MANILA – Blacklist Rivalry announced Saturday its revamped Dota 2 roster for its anticipated push for the Esports World Cup.

The "new-look" squad still included Abed "Abed" Yusop and Kim "Gabbi" Santos, who reportedly got involved in a "physical confrontation."

Earlier this week, Blacklist CEO Tryke Gutierrez said in an interview with local esports broadcast channel "KuyaNic" that the two Blacklist mainstays were "heavily penalized" due to said issue and fines would be donated to selected charities.

Meanwhile, the team has recruited John "Natsumi-" Vargas, who will be playing the position one carry, and Jaunuel "Jaunuel" Arcilla will be supporting as position five player.

The development also marks a return to a full Pinoy squad after Peruvian Romel Quinteros "Mjz" Rojas' departure from the crew.

Amid the roster ruckus, Timothy "TIMS" Randrup will be staying as position four support player for Blacklist.

The Pinoy Dota 2 squad last played in Elite League, where they placed 15th-16th.

Despite qualifying for PGL Wallachia Season 1 and taking the Southeast Asia slot, Blacklist has not participated in the Bucharest tourney due to visa issues.
