Minana EVOS joins MPL PH Season 13 with revamped roster
Through a Facebook post on 21st February, Minana EVOS shared its new and improved roster for the highly-anticipated MPL PH Season 13.
“New faces emerge from the shadows, signaling the dawn of a new era for Minana EVOS. This is not just a transformation; it is the revelation of our true identity,” captioned the post.
Four of the previous players from the main squad - Ken "Kzen" Pile, Lance "LanceCy" Cunanan, Jan "Domeng" Delmundo, Brain "SpiderMilez" Santos remain for another run.
Jann "Kirk" Gutierrez shall fill in the EXP Lane role in the main lineup, replacing Jhon "JM" Sebastian, who previously left to join Bigetron Alpha in Indonesia.
Former coach Jeniel "YellyHaze" Bata-Anon is returning as a Mid Laner alongside Mark "Vane" Dasig, Kyle "Koyl" Reyes, Oscar "Sumpak" Romero for Minana EVOS’ secondary squad.
Former ONIC PH roamer John "Perkz" Sumawan has also joined the White Tigers for this season.
Minana EVOS may have struggled in past MPL PH seasons but the team had its fair share of successful runs in other tournaments. The team previously finished 1st-2nd place in the Kohai SEA Championship Season 2 - Wildcard and a second-place in the Juicy Legends Tournament 2023 Q2 Pro Division.
The team’s decent performance in non-MPL events may indicate that Minana EVOS possesses the potential and skills necessary to compete at the highest level. Despite previous setbacks in MPL PH seasons, its success in other tournaments suggests that Minana EVOS could be a dark horse poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming MPL PH Season 13. Fans will just have to keep their eyes peeled for how the team will perform in the upcoming season.
