tENSKI and Noxio complete Villainous roster

Villainous have completed their roster ahead of the start of ESL Challenger League Season 44 with the additions of Gabriel "tENSKI" Rodrigue and Sam "Noxio" Goodwin. The latter player joins as a replacement for Jake "zebra" Davis, who left the team on December 28th while tENSKI joins a replacement for Matthew "tatm" Munro.

Cory "shutout" Frymark and co. had been looking to make changes to their roster after a fairly disappointing 2-5 regular season performance in ECL Season 43, with the team having to play Relegation as a result. The first change in this vein was partying ways with tatm on December 20th while zebra was informed recently that the team intended to try out new players in his place.

This move marks tENSKI and Noxio's returns to ECL after last playing Season 42 with Unjustified and ex-Detonate, respectively.

Villainous are now:

• Cory "shutout" Frymark

• Brody "BeaKie" Kelly

• Alvin "Alvin" Bui

• Gabriel "tENSKI" Rodrigue

• Sam "Noxio" Goodwin

• Mark "CooperTrooper" Cooper (Coach)

Villainous await the start of ESL Challenger League Season 44 on January 17th.

Correction: An earlier version of this story omitted the addition of Noxio to the lineup. We apologize for the error.
