Zomblers cut Zoker for man327

Last night Zomblers announced the addition of Owen "man327" Seolas, seeing the rookie rifler replace Max "Zoker" Laping on the lineup. The addition of man327 marks the first change in Zomblers' starting five since the addition of Zoker in May, when he joined as a replacement for the retiring Ben "HAMBOOGA" Wetrich.

The removal of Zoker appears to have some degree of acrimony behind it as Dust2.us was unable to get a clear answer on why he was cut. Andrew "CAJUN" Guidroz initially told Dust2.us that "so much that happened" during Zoker's time with the team and that he would need to sit down in a call to explain it. However, some hours later CAJUN simply said Zoker "didn’t work out."

In a similar vein, Zoker simply offered "environment incompatibility" and "cohesion issues" as the reasons behind his departure without further explanation.

His replacement, man327, is a true rookie in every sense of the word, with the former Outfit 49 player having zero maps on HLTV while Season 58 is only his fourth season of ESEA Advanced. To his credit, man327 has helped Zomblers to a 2-1 thus far this season while CAJUN has a good record when it comes to bringing up young talent.

Zomblers are now:

• Connor "CoolComs" Barnes

• Andrew "CAJUN" Guidroz

• Nikolaos "Pose1doNN" Antoniou

• Colton "FxRE" Thrasher

• Owen "man327" Seolas

• Gabriel "Nightlie" Yamauchi (Coach)

Zomblers' next match in ESEA Advanced Season 58 will be against Imperium on July 23rd.
