Do you want to upgrade your game and make your passion into a profession? Let’s get some advice from Onic PH.
Onic Philippines is known as one of the greatest Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) esports teams in the Philippines. They have won awards in major competitions such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Philippines (MPL) since its fourth season. Besides, they also represent our country in international tournaments such as the M3 Worldwide Championships, where they finished first runner-up in December 2021.
For practice in preparation for the ongoing MPL season 9, Onic PH uses the Infinix NOTE 10 Pro (2022) as their go-to smartphone. To recall, this phone was released with an upgraded MediaTek Helio G95 chipset and 256GB ROM which can run ML smoothly. Marking the release of this phone, Onic PH revealed their tips for improving your game and possibly joining the pro leagues.
Gaming requires hard work.
Gerald “Dlar” Trinchera, a founding member of the team since its establishment in 2019, said, “Contrary to what others think that being a pro gamer is easy, it’s difficult. My humble beginnings saw me using a desktop with a PC emulator to play MLBB because I was determined to learn and play even if I didn’t have a phone for gaming. It’s very easy to lose sight of your dream if the environment is not ideal, but with hard work and perseverance, you can get through it.”
He also added that “If there’s one thing that sets pro players apart from non-pro players, it’s that they believe they have what it takes to be the best of the best.”
Be battle ready.
Nothing beats practice when it comes to improving your gaming abilities. Jaylord “Hatred” Gonzales shared that they spend 10 hours daily improving their capabilities and analyzing their gameplay. “Don’t just enter matches without a plan in mind. Formulate a plan and try it out. It will give you valuable learnings for your next game. When we were strategizing our game plan for M3, we tested role swapping like turning junglers to exp laner or mid laner to gold laner to test how our team dynamics would go. It turned out very well because we discovered new strength in each player, greatly contributing to us becoming a finalist.”
Kairi “Kairi” Rayosdelsol highlights the importance of using a reliable smartphone that can keep up with your needs. “We enjoy using Infinix NOTE 10 Pro (2022) for our practice matches because it has a very smooth performance thanks to its MediaTek Helio G95 chipset and can hold up to long hours of gaming. Since it has a bigger 256GB storage, we can make sure to keep our MLBB app up to date, alongside other apps that we use daily.”
Unity in anything. Surround yourself with people who will always get your back.
“Having a supportive environment allows us to have self-confidence and help cope with challenges. ONIC players assure each teammate that if one falls, the team picks him up, and if one plays strong, the team rises to match the better player’s standard. This way, we will be able to uplift each other’s performance,” Marky “Markyyyyy” Capacio said.
Don’t forget to have fun.
Gaming started as a casual hobby for ONIC’s members, but they soon discovered that being professional comes with pressure and expectations. However, they still remember to enjoy.
