Shortly after it was revealed BOOM hadn't made it into franchising, tehbotoL began to seek offers. In the months leading up to the final partnership decision, tebhotoL had been an important part in keeping BOOM's reputation as top APAC team. Despite their consistent presences in APAC tournaments, BOOM only finished above the top-six once, in March this year. The team got their big break in the APAC LCQ, which they won against ONIC G ONIC G Inactive , qualifying to Champions in the process. But the lack of international experience quickly caught up to tehbotoL's squad, who struck out of the groups in last place.

EJAY joined Bren after representing several lesser-known squads Filipino squads. His eight-month long tenure with the squad took the team to two both VCT Philippines main events, but larger APAC events eluded them. In two of their final 2022 tournaments, Bren again failed to make their mark in APAC competition, and the roster disbanded entirely earlier this month.

tehbotoL and EJAY replace Franz "Kevzii" Kevin Dingal and Jose "Draxi" Eduardo D. Jamir, who announced yesterday their status as free agents. For RRQ, it's their second and seemingly last move before the arrival of the partnership league. Just over a week ago, they linked up with coach Marthinus "Ewok" Jacobus Van Der Walt, who spent most of 2022 with ONIC.

even if you are just talking about the players then the slander is still valid because although yes, a roster like this with a good coaching staff can compete, this is not a risk that should be taken into franchising especially when these players aren't the best available. This roster isn't as good as you say it is. This core have competed in the apac scene before both historically and recently and have not in able to compete in APAC as a whole. Now the problem is that better players like the 'indo superteam' that people keep mentioning may not find a team because this slot is used up on t2 players.

edit: +this is the PACIFIC LEAGUE. there are only 10 teams in this league. this is not a time to try an experiment that may drag down the overall quality of the league especially when the info that you have on who might actually be a good upcoming player with potential is so scarce because there have been no competition in 2023 challengers and ascension yet
