BoyzTrek's Team Chill and Other Updates

BoyzTrek's Ding Lao (formerly of NoMets Team) has unveiled his new team composed of players he personally hand-picked. The team is tentatively called Team Chill. The players he picked are Rovic "Yuki" Perez, Bernard Dale "Burnz" Flores, Topher / Top, Franco / Cocoy / Shy.lex, and Tassadar / Bhoymax. And they are still looking for a 6th member.

Yuki and Burnz, along with Ding were part of the legendary, almost unbeatable NoMets Team that won the Davao Cyber Expo 2007: Cyber Games Tournament, among others. Meanwhile, Top, Cocoy, and Bhoymax were part of DC Clan which reached the DCE: DCG quarterfinals round. Before, during, and right after the DCE: DCG it was already rumored that it was going to be NoMets' last tournament as a team.

With this announcement from Ding, along with the indication that he is going to "retire" so to speak, things are starting to unravel. More questions are being asked. What then? What will happen to the other half of the NoMets: Jay Arabia, Rioren Padama, and Jeztah Ching? What will happen to the rest of DC Clan? Will Team Chill be as strong, if not stronger, than NoMets? Will Boyztrek still be unbeatable?

This is the latest of the many team reorganizations in the wake of the DCE:DCG Tournament. Team RJ is no more. My players are now split into at least two teams. STQ1 and STQ3 are also no more. STQ2 lost at least two players. DDS lost two players, same with Blinque-Tech. 51ph is not a team anymore. Of the teams I am in contact with, it is safe to say that only Team Bytes and 50ph remain relatively intact.

As to how these team changes will affect the Davao gaming landscape is still something that we have to wait to see.
