G4NG forms with bootylord, micro, Drewtheshrew, Melloh, JBa
With the start of ESEA Advanced Season 39 right around the corner, a new lineup under the tag G4NG has formed based around former eRa Eternity players Kaid "bootylord" Miller and Jack "micro" Ryan. Rounding out the roster are former Big Chillin player Brendan "Melloh" Mello, former Levitate player Drew "Drewtheshrew" Lamb, and Josh "JBa" Barutt.
While playing for eRa Eternity last season, bootylord and micro made their way into playoffs as the twelfth seed and were dispatched in the first round of the lower bracket, taking a map off Detonate in their first match but otherwise having little impact on the bracket. micro is hopefully a familiar name for longtime followers of Dust2.us, as he previously played Premier with Incognito and The Commission during seasons 35 and 36.
Melloh also comes into this lineup with Premier experience, having played seasons 37 and 38 with Big Chillin. He looks to make his way back into the division after Big Chillin were relegated after only winning three maps over the course of Season 38.
Drewtheshrew joins G4NG after exiting Levitate following their disappointing run in ESEA Advanced Season 38 playoffs. Outside of micro and Melloh he is the most experienced member of G4NG, having made Advanced playoffs the past three seasons in a row.
The final member of the team, JBa, is the least experienced of this new quintet, having only qualified to Advanced in Season 37. His largest achievement to date is making top eight with Villainous Academy in ESEA Main Season 36.
With these pieces assembled, G4NG consists of:
- Kaid "bootylord" Miller
- Jack "micro" Ryan
- Brendan "Melloh" Mello
- Drew "Drewtheshrew" Lamb
- Josh "JBa" Barutt
G4NG will have their debut match on October 24th in ESEA Advanced Season 39 as they are set to take on Rectify at 8PM EDT.
