Grizzlys come to life
The fate of the ESEA MDL spot of FRENCH CANADIANS has been the source of much speculation, with the roster seemingly disbanding at the conclusion of the previous season.
Now, with Anthony "gMd" Guimond off to ESL Pro League with Rogue, Yassine "Subroza" Taofik seemingly linking up with Ghost, and Loic "effys" Sauvageau plying his trade with Say No More, the situation has finally become clearer.
Former Rogue coach Garett "Grt" Bambrough has linked up with Grizzlys Esports to "build around fresh talent", given his experience. Anchoring the ESEA spot will be Mert "REOVA" Bayrak and Keven "PLAYER1" Champagne (in a brief return from retirement), joined by younger players. It is not known if the two former FRENCH CANADIANS members will continue playing with the team beyond the required matches.
Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen is most well-known for his time with Ze Pug Godz, whereas Alex "vek" Voynov is notable for his non-joining of Murderers Row 5/Orion. Rounding out the squad is Jake "theTRUTH" Hass, who has made several appearances on our Rank G/Rank S weekly recaps.
Grizzlys roster for now will be:
Mert "REOVA" Bayrak
Keven "PLAYER1" Champagne- Jimmy "Marved" Nguyen
- Alex "vek" Voynov
Jake "theTRUTH" Hass- Garett "Grt" Bambrough
While Grt will not be playing with the team initially, it is planned that he will enter the active lineup in the future, on top of assuming IGL duties. Grizzlys will make their MDL debut tonight at 10 PM EST, facing off against their Canadian brethren subtLe. Due to starting off their season late, the team actually have three matches on the schedule this week.
