Three monumental players in the Philippine Mobile Legends: Bang Bang competitive scene will be taking a break during MPL PH Season 9.
M3 World Championship winner and Blacklist International’s iconic duo Johnmar “OhMyV33nus” Villaluna, Daenerie James “Wise” Del Rosario, and TNC star Adrian “Toshi” Bacallo have announced that they will sit out next season due to personal reasons.
Blacklist International’s Wise and OhMyV33nus made the decision to skip MPL PH Season 9
In a social media announcement on Blacklist International’s Facebook page, the organization reiterated that the duo of OhMyV33nus and Wise will be taking a break, but will remain with the organization.
“Both the players and the management agreed that this is the perfect time to take their much-needed break that will better equip them for another run in season 10, and a chance to defend our world championship title,” the organization wrote.
OhMyV33nus and Wise have been a strong force over the last few seasons, and were a crucial to Blacklist International’s back-to-back championship in MPL PH Seasons 7 and 8.
Their biggest achievement with the black and white squad is winning the prestigious M3 World Championship last December 19, 2021.
