ONIC Will Face Geek Fam Again on Friday After Losing Six of Their First Nine MPL Indonesia Matches
Geek Fam ended a run of seven straight defeats by beating the same opponents 2-1 in the first half of the season.
ONIC play Geek Fam in the sixth week of Mobile Legends Professional League Indonesia Season 18 on 18 September 2026, a rematch that arrives with the Indonesian side holding a record of 3 wins and 6 losses.
The two teams met earlier in the month, when Geek Fam won 2-1 to record their first victory of the season and end a run of seven consecutive defeats. Geek Fam took the opening game in 13 minutes through jungle control, lost the second, then won the decider by invading the jungle repeatedly and closing out the base.
ONIC then lost again to Alter Ego, who swept RRQ Hoshi 2-0 in the same week and moved into the top three. Team Liquid ID led the standings on 7 wins and 1 loss on 12 September, with Natus Vincere second on 7 and 2, Alter Ego third, RRQ Hoshi eighth and Geek Fam ninth.
Esports ID drew a parallel with Season 15, when ONIC recovered from a difficult regular season to win the title through the playoffs, while cautioning that the circumstances are not the same. The outlet named Kairi and Kelra as the players to watch and reported that Killua could debut in the mid lane.
Two further matches complete the Friday card. Dewa United, who had two fixtures postponed because of medical problems affecting players and staff, meet EVOS and then RRQ Hoshi.
