TIGER, a Chinese organization with a full Mongolian roster that recently defeated TyLoo and won ESL One: Road to Rio (Asia) grabbing 1600 RMR points besides $4,000 is inching for a roster move. According to a report by DBLTAP, TIGER is in talks with Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer and Owen “smooya” Butterfield.

Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer was benched by Heroic in April 2020 earlier this year. However, the 29-year-old in-game-leader is still under contract with the Danish organization. His arrival at TIGER will bring much needed experience into the lineup.

Owen “smooya” Butterfield is, at present, a free agent after his departure from Chaos Esports Club. He had to leave the roster in the middle of Flashpoint 1 due to visa problems amid the coronavirus pandemic. The 20-year-old British sniper will surely wreak havoc in Asia.

If the alleged roster move comes to fruition, TIGER will lose 40% (640) of the 1600 RMR points due to the changes in the active lineup. Yesuntumur “nin9” Gantulga and Bold “ncl” Batsuh are likely to make way for the incoming players. The revamped roster of TIGER will be:

  • Batbayar “kabal” Bat-Enkh
  • Gan-Erdene “dobu” Batbold
  • Erdenetsogt “erkaSt” Gantulga
  • Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer
  • Owen “smooya” Butterfield
