Yawi, Renejay, H2WO leave MLBB teams, move to Honor of Kings
The former Nexplay troika transferred to Honor of Kings alongside renowned online influencers Setsuna "Akosi Dogie" Ignacio and Oscar "Sumpak" Romero.
In a video released Thursday, Honor of Kings officially unveiled the quintet's move, marking a major shake-up in the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) scene, as all five were previously prominent figures in MLBB.
Yawi was a former roamer for TNC while Renejay and H2WO previously suited up for Aurora and Smart Omega Neos (MDL), respectively. The three were also former teammates at Nexplay, which rose to prominence back in the day thanks to the influence of one of its pillars in Akosi Dogie.
Sumpak, meanwhile, was also a former player for Nexplay before transitioning to content creation.

BTK brings act to Honor of Kings after years in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
BTK (Blood Thirsty Kings) is entering the Honor of Kings competitive scene after years of making waves in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. BTK, the top MLBB team in North America, officially joined HOK with its core led by captain Michael 'MobaZane' Cosgun together with Ian 'FwydChickn' Hohl, Jang 'Hoon' Seong-hun, Ziameth-Jei 'ZIA' Caluya, Vo 'Shark' Trung, and Carlos 'Bestplayer1' Ortega Vega. BTK became the latest talent to transfer to HOK from MLBB following the trio of Tristan "Yawi" Cabrera, Renejay "Renejay" Barcarse, and John Paul "H2WO" Salonga. ?BTK first made an impression during the M3 World Championship in 2021, sending Philippine powerhouse Blacklist International to the lower bracket during their playoff clash, but bowed to the same team in the LB finals. "Honor of Kings is a very unique game with countless talented players and a very refreshing gameplay experience," MobaZane said. "My team and I are learning fast. We will do our best and rally our communities to quickly catch up with the global regions." —Bea Micaller/JMB, GMA Integrated News

Renejay, H2WO bid farewell to Aurora, Smart Omega
Renejay "Renejay" Barcarse and John Paul "H2WO" Salonga have parted ways with their respective squads Aurora and Smart Omega, as the former teammates chart a fresh course in their esports journey. Renejay's exit from Aurora brings his one-year run with the Serbian organization to a close. With the veteran roamer making up its core, Aurora was able to reach unexpected heights in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines. Aurora made a surprise finals run in Season 14 before bowing to eventual champion Onic. Despite that loss, Aurora was able to represent the country in the M6 World Championship, which also witnessed the victory of Onic. H2WO, meanwhile, last represented Smart Omega in the MLBB Development League (MDL) with the Neos. In the recent Season 5, Smart Omega Neos reached the semifinals, but fell prey to eventual champion Onic x Nine Lives in their best-of-seven affair. As of posting, Renejay and H2WO have yet to announce their next moves. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
