Coach Yeb’s contributions to the team
Coach Yeb joined ONIC PH during MPL Philippines Season 8. In his debut season with the squad, he led the team to second place, securing a slot at the M3 World Championship alongside Blacklist International.
They were unstoppable in the upper bracket playoffs of the M3 World Championship, winning 3-0 against Singapore’s RSG SG, Indonesia’s RRQ Hoshi, and North America’s BTK to secure the first grand final slot. Unfortunately, their luck ran out after they were swept by Blacklist International in a best-of-seven grand final.
After a solid MPL PH Season 8 and M3 World Championship campaign, fans were expecting ONIC Philippines to dominate MPL PH Season 9 with their unchanged lineup.
However, they only finished fourth in the playoffs after getting swept by RSG PH in the upper bracket semifinal and Smart Omega in the lower bracket semifinal in a best-of-three series.
There are still no announcements on where the veteran coach is headed next.
