TNC Pro Team revealed its revamped team roster for the upcoming Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines (PH) Season 9. The new roster features four new faces alongside the two veteran pro players from the previous season, Daniel “SDzyz” Chuu (formerly known as Chuu) and Ben “Benthings” Maglaque. TNC Pro Team had a disappointing performance during the MPL PH Season 8, only scoring four wins and 10 losses which locked them out of the playoffs stage. This prompted the organization to release five of its players and commit to undergoing massive changes to its team roster.
