Oheb Shuts Down Transfer Talk

MPL’s star gold laner Kiel Soriano, better known to fans as Oheb, shut down rumors that he’s leaving MLBB esports for its rival title, Honor of Kings (HOK).

His aggressive laning, sharp mechanics, and iconic Beatrix plays turned him into a fan favorite and a central figure in Blacklist’s dynasty years. Even after stepping away from the Blacklist roster, he has remained one of the scene’s most recognizable names.

Content creator Hot-E pressed him on the issue: “Clarification lang ito, ang daming usap-usapan noong nakita kang nanonood sa ibang game. Lilipat ka daw?”
(“This is just for clarification, because rumors started spreading after you were seen watching a different game. Are you transferring?”)

“Hindi, hindi,” Oheb replied. (“No, no, [I’m not transferring].”)

“Bakit ka nandoon?” (“Why were you there?”)

“Nandoon ako para i-support yung old team ko, Blacklist, kasi pasok sila sa semifinals n’on so nanood ako ng laban nila para suportahan sila. Family ko yon, family!”
(“I was there to support my old team, Blacklist, because they made it to the semifinals so I watched their match as a gesture of support. They’re my family!”)
