Undefeated or not, Kiel “OHEB” Soriano bared that Blacklist International will not rest on their laurels up until they reach their ultimate goal – winning the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League-Philippines Season Eight title.
On Saturday afternoon, Blacklist International improved its regular season standing to 11-0 – the best in MPL Philippines history – after a tight 2-1 victory over a gutsy Nexplay EVOS squad.
With the win, the Tier One-backed squad claimed one of the two upper bracket berths with a league-best 28 points.
Still, despite securing the top seed, Blacklist International remains wary of the teams who are trying to deny their repeat bid.
“Di kami magpapakampante,” said OHEB in Blacklist International’s post-match presser.
“Kahit naman undefeated kami ‘di naman kami kampante or ‘di rin kami nape-pressure. Basta ginagawa pa rin namin best namin every game.”
OHEB also lauded Blacklist International’s decision-making during the presser, particularly team captain Johnmar “OhMyV33NUS” Villaluna’s shot-calling in the thrilling series against the fan favorites.
“Nag ra-rap na kami kanina e, tapos ang ganda nung mga nangyari kahit pa lugi kami,” shared OHEB. “Kasi yung ibang teams ‘di ba kapag nalulugi medyo natatahimik ‘di makaisip ng mga plano, kami kahit nalulugi kami kanina walang natatahimik.
“Gumagawa pa rin kami ng paraan kung papaano kami makakabawi, ‘di humihinto yung isip namin kung papaano kami makakabawi, lahat ng turning point na puwedeng mangyari inaano namin,” he added.
Blacklist International will close out the week against ONIC PH tomorrow, Sunday at 4:00 PM.
