SRG OG 

Selangor Red Giants have been one of the true renaissance stories of MSC 2025, sweeping regions and challenging the established hierarchy. In the quarters, Innocent delivered lethal performances, including clutch Beatrix and Claude plays, putting up record-level numbers and pushing SRG into the top four. Their strength comes from bold drafting, fast rotations, and fearless aggression, all built around Innocent’s positioning and scaling potential. 

Strengths:

  • Lightning-fast rotations and objective control
  • Draft creativity built around Innocent’s comfort heroes
  • Momentum-based aggression that punishes mistakes

ONIC Philippines 

ONIC PH reasserted themselves as world-class at MSC 2025 by reversing a series deficit to beat Team Spirit and book their semifinal berth. Led by Kelra, their gold laner and MVP-caliber anchor, they dismantled opponents with a calm, methodical game plan. ONIC’s late-game execution, map clarity, and macro discipline were put on full display, rallying the team back into contention after a shaky start.

Strengths:

  • Elite map control and vision setup
  • Kelra’s mechanical reliability in clutch fights
  • High-level teamfight execution and late-game decision-making
                   
                   

The Main Matchup: Innocent vs Kelra

This series could be defined by the clash between Innocent and Kelra, two gold laners with game-winning potential. Innocent offers a hyper-aggressive carry style. He thrives when SRG controls tempo and drafts around his high-impact picks. If given space, he snowballs and punishes defensive drafts swiftly. Kelra represents calculated dominance. Against ONIC, he brings precision mechanics and model late-game presence, often turning teamfights single-handedly. SRG must pressure lanes early and create opportunities for Innocent, while ONIC needs to isolate and target him before key item timings. If Kelra can stick with Innocent in farm and positioning, ONIC’s structured engine could grind out the series.

Prediction

Expect a high-stakes, back-and-forth semifinal. SRG’s momentum and Innocent’s heroics could win them games, but ONIC PH’s playoff grit and macro awareness give them the slight edge over five.

ONIC should usher in their dominance with clutch rotations and knowing exactly when to pull the trigger. SRG will challenge every match and may steal one or two, but ultimately, seasoned strategy and Kelra’s composure should secure ONIC’s passage to the grand final. So I predict that ONIC PH will beat SRG OG with a score of 3:2.

                   
                   

If SRG maintains discipline and allows Innocent to shine, an upset is fully on the table. But if ONIC can silence his lane, slow the tempo, and execute their late-game transitions, they’ll remind fans why they’re the current benchmark in MLBB esports.
