Kelra's Profile and Bio - Trivia

1. Kelra's Early Career with Execration

Kelra began his professional career with the Filipino esports team, Execration. There, he played in MPL Philippines Season 7 alongside Ch4knu, E2MAX, Renzio, Kielvj, and z4pnu, and was coached by P4kbet. Kelra's early career with Execration was relatively smooth, from the Regular Season all the way to the Playoffs. However, they suffered a defeat against Blacklist International in the Grand Finals. This defeat resulted in Kelra and Execration finishing as runners-up.

2. Revival with Execration - MSC 2021 Champions

Being runners-up in MPL PH Season 7 was no problem for Kelra and Execration, as they remained the Philippines' representative team in the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) 2021 alongside Blacklist International. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, MSC 2021 was held online. Execration performed well in all rounds. They did, however, drop to the Lower Bracket after losing to EVOS Legends.

However, that didn't dampen Kelra and Execration's enthusiasm and determination to become champions. The Lower Bracket proved to be an extraordinary and unexpected journey. They defeated various opponents such as Impunity, RSG MY, and even sought revenge against EVOS Legends, ultimately defeating Blacklist International to claim the MSC 2021 title. It was truly an incredible journey for Kelra at the start of his pro career.

3. A New Chapter with Omega Esports, Ups and Downs in His Career

As MSC 2021 champions, Execration was then acquired by Omega Esports for MPL PH Season 8. During this period, Kelra and his teammates' journey wasn't any easier. After a brilliant performance in the Regular Season, even qualifying for the playoffs, Omega's progress was unfortunately halted by Blacklist International, who relegated them to the Lower Bracket by ONIC PH. Kelra and his teammates ultimately lost their chance to advance to the M3 World Championship.

Entering 2022, Kelra and his teammates continued to struggle. In MPL PH Season 9, Omega's performance was arguably subpar in the Regular Season. However, in the playoffs, they managed to defeat various strong opponents. They stopped ECHO in the play-ins round. During this round, Kelra's taunting of Yawi went viral and became iconic in the MPL PH competitive scene. Despite defeating ECHO, Omega returned to the Lower Bracket after losing to TNC Pro Team.

However, there, they managed to exact revenge against ONIC PH and halt their progress. Omega also managed to avenge TNC Pro Team and succumb to RSG PH in the Grand Finals. Finishing runner-up again, Omega and RSG PH became the Philippines' representative team at MSC 2022. At MSC 2022, Omega's path was quite bumpy, unlike the previous year. Ultimately, they failed to advance to the Lower Bracket Finals after being defeated by RSG PH.

The following seasons of MPL PH were also less memorable for Kelra and Omega. Although they managed to qualify for the playoffs, their fortunes only lasted until the play-ins stage from Seasons 10-12. Ultimately, Kelra chose to start a new chapter in his career, leaving Omega and his teammates who had been with him for the past three years.

4. Joining ONIC PH, Won the MPL for the First Time!

Leaving Omega Esports, Kelra began a new chapter with ONIC PH, which later became Fnatic ONIC PH. This time, Kelra played alongside new teammates K1NGKONG, Super Frince, Kirk, and Escalera. However, he reunited with his former coaches, Ynot and E2MAX, in his inaugural season. Success wasn't instantaneous; Kelra still finished first in the playoffs with ONIC PH.

Kelra's golden age returned with MPL PH Season 14. With ONIC PH, "The Gold Standard" was unstoppable. They were so formidable in the Regular Season that no team could stop them in the playoffs, and Kelra, along with Fnatic ONIC PH, ultimately won their first MPL title. Not only did they secure the title, but Kelra and his teammates represented the Philippines with AURORA at the M6 ​​World Championship.

5. M6 World Championship Champions, The Streak Continues in 2025!

The M6 ​​World Championship marked the first MLBB World Championship, or M-Series, for Kelra and Fnatic ONIC PH. Kelra were unfazed in this competition. In fact, Fnatic ONIC PH were completely untouchable from the Swiss Stage to the Knockout Stage. They even defeated the MSC Selangor Red Giants, the champions, on their home turf, as did the MPL ID Season 14 champions, Team Liquid ID. Fnatic ONIC PH completely dominated the M6 ​​World Championship, taking a step closer to victory.

The Grand Finals proved to be no obstacle. Kelra and his teammates once again faced Team Liquid ID. Ultimately, Kelra and Fnatic ONIC PH emerged as world champions of the M6 ​​World Championship. It was truly a golden age for "The Gold Standard" and the ONIC PH "Super Family." A truly extraordinary domination at the end of 2024. ONIC PH's success didn't stop there. In early 2025, Kelra and his teammates reigned supreme once again.

They won titles ranging from the Snapdragon Pro Series to the ESL SPS Mobile Masters. However, it seemed Kelra and his teammates' "Honeymoon Phase" was over. Their fame and strength began to wane, and Kelra ultimately chose to seek new challenges by competing in the MPL Indonesia with ONIC ID. Let's wait and see what they'll do.
