Blacklist International may be looking to revamp its roster after failing to defend its title in the M4 World Championship. The CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of the esports organization, Tryke Gutierrez, announced that they are discussing whether the players and coaches want to stay on the team and go for another run in the upcoming 2023 Southeast Asia (SEA) games and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League (MPL) Philippines (PH) Season 11. According to Tryke, he would like the team to continue and aim for more championship titles but the Blacklist International squad have been given the right to decide what they want.

Through a Facebook group post, Tryke Gutierrez announced that changes may be happening in preparation for upcoming tournaments.
“Just to be transparent we are in the process of asking each and every player and coach individually on what they want to do in sea games and s11. We will inform all of you once we're done with the process,” he wrote.
He added that the management aims to keep all of its talents but everyone has been given the freedom to decide whether they wish to continue competing under the team.
“Our management is 100% committed to retain every player and coach in the roster but we will give them the liberty to decide otherwise. Thank you,” wrote Tryke.
Out of the blue, two of Blacklist International’s veteran talents Dexter "Dex Star" Alaba and Mark Jayson "ESON" Gerardo also gave their thanks to the team which led fans to believe they may be departing from the team soon.
On the other hand, some fans also believe that the two veterans may be using their experience to lead the team’s MLBB Development League (MDL) roster.
Blacklist International is yet to officially reveal the changes it may make to its MLBB roster. Fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for more updates in the future.
