As per our previous report, TNC Tigers were trying out a new roster comprised of Indonesian, Vietnamese and Malaysian players alongside their captain 1437. It looks like the experiment has succeeded and TNC Tigers are ready to take the next step.
The squad took its time in the hunt. After several tryouts, involving Black, Ky.xy amongst many other players, 1437 zeroed in on Pang “BrayaNT” Jian Zhe as their offlaner, and Vietnamese player Trinh Van "458" Tho as their carry.
Still, needing a mid-player, as well as a playmaking support for their active roster, TNC Tigers turned towards the number one player on the SEA leaderboards: Muhammad ''inyourdream'' Rizky Anugrah and long-standing veteran of the Indonesian Dota scene Kenny "Xepher" Deo.
Hence their complete roster is:
- Theeban “1437” Siva
- Pang “BrayaNT” Jian Zhe
- Trinh Van "458" Tho
- Muhammad "InYourdreaM" Rizky
- Kenny "Xepher" Deo
TNC Tiger was announced as the secondary squad of the TNC organization formed earlier this year. They have been steadily building up their lineup under the leadership of Theeban “1437” Siva. Despite multiple roster shuffles, the team has yet to make a mark in any of the SEA Open Qualifiers.
Perhaps these acquisitions will be the final push that the organization needs, to push it into the upper tiers of SEA Dota.
You can see them in action in the ProDota Cup SEA winner bracket finals, as well as the JoinDota League.
