MOONTOON, hear us out; Blacklist deserves an Estes M3 skin. BL unanimously picked Estes as their M3 skin but Moontoon seemed not so pleased with the choice.

Instead, they made BL choose two more options and base on V33's stream, Moontoon picked another. Maybe because of one reason; marketability?

But hear us out. Here are the list of reasons why Estes is the most deserving hero to represent BL as M3 skin;

1. BAN ESTES OR ELSE... - BL dominated 2021. It all started with that infamous hack-a-v33nus strat where the opponent used all five bans against V33's heroes primarily Estes. Exe pioneered that in Juicy Legends and found effective in their first match. But BL persevered. Guess what's the outcome. BL won championship in that off-season tournament. It continued until Season 7, MSC, 8, MPLI, M3. Giving Estes to Blacklist was almost automatically giving them a W. With that espensive 1-ban slot to Estes, BL had more room to play with the draft, opening comfort heroes to V33's teammates.

2. ESTES IS UBE, UBE IS ESTES - It gave birth to the notorious trademark gameplay of Blacklist which we call: UBE (Ultimate Bonding Experience) where they group up to set up ganks and get objectives. The heart of that gameplay is Estes. The very main idea of that formation revolves around Estes set of skills.

4. ESTES GAVE WAY TO THE SUPPORTS-META - Prior to MPL PH Season 7, no team, as in no team in the professional league was using pure support heroes. Until V33 reminded everyone its potential. The rest was history. It changed the meta. It inspired other regions in the world, most notably Brazil and Indonesia. It throwed the tank-meta into oblivion. Estes, Rafaela, Angela, regained the respect of the pro-scene.

5. ESTES MADE OTHER HEROES SHINE - Without batting an eyelash, we can pick Paquito or Harith as the strongest hero of BL in season 7, Aldous in MSC, Chou in season 8, Beatrix in M3. Question is, who activated these heroes to its scary potential? Supports! Estes, along with other supports (if Estes is banned) made Harith or Alice almost unkillable in season 7, Aldous in MSC, Beatrix in M3. You can not separate Oheb's, Edward's, Hadji's, and Wise's heroes highlights with V33's heroes.

6. ESTES M3 SKIN = SUPPORTS ROLE RESPECT - Both M1 and M2 skins highlighted the carries or the main damage dealers of the team. But MOBA is more than about dealing damage ot collecting kills. It involves micro and macro gameplays, kitings and re-engages, sustains in teamfights. Support heroes are the wheels that made those techniques be driven possible. Giving an M3 skin to Estes is also giving respect to a certain role that has been undermined in MOBA for the longest time.

I can spend all night wiriting down reasons why Estes is the perfect M3 skin for Estes. But instead, let me challenge you;

- Give me a hero that has been an auto ban for a single team, not for one season, not for two, but for an entire year.
- Give me a hero that when you say Blacklist, it is the first thing that comes into your mind.
- Give me a hero who launched an entirely different meta that influenced all regions in the world.

BLACKLIST IS ESTES. Agents deserved an Estes M3 skin.
