A PROMISING PERFORMANCE in the Season 11 playoffs has placed RSG Philippines with a dilemma during the offseason.
Three junglers namely Jonard Cedrix "Demonkite" Caranto, John "Irrad" Abarquez, and John Paul "H2wo" Salonga could cause confusion in Coach Brian "Panda" Lim's lineup selection.
But with RSG's recent roster announcement, Coach Panda has decided to focus on Irrad's ascent, while the other two junglers will not feature for the Raiders in the upcoming season.
Irrad has been a massive surprise during the Season 11 playoffs as his Lancelot wowed the defending World Champs, ECHO PH.
As for the fate of the other two junglers, Demonkite was sent to RSG Malaysia while H2wo was revealed to be taking a rest.
"H2wo right now is not part of the MPL S12 roster, but he is still under RSG PH," said Lexie Yambao RSG PH's manager.
She added: "After kase ng Season 11 he requested to rest so right now he is on the bench, pero his deals and projects are continuous."
Due to her statement, H2wo will spend Season 12 behind-the-scenes as a talent.

What's next for Irrad?
Now that Irrad has the spotlight all under him, it would be interesting to see how he'll fare in the upcoming season especially with the comparisons between him and the likes of Kairi "Kairi" Rayosdelsol and Karl "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno.
While Irrad has impressed in the playoffs last season, Coach Panda believes that the up-and-coming phenom still has a lot to learn.
"Development, he has lots of pride in his own skills, which is good, but I need to teach him more discipline, and also how to be a matured player where you can actually sometimes sacrifice yourself for the team," as stated by Panda.
"Individually, he's excellent, but to make him to be the best jungler for the team, that's something to work on for this season."
And when it comes to his plans for him, Coach Panda is banking on the young star's future.
"As we saw his performance last season, he really had a very impactful performance, and I really want to build up on that. I really want to make him the best jungler, not only in the PH, but in the international scene, and I saw his potential."
"So that is why moving forward to this season, I think it's the perfect opportunity for me to focus on him, to make him the player that I want him to be," reflected Coach Panda.
RSG will be entering Season 12 with their main core players of Dylan "Light" Catipon, Eman "EMANN" Sangco, Nathanael "Nathzz" Estrologo, Irrad.
Arvie "Aqua" Antonio will be making his return after resting in Season 11.
Meanwhile players from the MDL scene namely Patrick "RTZY" Lim will join the team, alongside newcomer Kennt Anthony "Souuul" Baesa.
Coaches Panda and Theo Eusebio will guide this team.
