E2MAX confident in TNC’s growth amid struggles


By: Jan Marcus Montevirgen

TNC Pro Team remains winless in the current standings of MPL Philippines Season 14, and assistant coach Patrick “E2MAX” Caidic is urging his team to focus on addressing their weaknesses as they approach their remaining matches.

According to E2MAX, the key to improving is maintaining momentum throughout the game, particularly in the crucial late stages.

The team has shown strength in the early and mid-game phases of previous matches, but consistently falls short in late-game decision-making – ultimately costing them both individual matches and the entire series.

“Siguro para sa nangyayari ngayon sa team, siyempre kailangan pa rin namin alamin yung mga saan kami nagkukulang. Mag-focus doon sa mga weaknesses namin, ‘tas ma-maintain yung mga strengths ng team,” said the 28-year-old coach during the post-match interview.

“Actually, sa mga talo namin, ang kagandahan lang doon [ay] hawak namin yung early at mid-game.”

Caidic highlighted their recent match against Bren Esports, noting that Bren controlled all phases of the game, unlike TNC’s previous matches where they at least held the early and mid-game.

“So pinaka-kinakapos lang talaga lately pero yung laban sa Bren, na-control talaga nila yung buong early, mid, tsaka late… Kinakapos lang naman kami sa late game decision. Pero yung early [at] mid nakukuha naman namin,” he added.

He emphasized the challenges they faced in the match against Bren, particularly their opponents’ map control and wave management in Game 2.

Despite this, E2MAX remains optimistic, stating, “Ilalaban pa rin namin, kailangan pa rin maniwala sa team kase hindi pa naman tapos yung season tsaka hindi pa naman na-aannounce na laglag na. So kailangan talagang bumawi.”

Despite their winless record, TNC remains positive heading into the second half of the season. The team’s confidence is bolstered by their strong performance during practice sessions, and they believe they can compete with the reigning world champions.

“Actually, papasok talaga ngayong week, sobrang ganda ng mga resulta namin pagdating sa practice eh. Hindi namin ine-expect na makukuha yung win pero confident kami na kaya naming makasabay,” E2max shared.

He continued to highlight the confidence the team gained from their practice sessions, stating, “All throughout noong linggo, sobrang ganda rin ng mga resulta pagdating sa practice. May confidence talaga kami ngayon sa AP.Bren na kaya naming makasabay.”

E2MAX also revealed that the team’s motivation stems from their “Trust the process” mindset. Despite their poor record, they believe in their system and are focused on building the synergy needed for the remaining matches.

“Siguro yung proseso na parang dito kami naniniwala eh, yung proseso ng team. Ganon talaga sa umpisa ng mga bagong build na roster – medyo mahirap pa mag-expect ng resulta… Pero alam naming kahit na may madilim na dumadaan, nag-i-improve yung team,” he said.

He further explained that while the team has faced numerous losses, they have also gained valuable lessons from those defeats.

“Mas nabi-build yung samahan, yung chemistry syempre sa mga talo [at] wins, diyan mas makikilala yung mga kasama mo, yung mga ka-team mo,” he added.

E2MAX concluded by emphasizing the importance of patience and perseverance, saying, “Kailangan naming bumangon sa mga pagkakamali namin and maniwala lang kami sa proseso ng improvements. Wala namang sobrang bilis na results. Wag lang mag-expect ng mabilis na results pero ang ine-expect namin yung tuluy-tuloy na practice ng team.

“Yun lang siguro yung kailangan naming pang-hawakan.”
