Demonkite Reveals Why He Skipped MPL PH Season 11

Jhonard “Demonkite” Caranto revealed the reason why decided to skip RSG Slate PH’s campaign in the MPL Philippines Season 11.

The Season 8 Best Rookie bared that RSG Slate PH’s loss to ECHO in the lower bracket finals of the MPL Philippines Season 10 playoffs took a toll on him, prompting him to sit out Season 11 and rest.

“Parang ganun (personal issue). Syempre frustrating matalo nang ganun no…Parang isang panalo na lang worlds na,” Demonkite said in a livestream.

After winning the MPL Philippines Season 9 and the MSC title consecutively, RSG Slate PH was in a rare position to win another MPL title and qualify for the M4 World Championship.

The team was actually a series win away from making its second consecutive MPL finals appearance and first-ever M-series stint but lost to ECHO in the lower bracket finals which shattered their dreams.

“Laking epekto kasi non kasi di ba ano kami, MPL Season 9 Champion, MSC Champion. Tapos nag rookie (of the season) pa ko,” said Demonkite.

“Parang kumbaga, katulad ng Blacklist, dynasty ganun. Parang gusto ko din ng katulad sa kanila na sunod-sunod yung champion. Parang yung baga may momentum sa katawan. Eh tsaka syempre…lahat naman kaming lima sa RSG pangarap namin mag-M4 nun eh. Tapos isang laban na lang nabitin pa kami sa M4,” he added.

With the painful loss still fresh, Demonkite opted to skip the following season.

“Syempre dala ng frustration, parang nawalan ako ng gana maglaro. Ganun. Isipin niyo na lang ha kung maglalaro ako sa MPL tas parang tanga lang ako sa MPL, magugustuhan niyo ba yung ipapakita ko?” Demonkite said.

“Kahit ako sa sarili ko, syempre hindi. Mas okay pa rin pag ka naglalaro ka nang ganadong-ganado ka. Talagang todo bigay ka sa lahat.”

RSG Slate PH recently qualified to the Season 11 playoffs after securing the fourth seed after the regular season.
