MPL PH deals Kelra 14-day suspension for unprofessional behavior


Omega Esports’ Duane “Kelra” Pillas has been handed a 14-day suspension by the MPL Philippines, Monday evening.

Kelra’s suspension will begin on the first day of the MPL Philippines Season Eight.

The 16-year-old rising star was caught making lewd and distasteful remarks towards Blacklist International players Danerie “Wise” Del Rosario and Johnmar “OhMyV33NUS” Villaluna through a livestream clip that surfaced online.

Another clip of Kelra making sexist remarks towards Thai MLBB pro player Ramella of IDONOTSLEEP Esports came to light earlier in the day.

“Grant Duane ‘Kelra’ Pillas of Omega Esports was found in violation of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League – Philippines Season 8 Official Rules for offensive comments against fellow professional players and showing of unprofessional behavior during a livestream,” said the MPL through a statement.

According to the league, the MSC MVP violated rules 12.3.3. (Sexual Harassment) and 12.3.4 (Discrimination and Denigration).

Omega Esports was issued a serious warning while Kelra will be imposed with a fine. The league did not reveal the amount of the player’s fine.

With this, all MPL players that are set to compete in Season Eight will be required to attend a Gender Sensitivity and Sexual Harassment Awareness Training Seminar.

“MPL-PH Operating Committee does not tolerate any form of discrimination in the league and we expect our professional players to follow a strict code of conduct. The MPL-Philippines is working with all the teams to produce a safe environment for everyone,” continued the statement.

“Let’s work together to build a more mature and professional league.”
