According to sources close to
Sheep Esports, Kim
“TenTen” Tae-young is set to join
MURASH GAMING, with the Korean player expected to replace Seigi
“Ask” Yamamoto for the remainder of the VCL Japan season. Following a path that took him through ZETA DIVISION and Team Secret in the VCT Pacific, the move that sends him back to Tier 2 represents a small step backward.
The team seemed to need a fresh dynamic after a relatively disappointing first split. MURASH GAMING had, in fact, finished in 7th–8th place in Split 1 of the VCL Japan. This change also ppears to be a clear attempt to add more explosiveness to the lineup. Ask has been part of MURASH since January 2025 and has recently played Controller and flex agents such as Viper, Astra, Tejo, and Fade, while TenTen is better known for his attacking profile and background as a Duelist.
That contrast makes the move particularly interesting: MURASH would not simply be replacing one player with another, but could alter the team’s balance and identity. MURASH already have several experienced and talented names on their roster, including Tenta “TENNN” Asai, whose résumé includes a stint with ZETA DIVISION, appearances at Champions, and a third-place finish at
Masters Reykjavík 2022.
TenTen’s arrival could provide the team with another aggressive win condition, greater pressure in opening duels, and a player who can bring international experience into the Japanese Challengers environment.
