Their momentum continued as they handed reigning World Champions ONIC Philippines a shocking 2-1 defeat. Renejay Barcase led the charge, showcasing Aurora’s capability to challenge top-tier teams.

Here, we recap Aurora’s regular season performance with photos from ALL-STAR‘s photographer Richard Dizon Esguerra.

Week 1 – The Statement

No one knew what to expect from Aurora, but Aurora made sure their Season 15 debut was unforgettable. A clean sweep of Twisted Minds showed their firepower, but it was the upset over defending world champions ONIC PH that truly turned heads. With Renejay calling the shots and Domengkite dealing deadly blows, Aurora immediately positioned themselves as the new monster in the world’s most notorious MLBB region.

Week 2 – The Belief Grows

In a clash that had no business being this good this early, Aurora went toe-to-toe with the newbloods of AP BREN. After dropping Game 1, they rallied back with iron resolve, taking Games 2 and 3 in a dramatic reverse sweep. Suddenly, the newbloods had just been schooled with veteran moves from Aurora.

Week 3 – Grit in the Grind

Week 3 tested Aurora’s nerves. Omega pushed them to the edge, and TNC nearly stole a series. But again, Aurora clutched it out. They didn’t just win—they learned how to suffer through long games, how to dig deep when their early leads collapsed. These weren’t highlight-reel wins. These were battle-hardened ones.

Week 5 – The First Fall, Then Fire

The streak ended. And it stung. In a clash against the league’s Team Falcons, Aurora was handed their first loss. It exposed cracks—sloppy rotations, hesitation under pressure. But a day earlier, they picked up a crucial victory against top-seeded Team Liquid.

Week 6 – Pushing AP BREN to the Brink of Elimination

Aurora met AP BREN again and but this time around, the stakes were higher. Playoffs were approaching, and Aurora looked scarier than ever. AP BREN was desperate for a win that Aurora was not willing to give. They closed the door on the Hive with a resounding 2:0. Lights up, lights out.

Week 7 & 8 – Finishing Strong

Aurora closed the regular season exactly how they opened it: with solid wins and full control. Although Aurora lost in the rematch against Team Liquid in Week 8, it avenged itself in the rematch against Team Falcons, which defeated them in the first round. Aurora locked the second seed with a league-best 12-2 record, tied with Liquid but behind on the tiebreak.
