π Leviathan roster changes!!! π
Dimov, ABL, Happex, Werkom
- Reyache, sai, Irezumi
Werkom is expected to sub for ABL in DLNS and other tournaments where he may be banned from due to past actions.
Do you think ABL deserves a second chance to play?

In today's minor update, Valve has turned the urn into a King of the Hill style objective.
If no team captures the urn, it will simply "give up" after 75s and throw all the souls as orbs into the air.
Thoughts? π
Only one NA team remains in the Night Shift Open $12k this weekend, will Melee Creeps pull through for NA? Or will EU continue to dominate?
Day 2 (finals) teams:
- Abrahams π·πΊ
- Lowkey W π·πΊ
- Leviathan πͺπΊ
- Melee Creeps πΊπΈ
Tomorrow's bracket preview:
Roster update:
LordNM, Braeden, and Zirbzy will be playing for FPS Lounge in the Night Shift Open this weekend.
They will be substituting for Rocaine, Lomein, and Snakes.
The full roster will also include Hydration, Lefaa, and Poppers.
After Melee Creepβs shenanigans on DLNS, urn has been patched again.
Most notably, only a favored urn runner will gain a 35% resist boost until the urn is deposited. While depositing, the urn will grant a 35% resist aura for the behind team.
Melee Creeps bought 6 Golden Goose Eggs tonight, held a comeback urn hostage, which scrambled Floormen's heads and won them the entire series in one match. π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
