Heartbreaks have faded and Onic Philippines is ready to move forward as it dethroned its longtime rival Aura Philippines after a dominant 3-0 sweep in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Pro League-Philippines (MPL-PH) Season 6 Friday night.
Flaunting its fluid team play in three games, Onic finally avenged its grand finals setbacks to Aura in the last two seasons.

Wise went to rack up four kills and seven assists while Dlar tallied five kills and eight assists to lead Onic to a 15-8 win in just 12 minutes.
It was the queen's turn in Game 2 as Johnmar "OhMyV33NUS" Villaluna's Pharsa dished out over 67k magic burst damage to fuel Onic's 21-9 rout in nearly 15 minutes.
