How Rich is TNC? It Can Afford a Superstar Roster, Says Benthings

“Yaman naman ng TNC,” a fan wrote on Facebook, to which Ben Maglaque, aka Benthings, reacted.

“Legit, guys. Kung gustong bumuo ng TNC ng all-star lineup, kayang kaya ng TNC iyan guys, promise,” said Benthings.

Among MPL circles, it is widely known that TNC is one of the most capable organizations in the league. Despite suffering consecutive bottom finishes, it was the only team that raised the salaries of its players in MPL-PH Season 12 by 50 percent. In Season 13, TNC reportedly enrolled its players in life coaching sessions. According to highly placed sources, such coaching sessions could cost up to P50,000 per person.

“Marami nang opportunities na pwedeng makakuha ng superstar lineup ang TNC pero hindi nila pina-priority i-grab iyon,” said Benthings. “Isipin niyo na lang guys, six season ako doon, every season, top 8 kami, tapos every season, tumataas pa rin talaga yung sahod. Tapos every season, nag-uupgrade ng boot camp. Ganoon kayaman ang TNC.”

In a reel posted by Benthings, he revealed TNC had a chance to recruit the top roamer and the top marksman in the Philippines.

“Nagkaroon na rin ang TNC na makuha ang pinakamalakas na gold at pinakamalakas na tank sa Pilipinas pero hindi priority i-grab iyon ng TNC. Nagtiwala pa rin sila sa kayang ibigay na teamwork and teamplay ng current lineup.”

But now that TNC has finished Season 14 with another disappointing bottom finish in MPL Philippines, is it time again to reconsider another roster change?

Benthings thinks so.

“Feeling ko, sa Season 15, hindi na papayag ang TNC na matalo, bubuo na rin ito ng superstar lineup.”
