisted Minds can work their way up to the MPL playoffs.
Will history repeat itself?
Let's travel back in time when Blacklist International was still a part of the MPL franchise.
Blacklist International wrapped up their Season 13 regular season campaign in fifth place, which was just enough to qualify for the playoffs.
But the Tier One-backed squad faced yet another challenging campaign, narrowly securing a playoff berth in Season 14 following a turbulent regular season.
Given his history with coach Kristoffer “BON CHAN” Ricaplaza, Mark Jayson “Eson” Gerardo, and Salic “Hadjizy” Imam during their Blacklist International days, Oheb seems to know how Twisted Minds switch things up in response to pressure.
“Yung mga coach din kasi dun parang lagi silang may plan A, B, C, hanggang D. Dami nilang backup na plano. Kung hindi man makasabay sa meta ganun, meron agad silang mga backup heroes na parang kakaiba,” Oheb said.
