John Paul “H2wo” Salonga turned emotional in a Facebook post as he thanked his former team Nexplay Evos after spending five seasons with the Dogie-led squad while also announcing his transfer to RSG Slate (formerly RSG Philippines).
“Hindi ko nakita sarili ko na mapapasama sa post na ‘Thank you’ dahil simula umpisa hindi lang ka-trabaho at trabaho tingin ko sa mga tao sa NXPE at sa mismong bootcamp, pamilya na turing ko sa kanila. Alam ko wala ako dito sa posisyon at ginhawa ng buhay na ito kung hindi din dahil sa kanila at sa mga taong sumusuporta sakin/samin.” H2wo said in the post.
“Nagpapasalamat din ako sa RSG, mga bago kong ka teammates at kay coach kase pinaglaban at tinanggap nila ako. Wala pa naman ako sobrang napatunayan pero tinanggap nila ako, mga champs. Excited na ako sa bagong yugto ng buhay ko!”
H2wo entered the MPL scene when Nexplay emerged on top of the Season 6 qualifiers. His best finish with the squad was landing 4th in Season 8.
The star jungler and boyfriend of social media personality Mika Salamanca was part of the NXP popular trio together with Renejay “Renejay” Barcarse and Tristan “YAWI” Cabrera.
H2wo was the last to depart the team after Renejay announced his move to Blacklist International’s Sibol team last month while Yawi transferred to Echo in Season 9.
H2wo will be joining an RSG squad that will try to defend the MLBB Southeast Asian Cup title in Season 11. RSG finished 1st and 3rd during the last two seasons.
