Report: Walco and Axed set to return to action on Party Astronauts
Dust2.us has learned from multiple sources that Colby "Walco" Walsh and Tommy "Axed" Ryan are set to return to action and join Party Astronauts for the 2025 season. The addition of the former Evil Geniuses duo will see both return to the NA scene after extended periods of downtime for both incoming additions, with Walco last playing for NRG in July 2024 while Axed has been without a team since leaving BOSS in May 2024.
Dust2.us understands that Walco will be joining Party Astronauts to replace Gage "Infinite" Green on the lineup as Infinite is set to join a new lineup in the coming days. While Walco is most known for his time as the IGL of Evil Geniuses and NRG, Dust2.us has learned that Ben "ben1337" Smith will remain at the helm of Party Astronauts.
This is not dissimilar to Walco's position on Party Astronauts during his previous outing with the team, having played as a role player on the orgless lineup from February 2024 to March 2024 before being picked up by NRG.
As for Axed, he is set to join Party Astronauts boasting a wealth of experience after stints with BOSS, Evil Geniuses, and RBG over the past three years.
Party Astronauts are expected to consist of:
-
Ben "ben1337" Smith
-
Justin "FaNg" Coakley
-
Bogdan "ogwizard" Savula
-
Wesley "viz" Harris
-
Colby "Walco" Walsh
-
Tommy "Axed" Ryan (Coach)
