MonoManiac eSports change three of the players in their line-up and one of the new members is xHazzard, who recently came to fame by subbing for CLG.Prime at the last two North American offline events.

The management team behind

Monomaniac eSports Dominatus recently decided that they need to change something in the team in order to get better results before the Season 2 Championship comes around. They claim there were "gameplay and communications issues" as well as difficulties coordinating practice times as the players were from different time zones.

This resulted in 3 players leaving and of course they had to be substituted fast. MonoeSports picked up

Joseph 'VileRoze' Bourassa,

Kelvin 'Lexvink' Li, who has previously played for

v8esports and

Michael 'xHazzard' Kuhlman. The latter surprised everybody with a very stable performance at MLG Anaheim and GESL while subbing for

Counter Logic Gaming .

The new line-up for MonoeSports is:

Kelvin 'Lexvink' Li

Brandon 'DontMashme' Phan

Jordan 'Patoy' Blackburn

Joseph 'VileRoze' Bourassa

Michael 'xHazzard' Kuhlman

The players gave the following statements:

xHazzard:

"Subbing for CLG at MLG and GESL - it really opened my eyes. The experience showed me what it takes to be the best. Coming home from these events I hoped to find a serious and strong team. I believe Monomaniac e-Sports has the potential to be the best in the world."

Lexvink:

"I am ecstatic about being able to once again play League of Legends at a competitive level. After v8 folded I decided to take a break from the competitive scene. But when DontMashme approached me with this offer I knew it was my chance to get back into the competitive scene and do well. I have high hopes for our team and will plan to pick up right where I left off."

VileRoze:

"Monomaniac e-Sports management staff really seem to care about their players. It's important to me to be apart of a organization that had a good reputation and a strong foundation. This is my first competitive team but I am eager to prove myself to the management staff and my fellow teammates."
