Over the past few days, 
ONIC Philippines has seen its roster go from full, to now being almost empty. From Ryota and Assistant Coach Lyrick leaving on June 10th, 
Jefferdson “Kekedoot” Mogol, Landher Mendoza “Der” San Gabriel, and Stephen “Sensui” Castillo have all been confirmed as departing from the roster too – leaving only Super Frince and Kenneth “Nets” Barro as the building blocks moving forward. However, just yesterday ONIC posted a cryptic image on some of their social media, announcing that “Someone is coming back”.

A second image posted by ONIC revealed a few images taken from some other players, including Dlar, Kairi, and Coach Yeb, all of whom posted images on their own social media platforms. The image, seen below, was captioned with, “May nangyayari na!” (Something is happening), which leads us to believe that we already know exactly who will be in this new ONIC PH lineup for the Mobile Legends Professional League Season 12.

From what we can gather, the ONIC PH lineup for MPL PH Season 12 could look something like this:
Frince Miguel “Super Frince” Ramirez
Gerald “Dlarskie” Trinchera
Duane “Kelra” Pillas
Kairi “Kairi” Ygnacio Rayosdelsol
Allen Jedric “Baloyskie” Baloy
Coach: Paul Denver "Yeb" Lintag Miranda
Although none of this is confirmed just yet, the return of Kairi, Baloyskie, and Dlar could be extremely meaningful for an ONIC side that has struggled to keep up with the likes of ECHO and Blacklist International since their departure. Additionally, Coach Yeb’s return could lead the team back to the top of the PH standings, while Kelra is already an exceptional Gold Lane player.
As mentioned previously, none of this is confirmed, and we are patiently awaiting any official announcement from ONIC PH as to which players will be joining their roster moving forward. As it stands, if this is the roster we are set to see from the team, the top teams in the Philippines are going to have a lot more to worry about.
Update: A post via the ONIC Esports YouTube page nullifies two of these people, as Kairi and Coach Yeb are retained by the Indonesian squad We will continue to look out for changes in their PH squad and update in the coming days as we count down to Season 12.
