Wanted Goons lose Bandits roster
On July 16th, Jayde "Jaydee" Slabosz announced that her lineup has parted ways with Wanted Goons after ten months, with the former Bandits lineup now entering free agency ahead of ESL Impact Season 6. Wanted Goons Bandits competed in ESL Impact Season 5, finishing the season towards the bottom of the standings with a 1-5 record.
Dust2.us reached out to Jaydee for comment on why the lineup decided to leave Wanted Goons, Jaydee stated that:
We had an amazing time with Wanted Goons over the last year, and we achieved a lot together. We’re incredibly thankful for the support and opportunities they provided. We wish all teams under WG nothing but success. Unfortunately, we could no longer represent the organization in a way that felt authentic to us. We’re excited for the future and the new opportunities ahead. We're currently searching for a new organization to proudly represent and call home for Impact Season 6.
When asked for further context on why the team "could no longer represent the organization in a way that felt authentic to us," Jaydee declined further comment, stating that the matter had been "addressed internally with management at Wanted Goons."
With the team leaving the Wanted Goons organization, they are now set to play as Gnomes while seeking out a new home for ESL Impact Season 6. The team will need to progress through the open qualifiers to reclaim their spot in the league, with the team yet to sign up for either open qualifier.
Gnomes are now:
-
Kristen "PippySippy" Hendrickson
-
Milla "MamaAlien" Schmidt
-
Jayde "Jaydee" Slabosz
-
Rose "Tippy" Rolle

Alexandra "ADK" Duquette Kistabish
