ONIC Kelra on ‘GOAT’ talks: ‘Ang dami pang kulang’

EVEN with the accolades and recognitions he achieved throughout his career, ONIC gold laner Grant “Kelra” Pillas remains modest on the idea of him being regarded as ML:BB’s greatest of all time (GOAT).

After getting swept in Week 3 by Team Liquid PH, ONIC PH managed to get its revenge in Week 7 after a close 2-1 series win.

“‘Di kami gigil. Mas hindi kami gigil ngayon. Kasi nu’ng time na natalo kami, gigil kami. Kumbaga binalance lang namin. Nasa gitna lang ng gigil at kalmado,” Kelra on going against TLPH.

In their match of the week, the spotlight was on him and TLPH jungler Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, as the two players are listed among discussions on who deserves to be called “GOAT of PH ML:BB.

Throughout his career, Karltzy has won three domestic titles, two world championships and three MVP awards for himself. His team sits currently at the second of the standings, with him as the centerpiece for most of their matches alongside his newfound “Babycakes Duo”, TLPH gold laner Kiel “Oheb” Q.Soriano.

On the other hand, alongside their M6 championship last year, ONIC PH followed with two more international tournaments to their name, including the recently concluded ESL SPS Mobile Masters 2025 in Jakarta. The Gold Standard achieved numerous MVP awards to his names as well, across different tournaments inside and outside the country.

But even with the well-deserved trophies and admirable wins, Kelra personally believes that there’s still so much for him and his team to achieve before getting his name included in the GOAT discussion.

“Para sa akin, ang dami pang kulang. Kasi kung magiging GOAT ka, mahaba-haba ‘yun. Parang wala pa nga kaming isang taon tuloy-tuloy na nag-champion.”

“Masasabi ko lang ‘yan siguro pag kagaya nu’ng kay (Michael) Jordan e. ‘Yun yung GOAT talaga. ‘Yun talaga ‘yung masasabi kong GOAT kasi dalawang three-peat. Sobrang hirap gawin noon. Back-to-back nga lang, sobrang hirap na e. Kaya para sa akin, hindi pa ko maco-consider na GOAT,” Kelra added.

For Kelra, he still thinks Karltzy suits the title more than him right now.

“Kay Karl kasi, mayroon siyang SIBOL, ‘yung pangalan niya hindi nawalan ng tunog sa ML:BB kahit nu’ng nagtatatalo sila noong BREN sila noong season 8. Nandoon pa rin pangalan niya, ‘di nawawala.”

“Kaya para sa akin si Karl kasi, ang dami niya rin achievements tapos (sobrang) leader talaga siya.“, he added.
