Team Tinker rumoured for roster change

 

Weh Sing 'SingSing' Yuen apparently confirmed on stream that Team Tinker has roster changes planned on the horizon. In the meantime, they have already withdrawn from the Esportal League Invitational.

The alleged roster changes come on the back of some poor performances from Team Tinker of late, sporting only a 37% win rate in November despite their strong start in August to October. On top of that they have not placed well in most of the tournaments they have attended, with only one podium position in a premier tournament - 2nd at the Dota 2 Champion's League #4. Otherwise, they have clocked three 5-6th places, in Starladder Season X, DreamLeague Season 2, and The Summit 2. 

Team Tinker was created from the remains of three teams that attended The International 2014: Bulba and Qojqva from Team Liquid, Singsing from Cloud9, and Pajkatt from Mousesports, together with Xcalibur as a for-fun team while pending the post-TI roster shuffles. However, they decided to stick together, and replaced Xcalibur with EGM from Alliance. What stumped most people upon their creation was the fact that they were mostly a team of mid-lane players, and until EGM's entry, had no well known support players. 

It should be mentioned that their team has had problems playing together at LANs as well, with Qojqva being unable to make the DreamLeague studio phase, as well as The Summit 2 due to school commitments. Due to these complications, Team Tinker have withdrawn from the Esportal League Invitational, and have been replaced by Balkan Bears Corleone.
