After years in esports scene, ML pro players unveil fruits of labor

Aspiring players could only wish a lavish life once they enter the professional esports scene. But it still hits differently when these young athletes witness their dreams turn into reality.

You can ask Mobile Legends professional players in former Nexplay Solid sidelaner Michal Bhien “MB” Esquillo and Blacklist International team captain Jonmar “OhmyV33nus” Villaluna who both shared their dream house plans in their respective vlogs.

MB, a longtime member of the famous Aether clan led by figurehead and Nexplay Evos assistant coach Setsuna “Dogie” Ignacio, remained in disbelief as he finally sees the fruit of his labor in his five years of work as a pro player, content creator, and game streamer.

“Grabe parang dati lang sa school tinatanong ako lagi ng teacher ko 'sa tingin mo sino ka 5 years from now.' Wala ako laging maisip na isasagot kasi di ako sure sa future ko noon, kase 'nung mga time na yun, ML na ML ako nun. Kaya lagi kong sagot dyan, gusto ko maging 'businessman' para pag naging successful kahit papano hawak ko oras ko, makakapag ML parin ako,” MB shared in a lengthy post in his official Facebook page while sharing a link to his vlog.

Although still under renovation, the two-storey house in Tagaytay, MB still couldn’t believe he can buy a house just by playing games.

“Hanep after 5 years nangyare nga. Di ko akalain na yung paglalaro ko lang, ML pala yung sagot sa mga pangarap ko sa buhay. Para kong nananaginip isipin mo nag seselpon lng ako, malay ko rin bang magkakaganito ko,” MB added.

Meanwhile, although no house has been built yet, Ohmy33nus is already elated to finally have his own lot he dubbed as his own “OhmyLupain”. In a vlog, OhmyV33nus shared the groundbreaking ceremony of the future site of his new house in Antipolo complete with the golden shovel.

OhmyV33nus aims to complete his new house by the end of the year.

“Biggest achievement in my life and makabili ng lupa and then malapit na rin tayuan ng bahay. Hopefully, matapos natin before Christmas” said OhmyV33nus who have been in the professional scene since the MPL Philippines Season 4 in 2019.

The other half of the Blacklist dynamic duo with Danerie “Wise” Del Rosario, OhmyV33nus has since won two MPL Championships in Seasons 7 and 8 and the M3 World Championships where his team bagged a total of $300,000 or roughly around P15 million.
