Homophobic Kelra Apologizes for Sexist Remarks Against VeeWise

Omega’s Kelra is facing some omega issues!

Duane “Kelra” Pillas of Omega Esports issued a public apology following his problematic homophobic remarks against OhMyV33NUS and Wise.

A clip from RRQ Hoshi’s Albert “Alberttt” Iskandar’s stream showed Kelra making some ‘ill’ comments against the Blacklist’s proud LGBTQ+ members.

Kelra Apologizes to Public

In his apology, Kelra specified that he’s sorry to those whom he hurt with his statements.

“Taos puso po akong humihingi ng tawad at pasensya sa lahat ng taong naapektuhan at nasaktan sa aking mga nasabi,” (I apologize with all my heart to those whom I affected and hurt with what I said.) Kelra told on his Facebook page.

“Inaamin ko po na ako ay nagkamali at hindi nag isip sa mga maaring mangyari, naging immature at iresponsable ako. Hindi ko po itinatanggi ang isyu, inaamin ko po na di ko nag isip na maaring may mga taong masaktan sa mga salitang nabitawan ko, ako po ay lubos na humihingi ng pasensya sa mga taong nasaktan ko, sa buong LGBTQ+ community at sa lahat ng tao na naapektuhan.”

(To be honest, I really made a mistake. I did not think about it. I acted immature and irresponsible. [I] can’t deny the issue, I really admit that I did not think about the people that I may hurt with the words that I said. [I] am really sorry, and I sincerely apologize those I hurt and to all members of the LGBTQ+)

According to Kelra’s statement, he already apologized to VeeWise directly.

“Nag message na rin po ako kay Vee at DJ para humingi ng sorry. Ako po ay isa sa mga fans nila at humihingi po ako ng tawad sa napakadistasteful joke na nasabi ko,” (I already messaged Vee and DJ to ask for forgiveness. I am a fan of theirs and I really apologize for my distasteful joke) he told.

Kelra Sanctioned by MPL Philippines

Omega and Moonton have already dropped down a sanction on the player.

MPL Philippines cited Rules 12.3.3. (Sexual Harassment) and 12.3.4 (Discrimination and Denigration) in their punishment.

They told that the organization does not condone any form of discrimination in the community. The group added that discrimination has no place in the community.

“MPL-PH Operating Committee does not tolerate any form of discrimination in the league and we expect our professional players to follow a strict code of conduct. The MPL-Philippines is working with all the teams to produce a safe environment for everyone,” they told in a statement.

Months ago, Venus experienced similar form of discrimination from Bren’s fans. OhMyV33nus was showered with ‘gay’ comments by Bren’s fans during their MPL Season 7 match up.
