BLACKLIST WANTS ESTES WITH GENDER-BEND DESIGN FOR M3 CHAMPIONSHIP SKIN

Blacklist International chooses Estes – the squad’s signature hero ever since the team won its first title during MPL Philippines Season 7 – as their own exclusive skin after winning the M3 World Champions.

Aside from bagging P15 million worth of cash prize and the throne as the world’s best, Blacklist International has been granted the privilege to choose their very own M3 skin.

And, the Codebreakers want Estes to wear the commemorative skin, joining Harith and Lancelot as the only three heroes in the game that have the M-series exclusive championship skins.

EVOS Legends picked Harith after they won the M1 World Championship, while Bren Esports chose Lancelot after winning the M2 World Championship.

“I want to choose Estes because that’s been the trademark of Blacklist International since Season 7,” said Finals MVP Kiel “Oheb” Soriano when asked about the team’s choice for M3 exclusive skin after their game.

Blacklist’s team captain Jonmar “OhmyV33nus” Villaluna also suggested to Moonton his idea of having a gender-bend skin, centered on his LGBTQ+ persona.

“Actually I thought of this many times. I’ve always wanted to see a male hero with a female hero skin, like, for example, Mathilda with gender-bend skin,” he said.

Parang gender bend, magiging babaeng version ng Estes. In all of the games that I played I’ve never seen that kind of skin (gender-bend),” he continued. 

OHEB backed the idea, but still insisted on their signature “UBE strategy” hero.

“Estes with female skin would be great too,” he added.

If an Estes skin will be released, it will be the first time that a support hero gets a World Championship special skin.
