After upset loss in M4, OhMyV33nus vows 'this is still not the last of us' for Blacklist

Blacklist International fell short in their quest for back-to-back world titles after falling prey to compatriot Echo in a sweep in their Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M4 World Championship grand finals showdown on Sunday. 

But veteran roamer Johnmar "OhMyV33nus" Villaluna said their work is far from done. 

In a Facebook post shortly after the loss, the 28-year-old OhMyV33nus expressed her feelings, saying where they are right now is not an unfamiliar situation as they have lost many games in the past that made her strong. 

"Ngayon palang nagsi-sink in yung mga nangyare at itong pakiramdam na 'to, sobrang pamilyar sakin. Yung feeling na gusto mong umiyak pero wala nang luha na lumalabas," OhMyV33nus said.

"Siguro nga dahil maraming beses na din kaming napunta sa ganitong point, at sa sobrang daming beses, parang manhid na ako."

("It's only now sinking in for me and this feeling is very familar to me, the feeling that you want to cry but there are no more tears left... Probably because we've been at this point several times, I might be numb to it now.")

OhMyV33nus vowed that the team will come back stronger as the Codebreakers are tipped to return to the ML:BB Professional League (MPL) Philippines Season 11 slated to open this February. 

"With this, I will make sure that we will come back stronger than ever. And again, THIS IS STILL NOT THE LAST OF US."

OhMyV33nus also thanked the supporters, especially those who flew to Jakarta, Indonesia to cheer on them as they went up against the best of the best ML:BB teams in the world.

"Pero despite of all these things, I still feel blessed dahil sa sobrang daming taong sumuporta sa amin, hindi lang sa Pilipinas, pati na din sa buong mundo, lalo yung mga nagpunta dito sa Indonesia at talagang nakipag-beklaban ng malala sa fans ng ibang team," she added.

"Super thankful ako sa lahat ng mga taong hindi tumigil at patuloy pa rin na nagtitiwala sa mga kakayahan namin. Grace under defeat."

("But despite all of these things, I still feel blessed because so many people supported us, not just in the Philippines, but around the world, especially those who came to Indonesia and went at it with the fans of the other teams... I am super thankful to all those who have never stopped and continue to trust in our abilities. Grace under defeat.")
