Bad News Bears reunite for final Autumn Cash Cup

With this weekend's ESEA Cash Cup set to be a pivotal one of North America, Alan "Shakezullah" Hardeman has elected to enter the fray with a mixteam consisting of his old Bad News Bears comrades alongside a surprising Estonian addition. Shakezullah's Disciples will see Shakezullah reunite once again with Paytyn "junior" Johnson and Gabe "Spongey" Greiner as well as the Pakistani duo of Saad "Pluto" Siraj and Khizar "Momo" Rehman.

Alongside the Bad News Bears stack, Denis "swicher" Baranov has been called upon to play with the Bears on the first day of the Cash Cup. Due to the Estonian heading back to Europe for the holidays, he will be swapped out on Sunday should the team make it to that stage by Spongey.

While Shakezullah's Disciples are only playing for the prizepool, the presence of this squad in the Cash Cup could throw a wrench in the plans for a number of hopeful NA squads looking to qualify to IEM Katowice.

Shakezullah's Disciples are:

• Alan "Shakezullah" Hardeman

• Paytyn "junior" Johnson

• Saad "Pluto" Siraj

• Khizar "Momo" Rehman

• Denis "swicher" Baranov (Playing on Saturday)

• Gabe "Spongey" Greiner (Playing on Sunday)

ESEA Autumn Cash Cup 6 is set to start today at 05:00PM.
