ogwizard replaces WUMBO on latest HLTV Prospects list

HLTV just released the newest edition of their Top 50 Prospects list. Just like it has been since April, two North American representatives made the list: Adam "Grizz" Golden maintained his spot while Bogdan "ogwizard" Savula made his debut, replacing Chance "WUMBO" Boyer. All three players are currently on Marsborne.

Grizz has become a staple of the prospect lists as he has been hovering around the middle of the list in every edition since the start of the year. In the latest ranking, he got his highest placement yet: #20. He was helped by great performances at FRAG TAP Reloaded and NSTLGA League Season 1, where he got a 1.31 rating over nine maps to help them win the event.

In every edition of the list since April, Grizz has been accompanied by WUMBO, who was #48 on the last list. Now, WUMBO is out, and his teammate ogwizard has taken his spot at #49. ogwizard had a standout performance at FRAG TAP Reloaded, where he averaged a 1.25 rating over 12 maps, the best on his team. He also had a solid performance at NSTLGA League Season 1, helping the team win the event over Iowa Stormboar.

Though WUMBO was also strong in NSTLGA League Season 1, his decent 1.06 rating at FRAG TAP Reloaded wasn't up to ogwizard's level. However, they are both showing that Marsborne's new lineup is more than just the Grizz show.
