Kiel “Oheb” Soriano makes the leap from MLBB to Honor of Kings

In a move that has electrified the Philippine esports community, Kiel “Oheb” Soriano, one of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’s most decorated gold laners has officially embarked on a bold new chapter. 

After years of competitive success in MLBB, the former champion is now stepping into the vibrant universe of Honor of Kings (HOK), marking a significant shift in both his personal journey and the broader esports landscape.

Oheb’s transfer to Honor of Kings comes after months of speculation and an indefinite hiatus following his exit from Team Liquid PH. Throughout the Filipino gaming world, fans have eagerly awaited clues about his next move. 

Those rumors have now been confirmed that the Filipino sniper has officially joined the HOK roster and will look to make his mark in Hero’s Gorge.

What makes this transition even more captivating is the unexpected reunion it has sparked. Oheb’s arrival at Honor of Kings reunites him with familiar names from his Blacklist International days, including Johnmar “OhMyV33nus” Villaluna, Danerie “Wise” Del Rosario, and Renejay “RENEJAY” Barcarse.

This gathering of seasoned talent has sparked a wave of nostalgia, and fans are buzzing with excitement over possible collaborations and rivalries within HOK’s expanding competitive scene.

His MLBB legacy is one of consistent excellence being a part of Blacklist International’s formidable “Main Five,” he helped secure back‑to‑back championships in Seasons 7 and 8, later adding a third title in Season 10. In the M3 World Championship, he reached the pinnacle of international acclaim, earning Finals MVP honors and etching his name into esports history.

Oheb’s success continued under Team Liquid, where he joined forces with stars like Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno and Alston “Sanji” Pabico, claiming championship glory in Seasons 15 and 16 and securing his first MSC trophy in 2025. 

But after Team Liquid’s M7 World Championship run, he announced his resignation and opted to take a step back from competitive play.

During his break, he stayed active in the scene, hinting at a possible return to professional play, including aspirations within the Philippine Kings League (PKL). 

Oheb isn’t the first MLBB star to make the jump to Honor of Kings, his move follows fellow Filipino pros Tristan “Yawi” Cabrera, Renejay Barcase, and John Paul “H2WO” Salonga. 

Their collective shifts underscore a growing trend in esports which is the blending of competitive ecosystems and the rise of Honor of Kings as a major destination for top talent seeking new arenas to dominate.
