ONIC Esports releases its female talents
ONIC Esports is one of the organizations that has implemented many changes to its management. Both its Indonesian and Philippines divisions have been revamping their rosters and releasing many of their iconic talents.
Through an Instagram post on 23rd July, ONIC Esports announced the release of seven of its female talents;
Aries “Cesian”
Viorenita "VIOR" Sutanto
Lydia “Lydiaaaas” Setiawan
Anisa "anisarahim" Basyir
Gabrielle "Gebiann" Ann
Kharisma "Kayes" Cahaya
Vonny "Vonzy" Felicia
One of the released talents, Vior, had the opportunity to join ONIC Esports in its journey in the MPL ID Season 9 as the team’s substitute Mid Laner. The team was able to achieve a runner-up finish, earning itself a ticket to the Mobile Legends Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) 2022. However, Vior was not included in ONIC Esports’ roster for the regional championship.
The esports organization has been making drastic changes since the off-season, especially its Philippines division. However, according to ONIC PH, the organization is merely trying to rebuild its brand. The Indonesian division, on the other hand, is yet to announce its reasons for releasing its female talents. Fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for upcoming updates.
