Recon 5 retain team for Season 33; add zecK as coach
Recon 5 have announced that they will retain their Advanced Season 32-winning lineup heading into MDL Season 33, while additionally revealing that they have brought on Addison "zecK" Gorzeck as a coach.
Recon 5 impressed in their run through the Advanced playoffs bracket as they entered the tournament as the eight seed, going undefeated all the way through to the grand final. There, they prevailed 3-0 over Faint, who at the time were coached by zecK. More recently, Recon 5 competed in the fifth iteration of the Mythic Cup, but were eliminated in their first round matchup against LiViD.
Prior to his three-month tenure as Faint's coach, zecK played alongside two of the Faint roster members in the form of Sterling "sterling" Allard and Nolan "bite" Hunstad under the heX banner during Season 31. There, the team managed a 3-4th placement in the Advanced playoffs, but fell in Relegation against Mythic and Bushido Boyz to find themselves cut short of a spot in MDL.
With zecK's addition, Recon 5 are now:
- Eric "Kanpeki" Xu
- Adam "freshie" Paterson
- Peter "Asuna" Mazuryk
- Wayne "castro" Einarsson
- Norman "contii" Yeung
- Addison "zecK" Gorzeck (Coach)
Recon 5 will debut with zecK in the near future as the MDL season is set to get underway on January 13th.
