Two of ONIC PH’s key pieces in its impressive MPL Philippines Season 10 campaign are no longer with the squad.
On Sunday night, the organization announced that it has parted ways with roamer and team captain Ralph “Rapidoot” Adrales and assistant coach Jeffrey “Jeff” Manforte just weeks before the start of Season 11.
Armed with a group full of amateur standouts, ONIC PH turned heads in Season 10 and where they became the first team to enter the playoffs.
They also scored surprising wins over Blacklist International and Omega Esports while also sweeping their season match-up against erstwhile champion RSG PH.
Unfortunately, ONIC PH failed to sustain their fiery start as they ended the regular season with an even 7-7 win-loss standing – good for sixth place.
The team suffered a first-round exit after getting swept by RSG PH, capping off their once magical run in 5th-6th place.
