EPG release four; hooch remains

25-5-2017 14:25

EPG has just announced it has released four of the members of its lineup, and will build a new team around Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov.

EPG's reason for releasing four of its players has been the team's unsatisfactory results. The news comes after the Russian team failed to make it to the CIS Minor and out of groups in the online Binary Dragons Cup.

hooch will be tasked with rebuilding the team

With the departure of Nikita "⁠waterfaLLZ⁠" Matveyev, Savelii "⁠jmqa⁠" Bragin, Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov, and Aleksei "⁠ub1que⁠" Polivanov, EPG will now rebuild a squad around the last man standing and team captain, Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov, who will have to find four players to fill out the roster in this new project.

The following statement could be seen on EPG's VK wall:

Each end of one story is the beginning of a new one. Today Elements Pro Gaming's management decided to bid farewell to four players CS: GO composition - Savely "jmqa" Bragin, Alexey "ub1que" Polivanov, Nikita "waterfaLLZ" Matveev and Cyril "Boombl4" Mikhailov. The reason for this decision was the unsatisfactory results. The new structure will be built around the team captain Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov.

We thank Sava, Lesha, Nikita and Kirill for the time they spent in the ranks of the EPG and wish them success on the playing field!

EPG's lineup now consists of:

Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov

They could have kept players like jmqa and waterfaLLZ these guys have experience in the CIS scene, so to me it is strange that they removed nearly everyone unless they have some better players in mind
