Onic, Aurora retain respective cores for MPL Season 15

Onic Philippines and Aurora Gaming will bring back their respective cores when the two teams start fresh campaigns in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines Season 15 next month.

Onic is parading the exact main five that delivered the franchise's first-ever MPL title last season and the country's record-extending fifth straight world title during the M6 World Championship late last year.

Returning for the Super Family are gold laner and M6 Finals MVP Duane "Kelra" Pillas and prized jungler Cyric "K1INGKONG" Perez alongside roamer Borris "Brusko" Parro, exp laner Jann "Kirk" Guttierez, and midlaner Frince "Super Frince" Ramirez with Tony "Ynot" Senedrin still calling the shots.

Onic, though, has a new recruit in Jaylord "Hate" Gonzales who will serve as their substitute player. Hate isn't exactly a new face in the scene as he previously had a stint with the same organization when he helped steer Onic in their M3 run.

Hate also brought his act abroad in Cambodia and Malaysia before he flew back to the Philippines to join TNC Pro Team in MPL Seasons 13 and 14.

Meanwhile, Aurora won't also be doing a major lineup facelift as the Season 14 runner-up finishers will still be bannared by familiar faces.

Leading the charge once more is veteran and multi-titled exp laner Edward "Edward" Dapadap together with jungler Jonard "Demonkite" Caranto, roamer Renejay "Renejay" Barcase, gold laner Jan "Domeng" Delmundo, and midlaner Kenneth "Yue" Tadeo.

Aniel "Master The Basics" Jiandani will remain as the head coach with Dexter "Dex Star" Alaba serving as his deputy.
