TEAM LIQUID ID has officially announced the departure of Filipino imports Tristan “Yawi” Cabrera and James "Jeymz" Gloria ahead of the M6 World Championship in Malaysia.
Yawi signed with Team Liquid ID (formerly Aura Esports) back in MPL Indonesia Season 13, marking the beginning of his journey overseas after winning MPL Philippines Season 11 and the M4 World Championship with ECHO Philippines.
Yawi made waves during the M4 World Championship, where his signature fighter hero, Chou, was selected as the championship skin in honor of his aggressive playstyle and leading the unstoppable “ECHO Express.”
Team Liquid ID reigned supreme in the MPL Indonesia Season 14, making Yawi the first player to win two titles from different MPL franchises, MPL Philippines and MPL Indonesia, respectively.
Meanwhile, Jeymz joined Team Liquid ID for MPL Indonesia Season 14 after three successful seasons with ECHO Proud, including two straight MDL Philippines titles, Season 1 and Season 2, respectively.
Jeymz reunited with his former Nexplay EVOS teammate Yawi upon joining Team Liquid ID, but unfortunately, their new journey together ended sooner than expected.
What's next for Yawi and Jeymz?
Team Liquid ID penned a heartfelt tribute for Jeymz and Yawi, recognizing their hard work and wishing them success in the next chapter of their journey.
“Thank you, Yawi. A world roamer figure who always gives his all in every game, not only for the team, but also for the fans who always support. Your dedication, hard work, and fighting spirit have taken Team Liquid ID to greater levels, and it will always be a part of our journey,” Aura Esport wrote.
“Thank you, ECHO Jeymz. Although our time together is short, your contribution as EXP laner has made a profound impression on Team Liquid ID. Your dedication and spirit show that you are a remarkable figure, and your presence will always be cherished,” Aura Esports added.
The MPL community is abuzz with theories, connecting the dots and debunking possible easter eggs where Yawi and Jeymz will go next. There are rumors that TNC could be their new destination.
Coach Kristoffer "BON CHAN" Ricaplaza posted some hints which could link Yawi's arrival to TNC given his fanbase.
But for now, their next home remains a mystery.
