mManiac now RELiABLE; change two

MonoManiac have become RELiABLE GAMiNG and undergone changes as the team has recruited Kyle "flowsicK" Mendez and Arya "arya" Hekmat to replace two departed players.

The team recently made changes following a disappointing showing at ESEA Invite Season 14 Global Finals, choosing to add Justin "mosbeck" Mosbeck and Erik "kaotic" McCown.

Now the squad has decided to pull a one-eighty on Hekmat though, as he's been re-recruited into the team, while his season 13 finals partner, former UMX member Mendez also joins.

arya rejoins both his former teammate flowsicK and MonoManiac 

Departing the squad to make room for the two new members will be Will "rush" Wierzba as well as McCown, who had only joined the team roughly two weeks ago following the ESEA finals.

Mendez has a long history in CS 1.6 in teams such as UMX, and has most recently placed 7-8th at ESEA Invite Season 13 Finals, where he played for Denial eSports with Hekmat.

RELiABLE GAMiNG:

Arya "arya" Hekmat
Kyle "flowsicK" Mendez
Preston "juv3nile" Dornon
Justin "mosbeck" Mosbeck
Zach "TM-" Miller

MonoManiac have also singed a sponsorship agreement with RELiABLE GAMiNG, thus changing the name of the team. We reached Hekmat for a comment regarding all the changes:

"We had a good season with RUSH, a great teammate and friend but after reviewing our season as a team we realized a change was needed to bring it up a notch. Now we've reached a point where we had to decide whether we wanted to be known as the "online" team or become an impactful LAN team", Hekmat told HLTV.org.

"We saw that with our previous 5 we could not reach the degree of teamwork and skill necessary to reach our goals. After my replacement, TM/Juv3nile decided it was best to bring me back on board. With the core 3 and addition of mosbeck, who is hungrier than ever to prove to everyone he isn't just "online", and the addition of flowsicK, who has so far had what seems like a never ending amount of excellent performances at all major lans, we believe after the few trial runs these past few weeks with different line-ups this 5 has the most potential to make an impact at all upcoming events both online and LAN.

"I'd like to welcome both flowsicK and mosbeck to the team and I'm positive with both of them we are going to make a kick-ass team. I wish the best of luck to RUSH in the future, we appreciate the time and work you've put in for us these past few months. While I'm at it i'd also like to say I am really excited to introduce RELiABLE GAMiNG as our new team sponsor! Shout out to netcodeilluminati.com , razerzone.com, and Mike @ RELiABLE GAMiNG!"

RELiABLE will next participate in MSI Beat it! US Open Qualifier, where they've been drawn into group A, and ESEA Invite Season 15, which is set to begin in the next weeks.
