Fittingly, the new season launched with the highly-anticipated matchup between newcomersAurora Gamingand stalwartsBlacklist International.
In their debut match at MPL PH, Aurora soundly swept Blacklist in a thoroughly one-sided series.
A brewing rivalry?
The former Blacklist star duo of Jonmar OhMyV33nus Villaluna and Danerie Wise Rosario also left Blacklist.
However, they remain inactive from competitive play and now serve as Aurora’s Esports & Gaming Content Directors.
Rounding out Aurora’s roster were Jonard Demonkite Caranto, Jan Dominic ‘Domeng Delmundo, and Ben Benthings Maglaque.
Yue spearheaded Aurora’s victory in the series opener with a perfect two-kill, five-assist performance on Zhask.
