TNC look like a completely different team from 2 months ago and a large part of their change in form is the arrival of their new coach Heen. Having topped the group of death ie group D, beating out competition like PSG.LGD, OG and NiP, TNC have surprised many. Now in the upper bracket of the competition, TNC take on China’s RNG later today. Many pros and analysts have said that the team is looking like a breath of fresh air and have high chances of making a deep run at EPICENTER. With their TI9 qualification almost secure, TNC will look to achieve bigger things and try and win the first DPC event of their careers in Moscow. 

What do we say to the group of Death? Not today.

Proud of our result but we'll try to focus on being a good team above winning/losing.

5 time Major champion and captain of Virtus.Pro, Alexei ‘Solo’ Berezin feels tat TNC’s chances are looking good at the upcoming events. 
  

This evolution of @TNCPredator was something we were all looking forward to since @Heen1337 signed up.

Honestly based on what I've heard over the years they always had it in them.

So glad to see them develop within their true potential.
