xns moved to oNe's bench, malbsMd targeted as replacement
Brazilian squad oNe have announced that Enzo "xns" Henrique has been moved to the team's bench. Dust2.us has been made aware that the benching was a mutual decision, as xns was not feeling comfortable on the roster and wanted to search for new opportunities. Additionally, with the recent news of 00 Nation's intended overhaul, it is reported that oNe will be seeking the services of Mario "malbsMd" Samoya to fill the open spot on the roster.
This move marks the end of xns' time on the active lineup, of which he was a part for just over thirteen months. During this time, xns helped oNe qualify for ESL Pro League Season 14 and the IEM Cologne 2021 Play-In, where the team bowed out without a series win in both events. Domestically, xms helped oNe secure first place in ESEA Premier Season 37, as well as a semifinal finish at Fragadelphia 16 earlier this year.
2022 has been a chaotic year for the oNe roster, as xns' benching is part of a long list of moves that the team has undergone since the beginning of the year. Following the departure of malbsMd for 00NATION in January, oNe signed Alencar "trk" Rossato, who had previously played under the oNe banner from 2016 to 2020. The signing of trk was quickly followed up by the benching of long-time oNe player Matheus "prt" Scuvero, who was replaced with DETONA's Ruann "keiz" Rotondano.
In April, not satisfied with the direction the roster was heading, oNe once again opted to make changes. The newest addition, keiz, found himself moved to the squad's bench, with his spot being filled by Victor "iDk" Torraca, who, similarly to trk, had previously played for oNe for a lengthy period from 2016 to 2019.
The organization was not content with swapping out just players, as oNe also opted for an overhaul of the team's coaching staff. This saw oNe acquire the services of Vitor "eleito" Estíva as head coach in March, while Julio "jun" Junior took the role of assistant coach. Not even two weeks after the signing of the two coaches, eleito was moved to a managerial role for the squad while jun took on the position of head coach.
If oNe opt to sign malbsMd, their roster will be:
-
Pedro "Maluk3" Campos
-
Matheus "pesadelo" Panisset
-
Alencar "trk" Rossato
-
Victor "iDk" Torraca
-
Mario "malbsMd" Samoya
-
Matheus "prt" Scuvero (Inactive)
-
Ruann "keiz" Rotondano (Inactive)
-
Enzo "xns" Almeida (Inactive)
-
Julio "jun" Junior (Coach)
oNe will need to get their fifth player signed rather quickly, as the team is still in the midst of their campaign in ESL Challenger League Season 41. The Brazilian side currently sits in the middle of Group A with a 3-2 record, utilizing their coach jun in their game against ex-UYU on Tuesday.
