It is now official after months of rumors, which included some cryptic Tiktok and Facebook story posts.
Onic PH has officially announced on social media that coach Paul Denver “Yeb” Miranda is no longer a member of the organization.
Onic stated on their Facebook page that: “He is more than a coach. He served as the backbone of our strength, he served as the foundation to the team and he brought out the fire and passion of our players.”.
“We would like to thank Paul Denver ‘Coach Yebmaester’ for his time with Onic. We will make sure to bring and uphold all the lessons and advice you have brought to us. More importantly, Coach Yeb has taught us not only to have fun but to have fun as a family.
“Thank you for teaching us that no matter what happens, we are a family here at Onic no matter where we go. May you still live on with all the love and memories that we have formed not just as a coach, but also as a family.”
Where will Onic Ph’s former coach go?
Expectations were high for Onic PH to take advantage of a V33Wise-less Blacklist International in Season 9 after they placed second in the M3 World Championship.
Sadly, they only managed to place fourth in Season 9.
Why did the formerly powerful Onic PH play poorly under Coach Yeb? Some mentioned the MLBB’s meta adjustments or their competitors’ consistent advancements.
However, there were further options that the industry subtly suggested. Coach “BON CHAN” Ricaplaza of the Blacklist revealed in his vlog that something was going on inside the bootcamp.
Then there’s Paul Ian “Beemo” Sergio, who made a startling revelation about the team’s M3 victories while appearing live on Eat Bulaga.
A screenshot from the MSC showed that Coach Yeb was with Onic Indonesia in the backstage area while these rumors and indications reappeared. Is this going to be his new team?
Coach Yeb refuted these rumors on the Filipino MSC broadcast, saying that the guy in the backstage area is merely a lookalike.
