Grant Duane Pillas, better known as Kelra, is back in the spotlight after his team, Onic Philippines (ONIC PH), won the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series international tournament. With his incredible mechanics and mature tactical decisions, Kelra has established himself as The Gold Laner Standard, a nickname that describes his position as the benchmark for the best gold laners around the world.
Kelra is recognized by analysts and the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) community as the strongest gold laner in history. His dominance in the competitive scene with ONIC PH and the awards he has won have strengthened his status as an MLBB legend. According to fans and analysts, anyone who wants to be called a great gold laner must be able to reach or sur the level set by Kelra.
In the Grand Final of the ESL Snapdragon Pro Series, ONIC PH met with the Indonesian representative, RRQ Hoshi. Kelra became a nightmare for RRQ with his mechanics that were considered like robots because they were so sharp and precise. Kelra’s extraordinary performance amazed the MLBB community, including Indonesian fans, with his skills.
His tactical decisions and mechanics at crucial moments were the key to ONIC PH’s victory with a final score of 2-1, which confirmed the dominance of the Philippine team in the global competition.
Kelra’s most epic moment occurred in the third match, right at 11:20, when ONIC PH and RRQ were fighting for Lord. Although RRQ managed to secure Lord, Kelra took advantage of the split push in the Top Lane and had time to do a recall to refill Health Points (HP). Then, from the base, Kelra launched his Ultimate Moskov: Spear Of Destruction, which immediately hit RRQ’s Sutsujin.
His massive damage and sharp mechanics finished off RRQ, who were already in a low HP condition due to the fight at Lord. Kelra sealed the win for ONIC PH at that moment, leaving RRQ with only one player left.
With this spectacular performance, Kelra not only brought victory to ONIC PH, but also confirmed his status as an extraordinary gold laner. Will there be another gold laner who can match Kelra’s level of play? The MLBB world is looking forward to the fierce competition that is to come.
