SINGAPORE -- (UPDATE) With their world championship campaign on the line, Blacklist International got to live another day in the M3 world championships here after avenging against Onic Indonesia on Tuesday.

• Mobile Legends: Blacklist looking forward to 'revenge' vs. Onic ID, live crowds in M3

Blacklist was coming off a shock 3-2 upset against North American squad BloodThirstyKings and was relegated to the lower bracket of the tournament, and Blacklist had already lost to Onic Indonesia in the MPLI.

Onic Esports was aggressive to start Game 1, trying to clamp down Kiel Calvin "OHEB" Soriano's Beatrix being clipped out early on to take three turrets.

But Salic "Hadji" Imam's initiation off three players with his Kagura helped Blacklist earn the momentum and secure a mix of turret and turtle objectives. The power scale of Edward "EDWARD" Jay Dapadap's Uranus climbed up eventually, which helped Blacklist secure crucial pick-offs that would see them draw the first blood.

Blacklist looked like it was going to win Game 2 as OHEB's Beatrix proved to be another problem in the early game for Onic.

But some good plays by Onic's Calvin "CW" Winata and with Sanz “Sanz” Gilang able to scale up later on, they were able to eventually rack up enough firepower to force a decider match.

Game 3 saw Blacklist maul Onic ID all throughout, banking on objective oriented gameplay to dispose of the Indonesian champs within 13:30 minutes.

Asked about the win, head coach Kristoffer "Bon Chan" Ricaplaza said it felt "satisfying" to finally avenge their loss.

"Dahil unang-una mas major tournament ito. Kasi ito, main quest. Ang MPLI, side quest. Very satisfying na dito pa namin sila sa world stage nagantihan," Bon Chan told reporters here Tuesday.

OHEB emerged as the MVP of Games 1 and 3 with his Beatrix, only dying once in Game 1, and coming out unscathed in Game 3 and with 14 kills within the two wins.

Blacklist will suit up once more on Wednesday in a best-of-five showdown against the winner of the match between Bedel and Vivo Keyd Stars, which is ongoing as of writing.
