RSG, TNC hope to repeat S9 success with intact rosters for MPL S10
Defending champion RSG Philippines and TNC Pro Team are parading the same rosters in hopes of replicating their previous success in the upcoming MPL Philippines Season 10.
RSG acquired promising rookies in jungler John “1rrad” Tuazon and roamer John “Perkz” Sumawan in place of Christian “Iy4knu” Manaog and EJ “Heath” Esperanza although the team remained intact heading into its title defense in Season 10 with the MSC 2022 champion quintet still spearheading the crew.
All eyes will be on their potent one-two punch in MSC MVP and gold laner Eman “Emann” Sangco and star jungler Jhonard “Demonkite” Caranto to lead the way while Dylan “Light” Catipon, Arvie “Aqua” Calderon and Season 9 MVP Nathanael “Nathzz” Crisologo providing the steady presence for the crew.
Kenneth “Kenji” Villa, Clarence “Kousei” Camillo and Dexter “Exort” Martinez remain with the team while coach Brian “Panda” Lim and Karl “Giee” Barrientos continue to weave their magic from the sideline as the team coaches.
Meanwhile, fresh from a breakout performance that saw them finish as the second seed in the regular season and third overall in Season 9, TNC didn’t bother to tweak its lineup and will still parade a six-man crew for the upcoming season.
Ben “Benthings” Maglaque, Daniel “SDzyz” Chuu, Joemarie “Escalera” Santos, Robee “Yasuwo” Pormocille and Mark “Kramm” Rustana composed the main five while Salman “KingSalman” Macarambon will be the lone reserve.
413 will be the team’s new head coach in lieu of Vrendon “Coach V” Lin with coach Jemson “Scholar” Ignacio serving as his deputy.
