Quartet of Advanced teams make changes as season nears midpoint
As ESEA Advanced Season 33 approaches the middle of the season, a number of teams have made numerous changes to their rosters as they look to improve on their results from the past three weeks.
After Dogs of War signed a new lineup for Season 33 on January 2nd, the team have undergone a number of changes. On January 26th, they replaced the outgoing Sean "ashen" Yang and Walker "walker" Harris with Zander "FIEND" Bates and Kyle "Wolffe" Greenfield. On February 2nd, the team made their most recent change, replacing Kevin "consti" Yi with Bobby "stamina" Eitrem.
As a result, Dogs of War's roster is now:
Christian "Parars" Smith- "hydra"
- Zander "FIEND" Bates
- Kyle "Wolffe" Greenfield
- Bobby "stamina" Eitrem
Dogs of War currently sit in eighth place with a 6-2 overall record.
Next up, Brazen have brought on Paul "aris" Wilson as a replacement for Riley "violent" Levenson, with aris seemingly been ungrounded since leaving Clarity back on January 7th.
This move marks a reunion of last season's Clarity lineup that made playoffs before they were eliminated after losses to Precision and timbermen.
As such, Brazen are now:
- Brennan "grape" Greer
- Sean "naes" Fontaine
Adam "mada" Pampuch- Connor "chop" Sullivan
- Paul "aris" Wilson
Brazen are currently sitting in the middle of the division with a 4-5 record.
As for Super Nova, the team have made a large number of changes since losing stamina at the start of the year. Since then, Dust2.us has learned that the team have added Adam "Ange" Milian and Quintin "dolphy" Madsen as permanent members of the team while Eduardo "Link" Osuna stepped down from the team in late January due to finding a full-time job.
On February 9th, the team lost another member of their original lineup as Brazilian player Lucas "CutzMeretz" Freitas parted ways with the team.
Dust2.us has heard from sources close to the team that have added Jacob "L0NER" Webster as CutzMeretz's replacement. Additionally, the team are also looking at adding former Big Frames player Khizar "MoMo" Rehman to the lineup, although that move would only occur if Ange chose to depart the roster.
Super Nova currently has the following roster:
- Rahmin "ShoukR" Shoukoohi
- Derek "dVeeN" Vander Veen
- Quintin "dolphy" Madsen
- Adam "Ange" Milian
- Jacob "L0NER" Webster
- Michael "nart" Tran (Coach)
Super Nova currently sit towards the very bottom of the division with a 3-3 record.
Rounding out the list of notable changes, Black Rose have parted ways with Fernando "Chuti" Luis Planchart. In his place, the team's backup player, Stanley "calamity" Chiu, has received a promotion and will now be the lineup's fifth.
As such, Black Rose's lineup is now:
- Toryon "KLUMZ" Kelley
- Gabriel "GMAN" Ordaz
- Paolo "pao" Lope
- "Naniii"
- Stanley "calamity" Chiu
Black Rose are currently at the top of the division with a 7-2 record.
