After missing out on attending the Singapore Major, TNC has parted ways with both Damien "kpii" Chok and Kim "Febby" Yong-min.
Missing one out of two Majors is quite a big deal. With the DPC 2021 Season being only two events where DPC points could be earned for TI, there is little room for error.
TNC Predator finished in fourth place of DPC 2021 Season 1 league-play. That means no Major, no Wild Card series and only 100 DPC points so far. It was time to go back to the drawing board and apparently that included a roster change.
Damien "kpii" Chock joined the team in September 2019. Kim "Febby" Yong-min had been coaching the team since January 2020 but joined as their position 5 support just before the start of the DPC 2021 Season 1.
TNC's decision to change two players doesn't come cheap. They will now receive a point penalty for the change. Instead of their 100 earned points, they will now have 72.25. It might not look like a hefty deduction, but every point counts and they clearly thought it was worth the price.
With the DPC 2021 Season 2 on the horizon, there is little doubt it will take long for TNC to finalize the roster.
Current TNC Predator roster:
Kim 'Gabbi' Villafuerte
Armel Paul 'Armel' Tabios
Timothy 'Tims' Randrup
