FLUFFY AIMERS bet on two youngsters as PNDLM, nooz head to the bench

FLUFFY AIMERS have announced the latest change to their ranks as Darius "PNDLM" Bandali and Nelvin "nooz" Gonzalez have been moved to the bench while the organization has bet on ESEA Advanced duo Vova "bezymecc" Slobodian and Dylan "slump" N. to take their places on the lineup.

The surprise change to FLUFFY AIMERS' ranks comes right before the team's debut in ESL Challenger League Season 48 as the squad looks to improve on their 8-20 record from last season. According to the team, the changes were unplanned, as FishTheHusky told Dust2.us that nooz stepped down after receiving an offer from another team while PNDLM also went to the bench due to FA losing nooz.

With two of their key players out of the lineup, IGL Brett "brett" Rhein, coach Ahmed "ayy" Mahmoud, and FishTheHusky decided to look towards young talent in ESEA Advanced to try and reinvent the team while also needing to find talent at the last minute.

bezymeccc joins the team with the least experience of the incoming duo, with the 19-year-old Ukrainian player only joining his first team, Lore, last season after qualifying to FACEIT Pro League and proving himself something of a pug star in the NA scene. As for Slump, he has a bit more experience, having played the last three seasons of ESEA Advanced playoffs on a mixteam alongside Kevin "cypress" Quib and Jose "raw1" M.

However, this will be the first season of ECL for both players, with it undoubtedly requiring a step up for both players against some of NA's best teams.

Regarding nooz's future destination, Dust2.us understands that the Venezuelan rifler is a target of Perseverance, and FLUFFY AIMERS is looking to facilitate a loan so that nooz can join the Canadian organization.

FLUFFY AIMERS are now:

• Jason "Jason" Garcia

• Diego "sacrifice" Camacho

• Brett "brett" Rhein

• Vova "bezymecc" Slobodian

• Dylan "slump" N.

• Ahmed "ayy" Mahmoud (Coach)

• Kevin "consti" Yi (Inactive)

• Israel "LEARSI" Vargas (Inactive)

• Darius "PNDLM" Bandali (Inactive)

• Nelvin "nooz" Gonzalez (Inactive)

FLUFFY AIMERS' new roster will make their debut tonight at 09:00PM against NRG in ESL Challenger League Season 48.
