Former Mineski carry Carlo 'Kuku' Palad was officially announced today, April 11th, as a new member of TnC Pro Team.
Carlo 'Kuku' Palad has been playing carry for the Mineski squad for a year, but came to the attention of the wider world with Mineski’s Frankfurt Major run. Although the Filipino power-house had a very good year with Kuku in the carry role, they’ve decided to start the Manila Major and The International 6 journey without him and locked in the Spring roster with Ryan 'Bimbo' Jay Qui in position one.
Left without a team in the most important part of the year, Kuku has been spotted playing as a stand in for TnC at ESL One Frankfurt SEA qualifiers and today at the BTS Series SEA Season 4 grand finals, played against Fnatic.
After losing TnC the best-of-five grand finals series today, the organization officially welcomed Kuku to their team a few hours later .
However, nobody will be replaced from TnC with this new acquisition. Gio 'WinterGSmallSon' De Ocampo momentarily has to deal with health conditions that will prevent him from playing, and therefore will be relegated to substitute role until he recovers.
TnC Pro Team roster from position 1 to 5:
Marc Polo Luis 'Raven' Fausto
Linuel 'Teehee' Abanto
Sam 'Sam H' Hidalgo
Nico 'Eyyou' Barcelon
Carlo 'Kuku' Palad
Gio 'WinterGSmallSon' De Ocampo - /Sub
Claurice 'Klo' Sta.Ana - Sub/Manager
Paulo 'Pau' Sy - Coach
Undergoing a roster change after the Spring shuffle roster deadline forces TnC to go through the open qualifier gauntlet in the SEA regional qualifiers for the Manila Major and The International 6.
