ex-BHOP look for reinforcements after key departure

ex-BHOP has been reduced to four active members with yesterday's announcement that Brandon "bew" Roberts has left the team. Alongside bew, ex-BHOP may see another departure in short order as Jack "micro" Ryan has also expressed his intent to search for individual offers.

The changes to ex-BHOP's composition come amidst a number of new teams taking shape in the NA scene, with bew's defection reasonably coming amidst the potential revival of a Josh "steel" Nissan and Jonathan "Jonji" Carey-led Bad News Bears. While that roster is still in its formative period, the offer was too enticing to pass up.

As for micro, he told Dust2.us that he doesn't rule out staying with ex-BHOP, however the departure of bew has led him to see if he can find a more promising individual offer elsewhere.

Should micro leave ex-BHOP, the team would be reduced to:

• Andrew "Andrew" Burrell

• Drew "drewtheshrew" Lamb

• Mohamed "Penguin Algadir

• Byron "mst" Masterson (Coach)

• Lucas "icee" Baccay (Analyst)

ex-BHOP will need to work quickly to rebuild their roster as the circuit is back in full swing post-player break.
