3sUP add mOE, Professor_Chaos

3sUP have been participating in the North American groups of CEVO Professional Season 8, as well as ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2, but were so far unable to break into the upper half.

The team has now responded to the mixed results by restructuring the lineup due to performance issues, as Francis "⁠kiko⁠" Lao and David "⁠DAVEY⁠" Stafford move to substitutes.

One of the replacements is a known figure within the North American scene, Mohamad "⁠mOE⁠" Assad, who has been without a prominent team since April, when he and Area51 parted ways.

He was also a part of the representing team for USA at the World Championships, who fell to eventual champions, France, and Netherlands to end up in last place of group C.

Andrew "⁠Professor_Chaos⁠" Heintz is the final pillar in the new roster, whom we could see playing for eLevate back in June, and alongside Kory "⁠SEMPHIS⁠" Friesen in Nihilum previously.

"We are very excited moving forward with our new roster. It had become apparent to us over the last few weeks of flaws in our team that we have been working relentlessly to fix. Unfortunately, we have not been able to correct said issues. As such we are making changes for the better of the team." team manager Nick "Sybe" Van Glahn told HLTV.org.

"Both Kiko and Davey are fantastic players and this roster change is not due to individual performance but rather team performance. We had certain styles that didn't mesh well together and as such we had to make a hard decision to better the team as a whole. That being said, both Kiko and Davey will remain apart of 3sUP.

Bringing on m0E and Professor Chaos helps bring a dynamic to our team that has been missing. We now have more tactical options with the playstyles of all five players working in sync better than they had before. We look forward to hopefully closing out the season with a strong record."
