DaZeD announces new ex-iBUYPOWER team; Pollo and dapr complete roster

Earlier this morning, it was noticed that there were new additions to the ESEA roster of GX, which Sam "DaZeD" Marine and Keven "AZK" Lariviere have been members of since 2013. It has now been revealed by DaZeD on his YouTube channel that this roster is indeed complete, and will compete in the upcoming season of ESEA Premier. With Josh "steel" Nissan returning to action in ESEA Premier as well, this confirms that all former iBUYPOWER members will be playing the next season.

The new additions to the team are Matt "Pollo" Wilson, most known for his time in the Pro League side RUSH, and Mike "dapr" Gulino, who just exited the Denial roster. The news comes on the back of an updated ruling from DreamHack, which will allow players who previously had lifetime bans to once again participate. With both ESL and DreamHack allowing them to play, a significant portion of the Counter-Strike calendar is available to them, with the notable exceptions of Valve Majors, ELEAGUE, and ECS.

As for the presence of Arya "arya" Hekmat on the roster, dust2.us knows that he was considered for the team, but ultimately excluded from the roster due to Marine wanting to wield the AWP himself. arya is currently in talks to join another Premier side.

The GX roster that will play ESEA Premier Season 26 is:

• DaZeD
• AZK
• swag
• Pollo
• dapr
