Something that should be noted is that TNC Pro Team had recently played in the WESG: Philippines Qualifier with Armel Paul "Armel" Tabios standing in for 1437. TNC won the qualifiers but declined to participate in the Main Event held in China.
1437, who first joined TNC Pro Team over 15 months ago, has had a roller coaster career on the SEA team. He has lead the team to two 2nd place finishes in the StarLadder i-League Invitational #2 and MDL Macau as well as a Championship victory at the China Top 2017.
For his part, 1437 said that while he was disappointed, he loved Filipino fans no matter what and that he hopes “you will continue to support me no matter where I will go or what I will do.”
Here’s his statement in full:
TNC Pro Team’s roster is now
- Marc “Raven” Fausto
- Carlo “Kuku” Palad,
- Sam “SamH” Hidalgo
- Timothy “Tims” Randrup
Neither 1437 nor TNC Pro Team has made any statement on who will be replacing the Canadian position 5 role. The only fact out there is that it will be a Filipino player who will be replacing 1437.
