SN4P steps into the role left vacant by former ONIC PH coach Tony “Ynot” Senedrin, who resigned after accepting a position with Navi in MPL Indonesia. 

Ynot’s departure, as well as numerous changes from the previous pool, prompted SIBOL to hold a fresh set of national qualifiers, which Team Liquid PH won.

The reigning MPL PH champions overcame Team Falcons in a tense five-game finale, a performance that not only showcased their dominance but also cemented SN4P’s role as head coach of the national team.

SN4P will be supported by a powerhouse coaching lineup, including Francis “Duckey” Glindro of Team Falcons, Michael “Arcadia” Bocado of Selangor, and Denver “Yeb” Miranda of ONIC Esports. 

Together, the four will oversee the upcoming combine, which will determine the six players who will represent the Philippines on the Asian stage.

The player pool draws from the top four squads in the qualifiers: Team Liquid PH, Team Falcons PH, ONIC PH, and amateur side Aurora Hunters. 

From Team Liquid PH, the candidates are Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya, Alston “Sanji” Pabico, Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz, and Dave “Teddyqt” Viana.

Team Falcons PH puts forward David “Flap” Canon, Michael “Kyle” Sayson, Stephen “Super Marco” Requitiano, Rowgien “Owgwen” Unigo, and Salic “Hadji” Imam.

Representing ONIC PH are King “K1NGKONG” Perez, Duane “Kelra” Pillas, Frince “Super Frince” Ramirez, Borris “Brusko” Parro, and Jann “Kirk” Gutierrez.

Rounding out the pool are Michael “Atams” Eusebio, Zehnder “Zehn” Fabugais, Chrysler “Eskapo” Vivar, Adrian “VLADD” Caparas, and Gabriel “Denjiro” Guinto of Aurora Hunters.
