In the ever-evolving world of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, one player’s cryptic social media post has sparked a wildfire of speculation. Kairi “Kairi” Rayosdelsol, the seasoned player who once donned the Onic Esports jersey, dropped a hint on Facebook that has fans buzzing about a possible return to the Philippines and a reunion with Blacklist International.
The enigmatic post in question features Kairi confidently declaring he’s ‘Vibin’ in black.’ A seemingly innocuous statement took a mysterious turn when he left a comment that sent the MLBB community into a frenzy: ‘Black as in BLCK? So MINANA KAIRI?’
Kairi’s journey in the professional scene began with the Codebreakers in Season 6, operating under the alias FULLCLIP. Following a stint with Onic Philippines as a midlaner, he ventured overseas, contributing his skills to Onic Esports in Indonesia.
The plot thickens when we turn to the insights of Johnmar “OhMyV33nus” Villaluna, who, during a livestream after the M5 World Championship finale, dropped intriguing details about the upcoming offseason, with a specific focus on Kairi.
When fans probed V33nus about Kairi’s potential move to RSG PH, she threw a curveball by referencing Demonkite and the uncertainties surrounding RSG’s lineup. But then came the bombshell statement that has set the rumor mill into overdrive: “Ito ang sure ako, kung next season hindi ako magugulat kung nasa PH si Kairi. Hindi ako magugulat.”
This revelation fueled speculation of Kairi’s return to his homeland, and more specifically, a potential reunion with Blacklist International. The prospect of Kairi rejoining the ‘Bataan Boys’—Renejay “Renejay” Barcarse, Edward “Edward” Jay Dapadap, and Kristoffer “BON CHAN” Ricaplaza—adds a nostalgic layer to the storyline.
“Kairi to Blacklist daw ulit? Hindi malabo. Kayang pasahuran ng Blacklist yun,” V33nus emphasized during the livestream. Her conviction stems from the strong bonds Kairi shares with his former teammates, particularly Edward.
While the prospect of a reunion appears promising, V33nus shed light on potential complications. The wildcard in this scenario is Coach Yeb, and V33nus hinted at some behind-the-scenes drama dating back to Season 11. “Pero iiwanan kaya niya si Coach Yeb, and ayan nga meron akong tsismiss tungkol diyan. Season 11 pa lang may idea na ako tungkol kay Coach Yeb and Kairi kung sino bet nilang team kung nasa PH sila.”
The plot thickens as fans eagerly await the unveiling of Kairi’s next chapter in the Mobile Legends universe. Will he, indeed, return to Blacklist International and embrace the nostalgia of reuniting with his former teammates? The answers remain shrouded in mystery, with the only certainty being the excitement that Kairi’s cryptic clues have injected into the MLBB community.
