Orion drop veK and gizie, add aesthetic and BOOBIE
Going into MDL Season 27, Orion have removed Alex "veK" Voynov and Linus "gizie" Giesbrecht from their starting lineup, promoted backup player Amos "aesthetic" Jun, and added Brandon "BOOBIE" Roberts. Dust2.us has learned that veK was cut due to trying out for other teams, while gizie has joined up with Impact to compete in the Main division.
Formerly known as Murderers Row 5, this squad won Season 26 Open over Miami Flamingos and secured a spot in Season 27 of MDL. veK and gizie were only added to the team however after the conclusion of Season 26. aesthetic played a portion of MDL S26 with Iceberg, but was replaced by Warren "hades" Rettich part-way through the season.
Orion's roster is now:
- Nick "N4j" Norman
- Allen "GhoulRW" Vo
- SJ "SJP" Park
- Amos "aesthetic" Jung
- Brandon "BOOBIE" Roberts
- Luis "Lui" Arzuaga (Backup)
Orion's first match will be against RONIN, who recently picked up Jonathan "Jonji" Carey and Collin "wrath" McSweegan, tomorrow evening. You'll be able to watch the match on ESEA's Twitch channel.
