The match between ONIC Esports and EVOS Esports in the upper bracket semifinals of MPL ID Season 16 had been one of the most intense battles of the season. Both powerhouse teams traded blows throughout five thrilling games, before ONIC finally emerged victorious with a tight 3–2 scoreline. Yet behind that victory, fans began to worry about ONIC’s star jungler, Kairi, who seemed to be unwell during the series.

From the very start, observant viewers noticed that Kairi didn’t look as lively as usual. He appeared paler than normal and kept wearing a jacket even inside the air-conditioned venue. Several fans began speculating that Kairi had been sick, especially since his facial expressions showed signs of fatigue—even though his performance remained steady throughout the grueling five-game showdown.

Despite that, Kairi had still played phenomenally. He had showcased his trademark mechanics and lightning-fast decision-making in crucial moments. His signature heroes such as Hayabusa and Ling had continued to shine, leading ONIC to secure a slot in the upper bracket final and keeping their championship hopes alive in MPL ID Season 16.

This situation led to a wave of curiosity among fans: Was Kairi sick while facing EVOS? Would his health condition affect ONIC’s performance in the remaining playoff matches? To clear the air, Dunia Games reached out to ONIC’s camp for clarification about the rumors.

Kairi’s Illness Confirmed

After the match, Dunia Games had the opportunity to speak with Coach Paddington, one of ONIC Esports’ analysts, to ask about Kairi’s health situation. The coach offered a reassuring update regarding the Kairi sick speculation.

“Kairi’s condition has been getting better. We can say that he’s already starting to feel fit again, and he’s fine to continue through the playoffs,” said Coach Paddington to Dunia Games.

This statement eased public concern over the possibility that Kairi was seriously sick. The coach clarified that Kairi had only experienced a slight drop in physical condition—something normal given the intense practice schedule and immense pressure of the MPL ID playoffs. With proper care and rest, the ONIC jungler had since recovered and was ready to perform at his best in upcoming matches.

Even though Kairi had been sick, his determination and resilience proved his world-class caliber. Competing at such a high level while under the weather was a testament to his strength, focus, and championship mentality. His clutch performance to help ONIC reach the upper bracket final only reinforced his reputation as one of the best junglers in the world of Mobile Legends.

Now, ONIC and Kairi have been preparing for the upper bracket final—a challenge that will undoubtedly test their limits once again. But with his health improving, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The news that Kairi was sick might have sparked concern, but one thing has become crystal clear: the “Filipino Pride” has shown that a champion’s spirit never falters, even in the face of physical adversity.
