Eric M. Redulfin, CEO of TNC, also posted a video shared TNC’s social media channels. In it, he offered his sincere thanks to both Kuku and Eyyou for staying with TNC, and for making a historic TI6 run, which resulted in the team finishing in the seventh-eighth place.

He then added that both players have reached a mutual understanding with TNC about leaving the organization. He also pointed out that their performances with TNC have inspired plenty of gamers and reshaped the image of Dota in the Philippines.
