THE MSC 2024 just recently ended and the offseason carries on as teams from around the local MLBB scene are looking for probable prospects to further boost their squad.
According to a highly placed source from within, it seems Setsuna "Akosi Dogie" Ignacio has found a new home in the MPL PH. Previous seasons saw him with Nexplay and MINANA, but with both teams out of the picture it was time for him to move on.
The source didn't exactly say where Dogie is headed, but they gave three potential destinations namely TNC Pro Team, Aurora Esports, or Blacklist International.
Aurora recently signed two major headliners in Johnmar "OhMyV33nus" Villaluna and Danerie James "Wise" Del Rosario and it would be interesting to see how this dynamic works especially when Dogie announced his 10% prediction curse before the 31st SEA Games.
Meanwhile both TNC and Blacklist could benefit from Dogie's marketing prowess with the former in desperate need of rejuvenation after spending seasons at the bottom of the standings.
Wolf to coach an MPL PH team?
But he wasn't the only individual who the source mentioned as it seems shoutcaster Caisam "Wolf" Nopueto will now join an MPL PH team.
No other details were announced by the source as to where he will end up, but Wolf's analytical skills will be a huge asset for the organization.
A couple of seasons ago, Wolf developed a software that could assess if a team's composition is well-balanced and this was integrated into the MPL broadcast.
It may seem like Wolf is new to the coaching scene, however he already has some experience in the bag. Back in Seasons 6 to 8, Wolf offered his services to Onic PH as an analyst.
Then during The Nationals, he ended up coaching Laus Auto Group Playbook's Dota 2 squad.
