Jay is a veteran player who is widely known for his impressive tank gameplays especially, on his favorite hero Kaja, which earned him the nickname of “KaJay.” Before joining ONIC PH, Jay achieved multiple victories under MPL PH Season 3 champions ArkAngel Esports and participated in the 2019 SEA Games where his ML team Sibol PH earned the gold medal. He eventually transferred to ONIC PH during MPL PH Season 5 and has since been one of their best players under the roaming role. The reason for his departure from the team has yet to be announced and it is still unknown which team he will compete with at future tournaments.

Being one of the veteran players of ONIC PH, Jason “Jay” Torculas has been one of the vital members of the team. He was part of the team’s MPL PH Season 5 roster, where they dominated the tournament until eventually suffering defeat at the hands of back-to-back season 4 and 5 champions Sunsparks. During the MPL PH Season 7, ONIC PH managed to qualify for the playoffs but was knocked out of the league on the first day by Execration.

Jay also made a Facebook post stating that he was thankful for the opportunity that ONIC PH gave him and wished the team luck for the MPL PH Season 8.
“Thank you for the 3 Seasons ONIC PH! GL (Good Luck) on Season 8 idol, I love you all,” Jay stated in his Facebook post.
The reason behind the pro player’s departure and which team he will be joining for the upcoming tournament remains a mystery. ONIC PH is yet to reveal its plans for the upcoming MPL PH Season 8.
With the MPL PH Season 8 on the horizon, Jay is currently one of the players who are confirmed to have left their previous teams. Others who have made similar moves include Dexter "Exort" Martinez from Nexplay Esports, Joshua "Aspect" Tating from Playbook Esports, and Douglas "ImbaDeejay" Joseph Bondoc Astibe II from Cignal Ultra. With recent reports of the next season shifting to a franchise model, it will be interesting to see these pro players performing with their new teams in the upcoming MPL PH Season 8. Onic PH's confirmed MLBB members for 2021 are currently not known.
