MV3 in, VeeWise out for Blacklist International’s MPL-PH S13 roster

Albeit having no Royal Duo, the MV3 is back in the game, and ready to take charge for MPL Philippines Season 13.

The Codebreakers will be led by Salic “Hadji” Imam, who will take the roamer’s seat for this season, as Blacklist star Renejay “Renejay” Barcarse will be taking a break for this season after his debut run in the M5 stage last year.

Also returning to the Blacklist International roster are M3 World Champions Kiel “Oheb” Soriano on the gold lane, and Edward Jay “Edward” Dapadap on the exp lane.

They will be joined by two of their MPL-PH  stalwarts: Kenneth “Yue” Tadeo on the mid lane, and Stephen “Sensui” Castillo as jungler.

Rounding out the roster is Kim “Kimpoy” dela Cruz and Mark Jayson “Eson” Gerado, and their four-man coaching staff: Analyst Justin “Calad” Limbo, Assistant Coaches Dexter “Dex Star” Alaba, Kristoffer “Bon Chan” Ricaplaza, and the returning head coach Aniel “Master The Basics” Jiandani.

This ends speculations so far about the possible return of Johnmar “OhmyV33nus” Villaluna and Danerie James “Wise” del Rosario to the Blacklist roster. 

In a statement, Blacklist International said, “the management of Blacklist International has mutually agreed with OhyMyV33nus and Wise for them to continue their hiatus from competitive play. They will take this time to focus on other endeavors such as streaming, content creation, and other professional matters. We hope you continue to support The Royal Duo in whatever they pursue and know that they will always be part of Blacklist International.”

Blacklist International has won three MPL Philippines titles (S7, S8 and S10), as well as the M3 World Championship in 2022. The said organization is the esports arm of Tier One Entertainment.
