Wardell joins Rogue

Matthew "Wardell" Bowman has joined Rogue, finalizing the team's roster for the upcoming season.

Last month, Rogue has announced the signing of the core of Enigma6, who earned ESL Pro League promotion by beating Rush in last season's stage. After adding Daniel "⁠vice⁠" Kim, Collin "⁠wrath⁠" McSweegan and Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado, Rogue have also acquired the services of the North American veteran Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin and added Garett "⁠Grt⁠" Bambrough as a coach.

In the meantime, Rogue were looking to finalize their roster with an AWPer and were reportedly looking to sign Tsvetelin "⁠CeRq⁠" Dimitrov, but the Bulgarian is seemingly set to join NRG.

Now, Rogue have revealed that they completed their roster with Matthew "⁠WARDELL⁠" Yu, the former Bee's Money Crew and Ghost player.

Rogue have decided to take on Wardell as their fifth

The 19-year-old's experience of high-level CS has been limited, though, with exposure to the top-level limited to a single season of ECS. That is soon to change, as a whole season of ESL Pro League awaits WARDELL and his new team.

However, Rogue won't be able to use their full roster from the start of Pro League as wrath is currently underage. Until September 21st, when wrath turns 16, the team will be using Shawn "⁠witmer⁠" Taylor, a former teammate of shinobi and co. 

Rogue are now:

United States Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado
United States Daniel "⁠vice⁠" Kim
United States Collin "⁠wrath⁠" McSweegan
United States Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin
Canada Matthew "⁠WARDELL⁠" Yu

Canada Garett "⁠Grt⁠" Bambrough (coach)
United States Shawn "⁠witmer⁠" Taylor (stand-in)

He has no choice. He made unfair demands on all orgs in his quest for his "NA superteam". The times he has played as a stand-in, he has not shown anything special imo

Results overall beg to differ. Sure, most pros can post decent results here and there, but consistency is a whole other thing. Also, since you seem like a unknown to me, that must be pugs. That is not the same.

A+ in English. I kinda decoded old af Shakespeare English to get there. Also, Denmark's English education is better than most institutions around Europe. 0/8. Except for "won over them" (which you can say in American English) where you instead say "defeated" and one missing word at the end, it is fine. Again, 0/8. NT though.
