Healer mains rarely shine in the local ML:BB scene, as the meta favors crowd control, initiator support, or tank heroes. However, as the regular season of MPL Season 11 neared its end, Johnmar “OhMyV33nus” Villaluna proved why she reigns as one of the best supports in the world.
She used a blend of old and new heroes to bring a different spice to Blacklist International’s Ultimate Bonding Experience (UBE) strategy.
As Blacklist International continued its quest to defend the MPL Philippines throne, the reigning regular season MVP’s healing remained as the team’s anchor, and she bagged the Razer Gold Player of the Week award from March 28 to April 2.
OhMyV33NUS averaged nine assists and participated in 83.64 percent of Blacklist’s kills, as they defeated Onic Philippines and RSG Slate Philippines in sweeps over the weekend. Showing a different flavor to their UBE strategy with her Floryn pick and turning back the clock with her Estes, the three-time MPL PH champion’s impressive performance gave Blacklist International a better shot at taking one of the two upper bracket slots in the playoffs.
Despite clinching a 2-0 sweep against RSG with her signature hero running free in the drafts, she says there’s still room for improvement.
“It’s a five out of ten for me. Para sa akin kasi hindi pa ‘yun yung [best] game ko,” said OhMyV33NUS, who will get a Razer Blackshark V2 courtesy of Razer Gold.
OhMyV33nus beat teammate Edward “Edward” Dapadap, Bren Esports’ David “FlapTzy” Canon, and Week 6 winner Ben “Benthings” Maglaque of TNC for the weekly award voted upon by print and online media covering the MPL Philippines, as well as the league’s broadcasters and operations team.
