Badass bring in dea, Peeping

Heading into the winter playing break, Badass have elected to make two changes to their roster, seeing Tianyi "Fr3nk1e" He and Kevin "consti" Yi leave the lineup while adding FLUFFY AIMERS players Deni "dea" Ediev and Jaxon "Peeping" Cornwell. The move comes after the duo have been spotted playing with Badass on multiple occasions, with Peeping, in particular, being a part of the Badass lineup that won Fragicago 2023 in early December.

The changes to Badass' formation come after a top-eight finish in ESL Challenger League Season 46, where Badass took down Mythic before being felled by Evil Geniuses in an earlier-than-expected lower-bracket appearance. Outside of ECL, Badass' most notable results under the org include the previously mentioned Fragicago 2023 win and a win at GG EZ Dallas 2023 in late October.

Wyatt "snav" Phillippi told Dust2.us that Fr3nk1e stepped down from the team to focus on his last semester of college while consti was removed to make space for the incoming duo. As for the decision to leave FLUFFY AIMERS, Peeping said that he enjoyed playing with FA, but that he wanted to explore new opportunities heading into next season.

As such, Badass are now:

• Wyatt "snav" Phillippi

• Derek "dare" Brown

• Shane "shane" Dressler

• Jaxon "Peeping" Cornwell

• Deni "Dea" Ediev
