Singularity sign ben1337 and PwnAlone
With Singularity set to play against NRG tonight in the first week of ECS Season 8, the team have refilled their roster with the additions of Ben "ben1337" Smith and Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue.
This move follows our report yesterday that Singularity were planning on using the pair alongside Robert "robby" Brown as stand-ins tonight. While the team will still be using robby tonight due to Ryan "ryann" Welsh currently standing-in for Envy, the announcement seems to suggest players thought to be departing will be sticking with Singularity.
Singularity's roster has undergone a flurry of changes recently with South African organization ATK acquiring Josh "oSee" Ohm and Ricky "floppy" Kemery at the start of the month, and the team parting ways with long-time coach Jared "MAC-1" Schneider soon after.
Additionally, a report by Jarek "DeKay" Lewis at Dexerto stated that Chaos were targeting Cameron "hydrex" Kern and Alan "Shakezullah" Hardeman, as the organization have cast their eyes towards a North American team. It is unknown if the deal is still on the table in any form.
With these changes, Singularity now have:
- Cameron "hydrex" Kern
- Ryan "ryann" Welsh
- Alan "Shakezullah" Hardeman
- Ben "ben1337" Smith
- Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue
Singularity are set to debut their new roster with robby as a stand-in for ryann at 9PM EDT tonight, where they will take on NRG.
