But ONIC is one of the names that has remained a monolith in the scene.
Three of the starting members of that team were former members of Blacklist International, even their coaches too.
It’s respectable but not surprising, considering how much talent they have.
They did it in style, with seven wins out of seven matches.
FNOP only recruited Jeniel YellyHaze Bata-Anon as assistant coach, however, leaving the analyst position unfilled.
A mid-table finish was predicted for the team based on their performance last season.
The first week was a test for their new lineup.
However, fans were surprised when Spider-Milez got benched in favour of Brusko.
However, they did get a 2-0 win over TNC and a 2-1 against Blacklist International.
The lineup would stay for the next three weeks as they got win after win in the league.
They completely wiped the league clean.
Why are FNOP better than every team in the league?
Was it because both teams' strategies haven’t been that effective anymore?
Or was it because Fnatic ONIC PH got some secret magic that everyone couldn’t see?
His stars did not shine through, as there was a brighter star in the form ofDuane Kelra Pillas.
This was the moment for K1NGKONG to shine.
This was why Kelra played a much safer Gold Lane, and Kirk was sometimes abandoned alone.
Kelra, on the other hand, proved to be their not-so-hidden ace.
