MANILA--Another former Blacklist International mainstay joins Aurora as Justin "Calad" Limbo comes in as the Northern Light's sixth man for MPL Philippines Season 15.

Aurora announced on Sunday through a Baywatch-inspired reveal video that Limbo, who worked as Blacklist's analyst from 2023-2024, is now part of the team as he keeps his analyst role, replacing Ben "Benthings" Maglaque.

Limbo left Blacklist at the same time as Aniel "Master The Basics" Jiandani and Dex "Star" Alaba in late July last year, but Limbo decided to lie low for some time while Jiandani and Alaba went on to join Aurora.

Jiandani stayed true to his word at the end of Aurora's M6 World Championship campaign that the team is keeping its main five for MPL PH Season 15 on the road to the MLBB Midseason Cup as Edward Dapadap, Jonard "Demonkite" Caranto, Kenneth "Yue" Tadeo, Renejay Bacarse, and Dominic Del Mundo, who will also adopt the "Domengkite" alias he has been using for the Snapdragon Pro Series in domestic league action starting Feb. 28, are all staying put.

Aurora is now in Johor, Malaysia for the Snapdragon Challenge Finals, which begins on Monday.
