Wildcard add oBo as sub for Ace NA Masters Spring OQ

Wildcard have made a surprise addition to their roster for the Ace NA Masters Spring Open Qualifier #1, adding Owen "oBo" Schlatter to their ranks for the event. The former EG and Complexity player's addition to the squad for the qualifier on Gamers Club is a result of severe weather knocking out Gage "Infinite" Green's power, leaving the Oregon resident without consistent power since January 15th according to manager Jeremy "Jeremy9000" Gray.

With estimates suggesting Infinite's power may not be restored until the 24th, Wildcard have requested oBo's services should Infinite be unable to play. The qualifier will potentially be oBo's second event in recent weeks, having played the first open qualifier for the PGL Major Copenhagen Americas RMR on January 8th. Despite the qualifier being his first CS2 officials ever, oBo played well, making top 32 with the gamin4fun mixteam.

While the choice of oBo seems like it came out of left field, it is worth noting that Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz was oBo's most recent IGL while Matt "Warden" Dickens also briefly managed him on Complexity. Additionally, Jeremy9000 worked with oBo all the way back in 2016 when oBo was 14 years old. As such, while adding oBo is definitely a bold decision, they should be able to get the best out of him if needed.

Wildcard will participate in the qualifier with the following roster:

• Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz

• Gage "Infinite" Green

• Josh "JBa" Barutt

• Keller "SLIGHT" Nilan

• Aran "Sonic" Groesbeek

• Owen "oBo" Schlatter (Substitute)

• Matt "Warden" Dickens (Coach)

• João "horvy" Horvath (Coach)

Wildcard will be in action when the Ace NA Masters Spring Open Qualifier #1 begins on January 23rd.
