Boss Rada Speaks Out About Bon Chan’s “Last Dance”
In the past couple of days, veteran MLBB esports coach Bonn Ricaplaza, aka Coach Bon Chan, has stirred the MLBB community with his posts in which he revealed he wants to bring back together the original main five of Blacklist International, that is, OhMyV33nus, Wise, Edward, Oheb, and Hadji. He even posted a screenshot of a group chat among themselves, in which Bon Chan was seemingly inviting the group for “one last dance.”

Inevitably, this has caused somewhat of an uproar in the local esports community, with speculation and rumor mills going into overdrive. Is Bon Chan retiring? Will there still be Blacklist International in MPL-PH Season 15? Will Blacklist’s OG Main Five come together under Tier One’s banner again?
Elrasec Ocampo, aka Boss Rada, spoke to ALL-STAR about Bon Chan’s so-called “Last Dance.”
Boss Rada: “We all know it’s for the hype.”

“I understand where he is coming from. But we all know that it’s all for the hype,” Boss Rada told ALL-STAR.
Boss Rada is a former manager at Blacklist International and current country head of AURORA, the current team of Edward, OhMyV33nus, and Wise.
“I’m into it, ang sarap din naman pakinggan, alam mong inaabangan pa rin siya ng mga fans ng MLBB, fans man ng Blacklist o hindi.”
According to Boss Rada, the OG Main Five evoke the same sense of nostalgia and longing for a reunion as disbanded rock bands do, leaving fans eager to see them together again.
“Parang nabuo na ng main five yung legacy nila before, and parang Eraserheads lang yung dating, di ba? Napanood ko kasi yung trailer ng Eraserheads movie! Feeling ko may ganoong effect yung main five,” said Rada.
But will AURORA lend Edward and VeeWise to Bon Chan?
“If that’s possible, go. But in the MPL, I believe that’s not going to happen anymore, that’s the sad reality of the situation,” Boss Rada told ALL-STAR.
“But let’s say, for example, in a show match, or for anything that’s impacting just to see the five players, why not?” he added.
But what are the chances the OG Main Five would come together again in the MPL?
“Ah, wala na. Sobrang labo na noon. Never gonna happen na. Mangyari man yun, baka show match na lang or baka matatanda na sila,” Boss Rada told ALL-STAR.
So what could be cooking in Bon Chan’s kitchen? Rada hazards a guess.
“Ang akin lang, if there will be a match between the main five and the prime team in the MPL, why not? At least, doon, mailalabas yung level of competition nila di ba.”
