Official: Nouns add CLASIA on trial

As first reported by Dust2.us earlier today, Nouns have announced the addition of Anthony "CLASIA" Kearney on trial while Edgar "MarKE" Maldonado has been moved to the bench. CLASIA's trial with Nouns is set to run throughout the remaining two weeks of April, with the 20-year-old rifler making his return to competition after leaving MIGHT in November 2023.

As stated in a video released by head coach Eric "adreN" Hoag on X, the goal of this change is to "change the dynamic within the team" while reevaluating the future of the lineup. In adding CLASIA, adreN stated the goal was to give young talent a chance while keeping the roster North American moving forward.

CLASIA should be a natural fit for the lineup as he has experience playing with the majority of Nouns' lineup. While their previous engagement ended in a somewhat acrimonious split, CLASIA is a mechanically gifted rifler who should help Nouns increase their firepower heading into the second quarter of the year.

Nouns are now:

• Carson "nosraC" O'Reilly

• Christopher "cJ" Jones

• Paytyn "junior" Johnson

• Jeorge "Jeorge" Endicott

• Anthony "CLASIA" Kearney (Trial)

• Eric "adreN" Hoag (Coach)

Nouns are set to start the Esports World Cup North American Open Qualifier in a matter of minutes, with CLASIA set to make his debut with the team in the qualifier.
