ONIC Philippines

Previously known as Dream High Gaming, Onic PH's lineup included OhMyV33Nus, Wise, RR Esports, Greed, Dlar, and Zico. RR Esports subsequently left, and Iy4knu took his place. Later, Dream High Gaming competed in the MPL-PH S4 Qualifiers, where they defeated Akosi Dogie's Rumble Royale. After acquiring Dream High Gaming's squad, ONIC Esports ID renamed as Onic PH, despite a newcomer team, is actually a monster in the league, destroying every team that they encountered, with Sunsparks the only team that can stop them back then. ONIC PH later finished 2nd place in the Regular Season, behind SunSparks.

Despite losing to Bren Esports and SunSparks during the regular season, the team subsequently swapped Greed for Fuzaken, and everyone anticipated them to finally win the championship. Despite being dropped to the Lower Bracket during the playoffs, they were able to advance to the Grand Finals by defeating Bren Esports. SunSparks defeats them once more, this time by a score of 3–1.

They were able to get Basic from ULVL when Fuzaken departed the squad (now BNK Blu Fire). Despite the fact that he was acquired, this is Onic's worst season to date. Bren defeats them twice, the first time 2-1 and the second time 2–0. They're also defeated by teams they've beaten in prior seasons, such as Blacklist International and Execration. They ended in a disappointing fourth place, losing to Execration in a "reverse sweep" by a score of 3–2.

Major changes in the Onic PH team happen in Season 7 with the exchange of the iconic duo OhmyV33nus and Wise to Blacklist International in return for Kairi "Kairi" Rayosdelsol.{{Cite web|last=Dannug|first=Jonash|date=2021-10-26|title=Wise remains grateful to ONIC PH a year after trade|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/wise-remains-grateful-to-onic-ph-a-year-after-trade/223209|access-date=2021-11-12|website=Tiebreaker Times|language=en-US}} They did well in the MPLI, but not as well as they had hoped, losing to Work Auster Force, NXP Solid, and Blacklist International, despite defeating other better teams later in the Regular Season, such as Aura, Execration, and Bren. They were knocked out of the Playoffs early, losing 3–2 to Execration.{{Cite web|date=2021-05-30|title=Execration sweeps Aura PH, arranges MPL Grand Finals showdown against Blacklist International|url=https://mb.com.ph/2021/05/30/execration-sweeps-aura-ph-arranges-mpl-grand-finals-showdown-against-blacklist-international/|access-date=2021-11-12|website=Manila Bulletin|language=en-US}}

ONIC-PH would have a complete overhaul of their roster from Seasons 11 and 12, both times failing to advance past the Play-In, signing Kelra as an additional gold laner and K1NGKONG to replace Raizen as their starting jungler.
