Pinoy trio vows to win Dota major trophy in Germany

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

The Philippine-based TNC Predator Dota 2 professional team are looking to make some noise in the Dota Pro Circuit in Leipzig, Germany.

Three Pinoys will be representing TNC, Kim “Gabbi” Villafuente, Armel “Armel” Tabios, and Timothy “Tims” Randrup, as the main core of the squad.

Gabbi, Armel, and Tims are joined by Australian Damien “Kpii” Chok and Korean Park “March” Tae-won, both former major champions and veterans in the Dota 2 community.

The tournament will be included in the point tally acquisition for the next International edition, and winning the Dota Pro Circuit is a top priority of the squad as they try to rack up their point total, TNC said.

One of the early Major tournaments this year, the Pro Circuit is one of the most sought tourneys as it gives one of the largest point boost.

Aside from the Pinoy trio in TNC, one Pinoy will also see action in the Pro Circuit, Abed “Abed” Yusop who was recently drafted by the powerhouse Evil Geniuses squad.
