Worms pick up stanf1x

Orgless ESL Challenger League Season 49 squad have confirmed to Dust2.us that the team have picked up Kuanysh "stanf1x" Zhasbulatov, seeing the Kazakh Advanced player join the squad in place of Oleksandr "xsany" Bubnov following the latter's move to Party Astronauts this week.

The change in personnel in the Eastern European ECL squad comes as worms have sunk to the bottom of the regular season standings in recent weeks, with the team sitting at a 4-16 record; just ahead of the 3-19 InControl lineup. stanf1x comes into the team without much experience as the Kazakh import only has 18 matches on HLTV and is a former teammate of Ruslan "Rulik" Tkhoryk on ClayMakers.

stanf1x is probably most unknown to the CS community for his partnership with fellow Kazakh imports Dastan "T0rby" Beisenov and Alen "Sh1rax" Ismagambetov and with the wider Eastern European diaspora community.

Worms are now:

• Andrii "karv3r" Levchenko

• Andrii "s1renaa" Nahirnyi

• Ruslan "Rulik" Tkhoryk

• Mikhail "graphX" Graf

• Kuanysh "stanf1x" Zhasbulatov

Worms' next match in ESL Challenger League Season 49 will see the team take on Akimbo on April 1st.
