A NEW SEASON, a new roster for Onic PH as the team officially released their final lineup for Season 12.
The mainstays from last season remain as Frince Miguel "Super Frince" Ramirez, Kenneth "Nets" Barro, and David Christian "BOSS A" Gamboa will still play for the Hedgehogs.
Meanwhile the team reinforced themselves with fresh faces. Former Omega Esports jungler, Dean Christian "Raizen" Sumagui, is now a part of the team alongisde TNC's Jomarie "Escalera" Santos and Mark Genzon "Kramm" Rusiana.
Then there's the return of Onic PH roamer, Ralph "Rapidoot" Adrales, who was placed in the MDL roster last season to focus on his education.
He wasn't the only one who was promoted from Onic Arsenals to the MPL as Jem "Jem" Lanojan likewise made the next step.
Other members from the team included former EUPHORIA player Czedrick Jaylord "Yoshinu" Romero and former RSG PH rookie, John "Perkz" Sumawan.
Onic welcomes Coach Bam
Mentoring this team are Mark Kevin "Bluffzy" Delos Reyes and Jeffrey "Jeff" Manforte, who were involved with the org last season. They'll be supported by newcomers Hans "Wurahhhh" Solano and Abraham "Bam" Unida. Coach Bam was part the Women's MLBB squad that garnered a silver medal in the recently concluded Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia.
Meanwhile, Wurahhhh was involved with G2-Blacklist's Wild Rift team.
With Onic already revealing their main roster for the MPL, questions were raised on the fate of their former members. Jefferdson "Kekedoot" Mogol who replaced Rapidoot in Season 11, will now be playing for Onic's MDL squad alongside Landher "Der" San Gabriel.
As for the other members like Stephen "Sensui" Castillo and Nowee "Ryota" Macasa, it's possible that they'll end up with other teams given their appearances for Blacklist International and Omega Esports during the preseason.
With so much changes happening in their lineup, Onic is hoping that they could ascend from their 5th-6th place finish last Season 11.
