Hiki replaces SkyShark as IGL for HWML
Following his removal from h00liGaNz earlier last week, Dylan "Hiki" O'Kane has now joined HWML to take over the in-game leadership reigns from Bryan "SkyShark" P., Dust2.us has learned.
With HWML currently sitting at a dismal 22nd in season 27 of MDL, their chances of a playoff run are slim to none; however, wins are needed if the team hopes to remain in MDL for the next season, where the roster will hope to show their true colors. When reached for comment by Dust2.us, Hiki indicated that he looks forward to playing with the team as they "are all good friends", and looks to the future as HWML try to turn the tides.
Hiki already made his debut for the roster in HWML's match against Wise last night, where the team snuck through their first win this season after a close overtime bout thanks to a massive performance from ninteen-year-old Nicholas "Gh0st" Graham, who ended the match with 114 ADR over the course of 36 rounds. With their first win on the board, Hiki and co. have eight matches remaining in the season to redeem their current 1-7 scoreline.
HWML's roster now consists of:
- Ray "Rarkar" Xu
- Jeremy "tekaru" Tek
- Michael "Ayumi" Nguyen
- Nicholas "Gh0st" Graham
- Dylan "Hiki" O'Kane
