In his latest vlog, Z4pnu revealed that RRQ Hoshi intends to acquire Smart Omega’s gold laner.

“What’s interesting is Kelra has already spoken to RRQ Hoshi and said that he is interested in taking the offer and flying to Indonesia,” Z4pnu said.

Despite his support of the team’s gold laner potentially playing for RRQ Hoshi, Z4pnu also highlighted things that could go wrong for Kelra if the deal pushes through.

“If you are in a different country, the main problem would be language barrier and communication,” he stated.

It’s no surprise that Kelra is wanted by many teams, including those outside MPL PH. The 16-year old star has been a phenomenal gold laner for the Z4pnu-led squad.

He is known for securing his lane with ease using heroes such as Wanwan and Harith. Despite not winning any championship yet in the region, he made headlines after he led Execration to its grand final victory against Blacklist International at Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asian Cup 2021 (MSC 2021).

If the deal pushes through, he will become the first-ever Filipino import to MPL ID.
