Mineski at ESL One Manila

In the winter season leading up to the Shanghai Major, Mineski was consistently besting the SEA giants, Fnatic, for the qualifier spots in LANs. They were quickly rising to the top in the region and making an international name for themselves. Unable to lock up any major achievements, the Filipino team experienced some roster changes, welcoming Benhur “Ben” Lawis and Jun “Bok” Kanehara to the mix.

Mineski was able to best their regional rivals, TnC Gaming, 3:1, in the best-of-five grand finals of the ESL One Manila qualifiers, seizinga spot and eventually took seventh-eighth place finish.

They then qualified for the Manila Major – taking a disappointing 13-16th place.

Last month Mineski announced that the famed Singaporean player Gavin “Meracle” Kang had officially joined the team.

Meracle assumed the carry role in Mineski, Ryan Jay “Raging-_-Potato/Bimbo” Qui returned to his roots on the midlane and Michael “Ninjaboogie” Ross became active as a primary member – filling the position 5 support role.

Both Benhur “Benhur” Lawis and Mark “Cast” Pilar had been “benched” and moved into the substitute roles while and Jessie “JessieVash” Cuyco had moved into the coaching position. Cast, Benhur left the team just last week as well as Bok.
