Mentality players going into Season 29 with a new mentality & line-up
Derek "dVeeN" Vander Veen and Tony "w0w" Zachary will continue their Advanced careers in Season 29 along with three new teammates. Former MDL player, and new acquisition to the team, Nate "madcow" Retterath announced the news via Twitter.
Last season, Mentality showed off a 13-3 record, the 2nd best record in the league, thus securing the #2 seed in the playoffs. Unfortunately Vault would be too much for Mentality to handle and they dropped out in the Round of 16.
Along with madcow, former Guerrilla Tactics player Aleksandar "ALEKSANDAR" Hinojosa joins the squad, as well as madcow's former Cyclone teammate Michael "Swisher" Schmid.
With the new additions to the team, the roster will look as such for Season 29 Advanced:
- Derek "dVeeN" Vander Veen
- Tony "w0w" Zachary
- Aleksandar "ALEKSANDAR" Hinojosa
- Michael "Swisher" Schmid
- Nate "madcow" Retterath
The departed Mentality players include star player Keanu "DaneJoris" Reyes, who moved to Excelerate in the MDL, Colton "BASE" Musella, playing for Final Feature in Advanced next season, and Marc-Andre "NiSMO" Tayar who still remains on the Mentality roster, but will be vacant from the starting line-up.
It is not currently known if the new team will remain with the organization.
