Widely regarded as one of the finest gold laners in the MPL scene, Grant “Kelra” Pillas is set for a new chapter with ONIC Indonesia after parting ways with ONIC Philippines.
In a matter of minutes, Grant “Kelra” Pillas closed one chapter and opened another in his storied MLBB career.
The “Gold Standard” officially parted ways with ONIC Philippines on Friday, ending a two-year tenure that cemented his status as one of the most decorated players in MLBB history.
Moments later, Kelra revealed his next move, joining ONIC Indonesia—the reigning two-time MPL Indonesia champions.
Kelra first joined ONIC PH in 2024 and made an immediate impact, winning MPL Philippines Season 14 and earning Finals MVP honors after a grueling seven-game showdown against Aurora Gaming PH.
His run of success didn’t stop there.
Alongside the “Super Family,” the gold laner went undefeated en route to the M6 World Championship, once again claiming Finals MVP honors.

With those triumphs, Kelra became the first player to win Finals MVP awards across all three major MLBB tournaments: MPL PH, MSC, and the M-Series.
In MPL PH Season 15, Kelra and ONIC PH fell short against eventual champions Team Liquid PH, later settling for bronze at MSC 2025.
