MANILA - Filipino Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League champions Blacklist International place second in the One Esports Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Invitational (MPLI) after succumbing to MPL - Indonesia champs Onic Indonesia in a 3-1 clash. Since both squads emerged as champs of their respective MPL tournaments, they automatically secured quarterfinal slots and subsequently booked the most highly-anticipated match, which others describe as a preview to the world championship. With Johnmar &quot;OhMyV33nus&quot; Villaluna&#x27;s Estes left out in the open to draft, Blacklist employed its signature &quot;UBE&quot; strategy to dominate against Onic ID in Game 1. Game 2 between both squads was a tug-of war. But Sanz &quot;S A N Z&quot; Gilang&#x27;s Yi Sun Shin dealt problems towards Blacklist, quickly bursting down the Philippine champs&#x27; heroes in team fights to place Onic ID at a subsequent advantage and equalize. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/06/21/mobile-legends-blacklist-enter-mpli-semis-rsg-ph-eliminated">Mobile Legends: Blacklist take down Bigetron Alpha, RSG PH bow out</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/10/25/21/esports-blacklist-members-emotional-after-mpl-s8-win">Why was Blacklist more emotional over their second title win?</a></li></ul>Onic ID banked on yet another dominant game for Game 3 to place themselves at match point, with all but one of their turrets intact. Game 4 saw Onic ID steal Salic &quot;Hadji&quot; Imam&#x27;s Chou, which eventually put the Indonesians up to advantage. With only Edward &quot;EDWARD&quot; Dapadap&#x27;s Paquito staying alive and the base left standing, Blacklist was able to hold its defenses after the EXP laner eked out a double kill by their base around 16 minutes in. As the rest of Blacklist recuperated, they marched on to the Onic&#x27;s base to counter. But a countergo by Onic, capped off with S A N Z&#x27;s Natan doing a triple kill on Blacklist&#x27;s players, and eventually obliterated the Filipino champs&#x27; base to secure the title. S A N Z was MVP for games 2 and 3 while Onic rookie Calvin &quot;CW&quot; Winata&#x27;s Chou took the MVP nod for Game 4. Meanwhile, Kiel Calvin &quot;OHEB&quot; Soriano&#x27;s Lunox took the MVP nod in Game 1 with his signature Lunox. In an earlier match, Blacklist defeated MPL - Indonesia runner-up RRQ in a tightly-contested 2-1 victory. RRQ tried to clip Danerie James &quot;Wise&quot; Del Rosario&#x27;s hero choices, taking Wise&#x27;s Yi Sun Shin, and drafting his Aldous for their own use. But Blacklist&#x27;s knowledge of the Aldous put them at an advantage, as they contained the mega-punching hero and amassed enough resources to place itself at an advantage throughout Game 1. RRQ banked on early-game dominance in Game 2 to equalize, keeping Blacklist to just two kills. MPL - Indonesia&#x27;s runners-up was the better team to start Game 3, responding well to Blacklist&#x27;s exploits.But a crucial shot call by Johnmar &quot;OhMyV33nus&quot; Villaluna to take down the Luminous Lord with their opponents recuperating by the base caught RRQ off guard, allowing Blacklist to eliminate two of RRQ&#x27;s players and subsequently wipe them off the map to secure the grand finals slot. <div>BLACKLIST roster</div>COACH: Kristoffer Ed &quot;BON CHAN&quot; Ricaplaza<ul>	<li>Johnmar &quot;OhMyV33nus&quot; Villaluna (captain)</li>	<li>Danerie James &quot;Wise&quot; Del Rosario</li>	<li>Kiel Calvin &quot;OHEB&quot; Soriano</li>	<li>Salic A &quot;Hadji&quot; Imam</li>	<li>Edward &quot;EDWARD&quot; Jay Dapadap</li>	<li>Mark Jayson &quot;ESON&quot; Gerardo</li>	<li>Dexter Louise &quot;DEX STAR&quot; Alaba</li></ul>
