The coach noted that the opposing team was well-prepared, especially in drafting, and exploited ONIC's weaknesses. He also emphasized that the current slump requires urgent changes within the team.
I think AP.Bren was very well-prepared. Even at the drafting stage, it was clear they knew how we prioritize heroes—they immediately built a comfortable strategy for themselves. It was evident that they felt at ease.
ONIC appeared overwhelmed against AP.Bren's confident play, which dominated the map, amassing a lead of up to 10,000 gold. This marks ONIC's second consecutive defeat—previously, the team had a four-win streak and was among the top three in MPL PH S16.
Honestly, it was the strangest and weakest performance since we've been playing together. There were many 'what ifs' after the match. But overall—AP.Bren, from coaches to players, showed an excellent level.
The Team Seeks Solutions
Following a series of setbacks, the coach admitted that the team needs urgent adjustments. He noted that internal issues have become particularly noticeable in recent weeks.
The fight for the playoffs is very tight. No offense to AP.Bren, but I see that we have problems we must address.
ONIC Retains Chances for the Upper Bracket
Despite the slump, ONIC remains in the top three and still has a chance to reach the upper bracket of the playoffs. The outcome of the upcoming matches will determine whether the team can stay at the top or risks sliding down the standings.
It's tough, but we're professionals. We need to lift our spirits and move forward," concluded Ynot.
