ONIC Esports (abbreviated as ONIC) is a Southeast Asian esport team founded in Indonesia by Justin Widjaja and Rob Clinton Kardinal in 2018.
They participate in competitive esports division leagues in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Free Fire, Pokemon Unite, and Honor of Kings. Initially, the team started with a division in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, joining MPL Indonesia during Season 2. [1]
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
[edit]History
[edit]ONIC Esports has two main teams in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: one competing in MPL Indonesia and the other in MPL Philippines. The Indonesian team has been active in MPL Indonesia since Season 2, while the Philippine team entered MPL Philippines in Season 4.
The Indonesian team has a sister team, ONIC Prodigy, competing in MDL Indonesia as their official second squad. Meanwhile, the Philippine team has a sister team, ONIC Arsenals, which is currently collaborating with Nine Lives for MDL Philippines
As of the start of the 2025 season, ONIC Esports has won every premier tournament organized by Moonton, making it one of the first organization to achieve this feat. Their titles include six MPL Indonesia and one MPL Philippines championships, two MPL Invitational (MPLI 2021 and MPLI 2022 with ONIC Indonesia), two MSC titles (MSC 2019 and MSC 2023 with ONIC Indonesia), and one M World Championship titles (M6 with ONIC Philippines).
Partnership with Fnatic
[edit]On 20 May 2024, ONIC Philippines partnered with the London-based organization Fnatic ahead of the MPL Philippines playoffs.[2] Subsequently, ONIC Indonesia announced their own partnership with Fnatic through an Instagram post that signified the ONIC porcupine logo embedded with the Fnatic logo.[3] This signifies Fnatic's entry in the MLBB professional scene alongside Team Liquid whom acquired STUN.GG, owners of AURA Fire and ECHO Philippines, the latter being renamed to Liquid ECHO. Their partnership ended on 4 January 2025.
