At the second spot is D2E, the younger twin brother of G9. He plays for RRQ Athena and is an entry fragger for the team. The squad has been able to create an aura around them when they play LAN events and the majority of the credit goes to D2E, who has the capability to clutch his opponents and take them down in a trice.

However, he refrains from taking credit, stating that it is the collective pride of the team that reaps wonderful results. Additionally, he said in an interview that the team embodied a pot, wherein some players drew from it while the others performed different roles, depending on the moment.

With Earnny and Beer assuming the assaulting responsibilities of the team and with G9 backing it up with excellent call outs, this team is showing no signs of stopping. After topping the PMPL Thailand Region Finals, it would be interesting to see how they perform in the World League.

On the monetary front, D2E earns the same amount as his twin brother.
