CheckSix overhaul roster with LenNox and rugrat

The pair of Main players will look to turnaround the fortunes of joshbM and flashstep.

ESEA MDL side CheckSix, who were depleted to four members after the departure of Marian "tyfoon" Lesnic at the conclusion of the season, have added Andy "LenNox" Collins and Nassir "rugrat" Francique, Dust2.us has learned. Both players spent last season in ESEA Main with Conspiracy 3D — that squad went 12-4 before falling to eventual third place finishers HentaiWeeabooMasterLords in the opening round of post-season play.

In order to make room for the pair, Nick "zeptic" Kaoud will no longer be representing CheckSix. After the MDL season finished up, zeptic played the CEVO Main playoffs with the Good People mix, posting a 1.10 rating over seven maps.

CheckSix's roster for the upcoming season now figures to be:

  • United States Josh "joshbM" Blier
  • United States Corey "flashstep" Parks
  • United States Jacob "L0NER" Webster
  • United States Andy "LenNox" Collins
  • Canada Nassir "rugrat" Francique

When approached for comment by Dust2.us, team captain Josh "joshbM" Blier shared the following on the roster moves:

Zeptic decided to go his own way, he was a very talented player and he will be missed and we wish him the best of luck in the future. LenNox and rugrat are two additions to the team that have brought a different outlook on how we do things. We are hard at practice with the new team, we feel we are getting better each and every day, and only hope to keep progressing throughout the off-season. We have big hopes for our two newest members, they have shown great promise

Team leaders joshbM and Corey "flashstep" Parks will look to their trio of youngsters to return the pair to winning ways. While a joshbM-led squad has remained in Premier/MDL since Season 19, he has not had a winning campaign since Season 22. Prior to that, his teams had reached playoffs every season, with the best result being a third place finish with Leader-1 in Season 20 (the same team that attended the MLG Columbus Americas Minor).

I have just realized that MLG Columbus was almost 2 years ago.
