Since entering the MPL PH scene in Season 9, TNC has faced numerous challenges:

Season 9: Debut season, finished 8th place.

Season 10: Major improvement, placed 3rd.

Seasons 11–14: Inconsistent performances, returning to 8th place finishes and missing playoffs.

Season 15: First-ever playoffs secured!

From Phoenix Rising to Soaring High

After seasons of doubt, roster changes, and countless hours of grinding, TNC has finally proven they can compete with the MPL’s best. Their playoffs qualification is a product of renewed synergy, strategic upgrades, and most importantly—a belief in their growth.

Their journey reminds fans and aspiring players alike that success in esports isn't always instant. Sometimes, it's about trusting the process, sticking with your system, and never losing sight of your goal.

What’s Next for TNC?

The playoffs stage awaits—and with it, a chance to make history yet again. With momentum on their side and a chip on their shoulder, TNC is looking to make a deep run and silence any remaining critics.

Will this be the start of a new TNC era in the MPL PH?
