“It's been quite a run, but all good things must come to an end. Thank you, Kairi. for taking on this adventure with us. We will miss this heartthrob—our bunso, aka the Future. The ONIC fam will miss you! Always keep that ONIC heart of yours burning,” said Onic PH in its announcement.

The announcement further fueled the fire on Kairi’s rumored transfer to Onic PH’s sister team, Onic Esports of Indonesia, joining also the squad's former coach Denver “Yeb” Miranda.

Multiple reports earlier revealed the transfer of the two although there was no official announcement yet on the part of the Indonesian powerhouse team. Coach Yeb, however, already had an appearance with the crew during their run in the recently concluded MSC 2022.

The decision to release Kairi also offered more questions than answers, especially about the plans of the Onic PH which seemingly went on a major revamp during the off-season.

Aside from Kairi and coach Yeb, the M3 World Championship second-runner up has also released roamers Ian “Beemo” Sergio and Mico “Micophobia” Quitlong.

Still left in the crew are star EXP lane, Gerald “Dlar” Trinchera, Marky “Markyyy” Capacio, veteran playmaker Allen “Baloyskie” Baloy, Jaylord “Hatred” Gonzales and backup Nowee “Ryota” Macasa.
