Talon Esports announced their parting ways with Carlo “Kuku” Palad. The Filipino offlaner joined the team on October 21, 2024, and over nine months, helped the club achieve one of the best results in its history.

Under Kuku's leadership, Talon secured 3rd place at DreamLeague Season 26, marking the team's first major success in Tier-1 tournaments. The team also advanced to the Esports World Cup 2025, where they finished in the top 12.

Kuku played a key role in our first LAN victory, helped overcome internal challenges, and secured a top-3 finish. Salamat, boss!
Stated in the club's official statement.

Talon noted that the separation was a mutual decision. The name of the new captain has not yet been disclosed.
