And replacing these players are Blacklist's new lineup. In terms of support options, the Codebreakers will still have Salic "Hadji" Imam, Kim "Kimpoy" Dela Cruz, but they decided to make key additions in Dexter "Exort" Martinez and John "Perkz" Sumawan.
Then when it comes to their core players, two players who have tried to grind in the international scene will make their return. Michael "MP The King" Endino who has been a revelation in MSC 2024 will now be the team's new jungler.
He'll play alongside Gerald "Dlar" Trinchera, who back in Season 8 and the M3 World Championship, was considered to be one of the best EXP laners in the scene. Unfortunately his stint with EVOS Legends in Indonesia would highlight the struggles of playing abroad.
In the gold lane, both Kiel "Oheb" Soriano and Jhonville "Outplayed" Villar will try to make a statement.
New players join Blacklist
While these veterans have proven their value in the biggest stage, the Codebreakers have also opted to add two up-and-coming players to boost their ranks.
Former RRQ Kaito member Mark Laurence "MarkTzy" Cabigting will make his debut for the squad while former Minana EVOS and Bigetron Alpha player Jhon Marl "Lord JM" Sebastian will try to showcase their best with the team.
In terms of the coaching staff, Blacklist still has Kristoffer "BON CHAN" Ricaplaza and Mark Jayson "ESON" Gerardo, while they made additions through Kurt “SUPER KURT” Recto and Jayson “BomBi” Echem.
With such a drastic change, things could take an interesting turn for the Codebreakers. Can they win it all despite the absence of legends?
